Last week I had an opportunity to ride a Specialized Tarmac for a couple days. I was amazed at how much of my pedaling energy seemed to transfer to the rear wheel.
My question is: if I were to swap the crankset on my Allez from the 105 w/ a square taper B/B to a Hollowtech or other external bearing would I feel the same difference, or is it more related to difference in frame stiffness between the two bikes, OR is it because my bike has 170mm cranks and the Tarmac had 172's? [chainring size on both was the same]
Thanks
