You mean lighter with your gearing? Because lighter pedals will really do nothing to make hills easier.

I don't ride 42/17. Just a simple recommendation for anyone looking to climb on their SS.

I'm in SF too

I'm switching my 15t for an 18t cog next week - did you have to change your chain out or add links?

I don't know, I'm assuming not now that you ask? I haven't seen individual links for sale - but I feel like I've seen someone on the forum said "you might have to add some links" when I searched on the topic so I thought it was an option. Like maybe an LBS had a bits-box of links to add from tuning peoples chains? I'm new to bikes/maintenance so bear with me.

You can always buy a new chain, and that will be much longer than you need.

What does BD have to do with the availability of individual chain links for purchase?

quick question, can someone who has a WTH give me a measurement on the decals on the top & down tube? Ordered my bike and was looking to get a sticker made up to cover the decals. If you can do this I would greatly appreciate it.

Cheers,
Aristo

I got you, dude. Top tube: 6" x 1" Down tube 10" x 1". I figured those are the only ones you're concerned with.

Also! I put bullhorns on mine. Yay? Maybe. Not sure about the angle but it's comfy.
