I value low "Q" but only to a point. Modern mountain bike cranks, etc., make me feel like I'm riding a horse, but the extra few mm MKS touring pedals add to my Cyclotourist cranks makes no difference to me. Compared to the bloody ankle bruises I get with narrow pedals, I consider it a very good compromise. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
