Well said, and I will add that you will also get muscularly accustomed to pedalling a single gear which you would not have been comfortable with before -- that is, you will get used after a while to climbing in gears much higher than you could before. I used to be a 100 - 120 rpm spinner, ie I routinely cruised at 108 rpm. Now I am much more comfortable at about 90, but I can climb in a 65, 70 and 75" gear things that I never could do comfortably before. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
