Although I will always love riding harder and pushing myself on my road bike there is an obvious place for a SS, and you have just mentioned it above. However, I do that to say that I am a little bewildered as to setting the tension as a lot of people have mentioned on here. -- How do I know? Again, forgive the ignorance here but.... I don't wrench on my own bikes yet and cannot do a lot of the conversion and over-haulin' that most of you experienced riders do dalily! So, with that said, how do i get a good barring on what I should be set up on- tension/gearwise? I get the whole bike fit etc... but to figure out what tension/resistance I ride is completely beyond my skills. -- ?? As a lot of you have mentioned, I need to pick a gear that seems like a solid one in most all situations then rock it out for the next 2 weeks. -- So after I do this how do I buy one that is rigged for my exact liking?... or do I just figure it out then spin into a shop and have them rig it for me?! Hmmmm, input is appreciated but remember as much as it sux, I'm a newbie so U are probably gonna have to simplify your "tech- speak" a little so this rookie can follow what your sayin'!! LOL! And thanks, you all have been crazy helpful up to this point!
