Thanks for the advice I have gotten. I have been out on several rides getting used to my new bike but my only comment or complaint is why is it so damn slow. I said when looking that speed wasn't an issue but I have it on the highest gear and am spinning so much as other riders are flying by me. Is it me? Is it the bike? The big ring on this bike feels like the small ring on my previous bike. Although I could barely get up a hill with the the old bike. I hope to do more longer rides and hills and see if the comfort for more distance will outweigh the feeling of going so slow.
I looked up the comparison between my bike and the Emonda and they both had max speed at 39mph. Does it mean I have to do more WORK pedaling? I mean the other bike hardly had to pedal to be zooming down the road.
