[python] Re: Gearing for high speed and minimum speed going uphill.

Bonsoir Ghislain,
merci pour le jolie foto! I wished, I had more time this summer for touring around - my job is killing me ... 


Going downhill :
I'm using a 53 teeth only, (as I have a 61 teeth chain ring on a shelf, but I don't use it on purpose) to limit my maximum speed, which, for now, is about 53 km/h at 120 rev/mn. (not continuous, flashes only)
Do you mean, your maximum downhill speed was 53 kph? This is quite similar to mine. I notice that your handlebars are attached to the rear part: Another hint for the correctness of Dirk's theory. 


Going uphill :
The minimum speed I can sustain is 7km/h at 65 rev/mn about. And I must sustain this speed whatever the slope of the road is, to keep the python rolling straight. Keep pedaling or unclip the pedals, no choice !
What is your minimum speed going uphill, and could shorter pedals allow a decrease of speed ?
I can go quite slow uphill by using my fingertips walking on the ground to keep me from falling. I love climbing with the python.
I note that you've changed the seat and the pedals of your bike. How many kilometers have you ridden with it? Who rides your first python now? 

Salut,
Jürgen.
