Subject: RE: Compact cranks?Not saying 650s are a bad thing ![](https://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/images/emoticons/wink.gif) I just remember watching a 100# female and a 180 lb male speeding past me on this hill with big cranks and 11/23s and thinking WOW! ...real studs... both of them
Then I begain to learn about gearing
They were studs/studettes but geraing can make a big difference and smaller wheels can make a really big difference. |
