Hey, what's up?

Just checking in.

Also, I have a 29" inseam, so would I benefit from changing my 175mm cranks to 165mm cranks on my touring bike?

OK, so I guess I had a question as well.

Will do. The old chain was the original KMC Z-72, so it was about 7 years old. I may change the cassette as well in the near future, just to be thorough.
