Swapped out the crank after work tonight. Turns out the Sugino that was on it is a 170mm crank arm length. I'm thinking that will make a huge difference going to the 175mm Deore crank. Hoping to get out for a ride tomorrow after work. Pretty sure I will now need to adjust the saddle height, but I will hold off on that until the stem is replaced, expected arrival Monday or Tuesday. You know, I'm getting kind of excited to see what these changes will do to the ride of this bike...
