    Um, what's mashing? Is it the opposite of spinning like a wildwoman to get up a hill?

    Bent, good luck with that knee and here's hoping you don't need surgery! Biking is the best thing for my tricky knee, as long as the gears are low enough.

    The knee is feeling better

    I have the MRI scheduled for Saturday morning.

    Actually I have a 31 inch inseam and have never felt any discomfort while biking. I know not to "mash" so that's not a problem. The gear ratio on the bent is pretty low, 24-123, 27 gears, so I have pretty good range of gearing. I may think about the shorter cranks, eventually. After the fairing and car carrier I want to get.

    I think this is just an old injury lifting up it's ugly head. Both knees have been scoped in the past for torn cartilidge and I think that's the problem here. The MRI will tell all, hopefully.

    I'll let you know something when I know.
