Wheel deflection

Not everybody has legs like Jobst. Indeed. In addition, standing and honking at a low cadence may be fine on the road, but does not work as well as spinning in low traction situations. The silliness is a rider much weaker than a UCI professional using the same 53/39-11/23 gearing. -- Tom Sherman - 42.435731,-83.985007 If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the precipitate. |

The silliness is a rider much weaker than a UCI professional using the same 53/39-11/23 gearing. Absolutely. That's why I run 50-39/12-13-14-15-17-19-21. -- Michael Press |
