I just ordered my 200 mm crank arms and 55 tooth front sprocket. They should be here by this time next week. My current crank arms are 170 mm in length, by adding 30 mm (which is an inch and a quarter) I’ll be using Archimedes theory about levers (not his heat ray theory, but that one would be cool too).

The rest of the day/night, I was tired. There is a path that goes from Conshy to Reading (and supposedly beyond) but once you get to Phoenixiville, it disappears for a while then reappears around Pottstown as a gravel path. Not so good for the thin road bike tires. So I chose a very hilly way to get to Reading PA on the side roads (I didn’t purposely choose them, they just happened to go that direction . . . → Read More: Now all I have to do is…. |
