I've always ridden 165 on the track and never had an issue jumping back and forth. Seems like a worth while experiment.

Anybody else make this change? Adaptation time? Did you notice an immediate impact?
I made the change to 165's. Not sure if it made a difference but I've learned when you don't succeed listen to your coach.
I did and they are on two of the bikes now.

Can't put them on the [MENTION=207647]sarals[/MENTION] red tt bike all I could do to get compact gearing on that.
