Wow, Coasting on a downhill, I hit 19 mph. Otherwise I can get into the 12mph range. That is usually in gear 14 to 15. I haven't used gears 19 through 27 much...
Steve, It's all about time in the "saddle" as we say. Sounds like you have a handle on it with using higher RPM's. It's best not to push to hard until you...

Steve, Tires is a good question. I Have a question for you. What is the width of your tire? Hopefully it is at least 23mm as you go smaller you reduce the...
RE: Training & Speed It's all about time in the saddle and setting goals. Find a riding buddy that is faster than you that will challange you. Drafting is...
You can count on me being there Mark. Don't know about setting new records but I'll definitely come with that type of mentality! -Oz Strength & Honor ... ...
Steve, There are wider tires possibly 25 & 28mm used for touring bikes in Europe the only difficulty is make sure the larger size will fit in your frame....
