Made my first "100 km ride" last Monday! Kinda proud, so I wanna share 😊. 112 km, 5.5 hours total, cumulative elevation gain 3800 m.

Is it the gear range that mainly affect the speed? Have to ask as the only bike i ever rode is 20inch wheel heavy as heck bmx and currently a folding bike 😅

I'd say wheels might be the most important of all, you can even improve your speed significantly without putting in any money just by increasing their pressure

The gear range, the tires and the weight.
