yeah, like i said 52x16 is fine on flats, but haul your ass up the same 3 hills every day and then we can talk. my knees were fine before my commute changed and within a month of that they were jello.

spinning ain't winning by the way. i'm not a ****ing roadie... i own 1 bike. if i cared about building my spin for something i buy a set of tights. you fellers who like low gearing must never need to go fast, and that's cool, but i do, and spinning out before i'm even going fast sucks.
