I don't live for the downs, i'm fairly sure I pedal a lot more than a lot of MTB bros, and my easiest gear is a 30-50 (that's how my bike came from the factory). I'm not afraid to say it, I use 30-50 a lot, and not just on super techy stuff. Maybe i'm a whimp, don't know, don't care to be honest. I try to push my limits sometimes but i'm mainly out there to be out in nature, explore new places, have fun, not to go all out all the time and kill myself on every climb. Personally I wouldn't be too happy to give up my 30x50. But sadly saying that probably makes me around 18% less manly. I'll go out and chop some firewood, hopefully that will offset things.
