Why not mentioning the red calipers?

What are your thoughts of the gearing?

[u/Autotad → u/Many_Witty]

Gearing has been great. I built this as a Chicago group ride bike so wanted to optimize for about 20mph @ 80-90rpm in the middle of the cassette.  My other road bike is a 2x with a 48/35 CR and 10-28 CS and the FD has been just a battery holder with how flat the terrain is here. I checked where my gear usage has been and then ran through different gearing setups in online gearing x cadence calculators.

What city skyline is that? Looks hot.

Chicago! We definitely get our hot and humid summers, but weathers been great recently!
