    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Ratz, I think you are pretty much the KING of Power (KOP) on a Cruzbike; any Cruzbike. Loner or no loner - I don't think I can ever match you up a hill unless your chain drops, or I distract you in some way! :eek: - But that doesn't mean I won't keep trying!:p:);)

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    This is right on target with my testing and my perceived "effort", and perceived "differences" when switching back and forth from round to Q-rings. I even did some testing riding at 110 and 120 rpms as well, and truthfully when pedaling that fast, there is really no noticeable difference as long...

    Take-aways from Portland retreat

    Taking a break from crawling on my hands and knees installing flooring in my hall (help me - I'm on the floor and I can't get up!!), and thought I would post my take-aways from the Cruzbike weekend: There were so many things that others have already commented on that where awesome: Robert's "ask...

    Uh oh...V20 back in stock!

    Get some soccer shorts with hips pads - they are cheaper and lighter. Mirrors - I bought these hand mirror on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000TCGD96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They work great and do not take up any handlebar space (which is good since I don't have...

    I'm really looking forward to your initial assessment of it and how the different settings "feel" to you.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    Wow - that would be quite a workout - and I think you have a really good idea here to follow. I'll have to ponder if riding that hard in the first set would negatively affect the second set due to fatigue. There also might be another way to test what you have proposed Slim - stay tuned...

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    I think you'll get that, and you've got time to experiment with the different OCP settings to see which one feels best. Good luck.

    Q ring upgrade - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh......

    I have a "reg-Q" 52, and an QXL - 53. The way I read the instructions I thought the OCP #1 was for best "flat terrain" riding in steady state. That is what I basically have ridden in both of the large rings. I then mount the "smaller" rings on the OCP #5 for the better climbing aspect. I...
