Specs
46-33 48-35
(172.5 160mm)
10-36
Saddle height kept the same
I'd been thinking about trying somewhere around 165,
but somehow ended up dropping straight to 160, so I gave it a shot
Biggest thing I noticed
Cadence — at what feels like the same effort, I seem to get about 10 more rpm?
To exaggerate a bit, spinning feels so easy it's almost like my feet get dragged along by the pedals
but by that same measure my knees feel like they're moving more sharply, which could be a strain
Other minor things
When dancing, my leg still has a bit left to give but the pedal's already fully pressed down
so if I push with the same force as before, it could throw me off balance.
And cornering while banking also feels a bit more unstable somehow
Climbing is just hard no matter what... going with taking it easy
PS please recommend a saddle adjustment
since it was set up maxed all the way at 172.5
