Use a letter opener.

? ;-)

I dip my fingers all the time

I found a knife!  Works just fine and I don't have to worry about getting PB all over the computer keys.  Win/Win!! 

No sense of adventure

I'm living large as well, typing meeting minutes that no one will read. My Dream Job!

Hoping your variety of ailments start to feel better.

Oh yeah, I am also listening to the 2 pregnant ladies in my department discussing breast feeding, baby names, etc. I may use the letter opener to gouge out my ears.

Wipe down a pen or unsharpened pencil. Heck, go find a coffee stirrer. NEVER MIND... I'M LATE TO THE PROBLEM SOLVING PARTY.

No - I have a standard crank (39, 53) and an 11 - 23 casette. (11 - 17 + 19, 21, 23).  

Couple questions:

  1. What is the largest front crank I can go to? 
  2. Smallest rear?  (I really want a bigger front crank for those screaming descents, but don't want to screw up my paces on the flats.  At the same time - I feel I will develop into a faster rider on the flats if I start working with a larger chain ring on the front).  
  3. What would you recommend for routes with a lot tougher climbing? Here's a link to one of my routes around here. 56 miles  This is a pretty common amount of climbing for me - no matter what loop I do around here.  I handle these hills fine with my current setup (I didn't used to be able to say that).  This climb - almost killed me.  It is short - but there are segments between 10% and 15%.  It hurt - and my cadence dropped into the low 60's for this Beast.  

I'm sure it's in there - but just for good measure...

It's the gap between the big and small ring that is likely to limit you, at 16T. So with a 39 small, that would be a 55 big ring. That would take you from 52 mph to 53.9. You're not actually going to feel that difference. I'd rather keep it lower so that I wasn't shifting between the two rings so much. Thinking you can get more out of learning to spin better for going really fast.  I know you spin high on normal pacing (at or just over 100?), but how much higher can you go (in control)? I can usually go something like 140 to a bit over 150 (I run out of hill before going higher), and have gone over 190 before. I know it sounds fun, but you'd really be sacrificing some in a more usable range. And I know the feeling, but there is no reason a bigger ring would make you faster on the flats.

Don't go smaller than 11 for the rear cog. There are 10's available, but not all derailleurs can handle them and with their small size they get less efficient. Enough that it can become noticeable.

With hills like that around, I'd be looking at another gear or two. I normally use an 11-23 in back because there isn't anything really substantial in the near area. I have an 11-28 that I'll switch in for the big rides I post. Those I have to drive to.

What is wrong with your shoulder/knee?

Shoulder = biceps tendonosis

Knee = lack of ACL plus tight hamstring/butt = knee out of alignment and gets sore.  Ongoing, used to it, ice for prevention more than anything kinda deal.

Way cool! Most importantly, when is it scheduled to open?

I now have Pandora on and earbuds in. I am almost ready to detach from the network and wander somewhere else in the building.
