I did a speed run on the return trip of a big hill climb Steveyo and I did yesterday. I reached 23mph a few times, and 24.1 once. This was recorded with a Garmin GPS and I think is relatively accurate.
This was with 165 cranks. This downhill is great for a speed run, not too steep, nice and long. I’d like to try again with 150 or 137’s.
