How will you know until you try? What chainring and cassette combo do you have now?Quote:

word of the day: piscatorial
I love it!
And I would have thought it should have been "pescatorial", but it turns out I'm totally wrong.Quote:

We'll have to turn to our Latin expert, Veronica, for the explanation but my assumption is that "piscator" is the Latin and "pescator" is the Spanish.
Piscator is the main character in Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler. Now you know the source of the Wonder Poodle's name.
My, we're getting awfully erudite today.
Without looking it up, I'm assuming it has something to do with fish, given that my extensive knowledge of Italian tells me that "pesca" is the word for fish.
Oh, SK, I'm just playing with you. ;) I still have the same chainring/cassette configuration as before. No time or money for changing at the moment. However, Monday IS my birthday, so we'll see what I get!! :)Quote:

I'm completely stressed and just dont give a hoot anymore..........
Do you think you'll regret it if you don't go?
I'd be glad to say something high falutin' sounding if you choose to honor us with your highly 'larned presence.
on second thought, I won't bore you with my presence. Have fun!Quote:

Winddance and I are going to ride Old Tunnel Rd and some of Skyline Sunday morning! (nice and slow - BikerZ-style!) She's got herself some new hill-climbing gears! Woo Hoo!
Oh, that's great! I hope you guys have fun!
Slinke - what does your krebs say about Tunnel Rd?
I have to find that post that explains what "Krebs" is...
Oh, I'm curious too. For all I know, Krebs is some wise old mapmaker that you keep in your closet!
Map maker indeed: http://www.krebscycleproducts.com/
