Well Scott, apparently you missed the part from yesterdays post-
"In "cruising mode", my cadence was about 83, or 10 RPM higher than with the 170's. That's 20+ higher than the 175's."

OR, from my original post about bad knees and WHY I had trouble spinning faster than 60's with 175MM cranks!
BTW, I would have posted this in the 60+ forum IF they had one!
