What are you running at the moment?

41 18 on 180s. My gates seem slow in starting.

have you considered the fact that your new race mates are just fookin' quick as thats quite a low gearing....

For sure. 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. :)

i went for the spinning option, feels faster for sure!!! dropped the crank length from 180 to 175 - does work!

If you have shorter crank does that mean you need a lower gear :-\
