Senrab62... full disclosure about me and my bike!
I am 65yrs young, 175lbs and 5’10” tall. I ride a Pure Cycles steel single speed with WTB 700-28c ThickSlick tires, front & rear Tektro rim brakes, levers mounted on 420mm bullhorn handlebars. Cranks are 170mm with Wellgo platform pedals driving a 48T chainring to a 16T freewheel gear, chain is 1/8” x 1/2” link.
I am not allowed to post photos just yet because I don't have enough posts on BF. So I will quote my info from my Wahoo as shown on my iPhone ...today I rode 7.86 miles, ave speed 20.8 mph, top speed 25.4mph, moving time is 22:42 min, ave cadence 86rpm max cadence 107rpm, wind was 14mph out of the NW. Half of my ride was into the wind.
Although I’m ok with the 48T chainring, I’m thinking 50T maybe a bit more comfortable. My goal is consistent cadence with best average speed. I use my bike for two purposes, transportation to and from work and quick simple workouts. I rarely ride for pleasure, unless my brother should visit once in a blue moon!
I’ll gladly post photos when I reach the 10 post mark.
