Sleazy: If you think climbing hills is about speed, then you have no idea what riding is all about. Look at the average speed on the climb the first day the tour hit the alps this year. 15km/hour (about 9.5mph). Muscles are for sprinting. Stamina is for climbing.

Take it from a life-long big gear pusher trying to mend his ways. The day you start becoming more concerned with maintaining a cadence between 90 and 100 is the day you become a better rider and begin shedding pounds a lot faster.
