HHH is my only full century that I ride (just to prove I'm alive).

Chainring is at the sametime as Oklahoma freewheel. So if I can slow things down I'll do freewheel.

Welcome to the forums --even if you are an "old" rider. At only 53, I don't think so. (There was quite a discussion about this several months ago. It was started by DnvrFx and might be fun for you to look at in the archives.) Hope you'll have a lot of questions and answers to share with the rest of us.

If you are an old roadie, I must be an "ancient" roadie. I am not sure I think that is a compliment??

You have a lot of company here. I am one of the younger oldsters at 62+. Many more older. So, despite your thoughts about yourself, you are really a "young" roadie.

Welcome to the forum.
