Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Hi,
I just ordered some 167.5 cranks. My saddle gets pushed to the left with 170 cranks, and 165 felt short to me. Could be my imagination. Not the saddle getting out of whack, the feel of the 165s.

In any case, if you have wanted to try 167.5, the one I got was about $85 delivered for an
Ultegra after you enter the valbar coupon code.

Why do people keep posting great deals on things that I want but don't really need?
