New Crank success!

Yay! I apparently have a 170 and it's really good. I'd be intrigued to try a 165, sometime, as I have squatty little legs.

I took a leap of faith in getting a smaller size, and I am pleasantly pleased. Obviously.

I see you're "tackling Tahoe" One of these years I want to do that with Team and Training. Hills scare me. I live in a very flat area.

It's reasonably flat where I am, too. The hills aren't what scare me so much as the elevation. I'm not sure what my asthmatic lungs are going to think about that. Last year I rode in Death Valley...the heat was intense, but my lungs felt great below sea level!

"Deadspace?"

Wow! Glad you got that taken care of

I thought it was called Dead spot? Whichever it is, my pedal stroke is a lot smoother!

I didn't even think of the altitude issue! I did my first century with TNT and it's 99.9% flat and the coach told me the Tahoe ride isn't any harder. I find that hard to believe. A 8 mile climb? hmmmm.

Good luck!

Yeah, we live at 350 ft. above sea level, I believe. That thinner air could make for a long day!
