1. I have an Ultegra 6800 crank 53/39...I'm thinking this is a bit too much and will cause much suffering, especially on the run. Can you just switch off the rings on the new Ultegra (to a 50/34) or will I have to buy an entire new crankset?
2. What is the steepest gradient on the course? Longest climbing segment? I'm just trying to gauge if I can get away with the 53/39 up front if you can't switch out chainrings and just gear the back end 11/28. I'm a decent climber (did 8000 ft on my last ride).
Any advice, ultegra knowledge is appreciated!
Thanks
