What would the track experts on here recommend for an out tarmac track compared to an indoor one? events would inc a kilo or rather 2 laps (Maindy) which is just over 900m.

at present its youth gearing @ 49x15 and its for a female, so i m thinking 49x16 ?

thanks

    I'm not a 'gearing expert', but if she is on a youth restriction, why not just use that gear?

    Most of the girls where running lower, than youth A restriction, and in the 1km TT, many boys wished they were too, as they hit the head wind on the 2nd lap.
    in the bunch races, again slightly lower helped.
