The combination I have now has revolutionised my touring capabilities.
Sorry to labour the point (I warned you, it's an obsession), but back axle for a Pearl would be 5.25 I suppose, thus 7% lower final drive ratio compared with my Ulster rep.
i.e. bound to do better on steep climbs.
I imagine the CR box + sports axle is a dream on the open road, and probably stonks up hills if you have a clear run.
Once baulked though I'd have thought you'd struggle to hang onto 2nd on the steep stuff, it is pretty high compared with the standard set-up?
