I set up a different thread for the shorter cranks discussion part of the OK is OK thread..
PB Quote from Killer Bee on May 30th, 2009, 7:23pm:18+ miles to finish. We pick up the pace & finish at 3:10pm. Ride time was 8hrs-40 mins, total mileage was 131.15. My avg. speed was 17.25 mph. This was a "PR" for Peggy
. She rode exceptionally well for someone recovery from surgery a few weeks ago & this was her first time back on the bike & in the heat. Pedalin' Peggy is back.
Great job Peggy! I expect I won't be catching you at goatneck this year eh? Looks like you should do really well at the TTT I'll be down there watching, er volunteering, this year so I'll see all you speedies down there.
Shellene,
I found it hard to find 165s online anywhere when I was searching but I went over to my LBS and they could get any shimano one I wanted without any sort of problem and they had it for me two days after I ordered. If you want shorter then 165 I think that is where it gets harder to find double and triples in that size.
I have forza's on one of the bikes at home and they come in 145, 155, 165 but use that old fangled square taper BB. They are cheap but tough, and perhaps heavy, but worked well enough to try it out without spending a lot.
