It's a biggy and I am slightly concerned at Portsdown Hill. 46 / 17.

Maybe walking it until I've had a bit more practice.

Cheers Dave.

I decided to not go completely retro and ditched the toe clips. Got the shop to swap out with some Time ATAC's so I can use the same shoes with both my mountain bike and this one.
