for me, sore ankles aren't as bad as sore knees (had both), so i err
on the side of too high
I tend to raise it during a ride when my
legs are getting too tired also, like the other day when i was taking
my mountain bike on the roads, and was trying to catch up to two guys
on road bikes. I caught up to them slowly over about half an hour but
then they left me behind <G> I thought it might have been cause my
bike was heavier and all, what with the lead acid battery for lights
and all, but since most of the catching up was done on uphills, they
must've jjust been fitter
