Gentle folk of the CR: How about coming back onto the banking and off the
flat?
If I recall a thousand or so posts ago , the query was about the "Q" factor.
Maybe some of you can measure the crank width dimensions or "Q" factor and
let us know what the differences are.
Then we could engage in a positive discussion about how riding our pet
steeds will be affected by foot width separation and what that refers to in
general.
Maybe then will the weight and looks fall into proper perspective.
Something like function before form.
For me, first I'd like to know how my riding will be impacted and when the
position is happy, then I'll go after the aesthetics.
Like picking your seat for looks rather than comfort.
What are YOUR measurements, kiddos?
