Replaced the rear cassette. Went from a 20 x 12 rear to a 28 x 14 (six speed free wheel)
New rings on front 39 and 52.
New tires Specialized Turbo's 700 x 23 125 max psi
New chain KMC
Was going to build a new set of wheels but decided to not to after overhauling the hubs.
(can't believe how simple bikes can be)
I'm gearing the bike for a very hilly course I'll be riding in May. Pushing the 39 x 20 up those
hills was good but I need to work on a higher cadence.
I expect to loose top end speed on the flats but with this course I'll more than make up for it on
the hills.
And some of you thought I only road an SS ;-)
Bill(strong roadie scum tendencies are beginning to show)Wheeler. Waddidyaexpect? I took a day off
today....had to do something while the kids were in school.
Where's my lycra?!.
The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.
