Wheels of Happiness

Our PE yesterday was jogging to Medalva (Botong Francisco highway) I took the opportunity to test the Sava Ti bike with XT group set, WTB wheel set and Manitou fork. I did 3 x ride up the hill. I used 32 chain ring and max of only 36 for the steepest part. For the hill, I used 32 x 32 and it was easy riding. I did not have to catch my breath, nor be in distress.
I rode it 1x before the ladies climbed; then I climbed it again as they were walking at the climb; Then as they were descending, I descended and climbed again the hill (that is the 3x time)
The weight and the gears of Sava Ti were perfect for the hill climb. There were others whom I saw negotiating on an MTB with platito gears (24 chain ring) walking. The others used 24 chain ring for the climb.
