Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Q-factor info

Anybody know of any published information on the q-factors of various cranksets? I'm in the midst of spec'ing out a new bike and my LBS is pretty uninformative.

what brand(s) are you considering?

some companies list the Q-factor on their site, such as FSA. These ones are 147mm

These Extralites say they're 160mm!! Wow, that's wide

....and several people here have measured their Dura-Ace to ~145mm
