A 44-16 ratio with 180mm cranks relates to 3.9 metres travelled with one revolution of the crank,
That would be easier.than 44-16
I run 42 18 on 175mm cranks on my dialled dex and it spins away quite happily. I bought 41 42 17 18 and that should cover me for everything.What are you running at the moment?
have you considered the fact that your new race mates are just fookin' quick as thats quite a low gearing....

And if that's the answer it's an easy one to fix - train, practice, train, practice. I clearly need to spin faster but I was wondering if a bigger gear may help? I'll stick with what I have for now.

If you have shorter crank does that mean you need a lower gear i went for the spinning option, feels faster for sure!!! dropped the crank length from 180 to 175 - does work!
