I started out on 175, then ended up on 165s for years.
Last year I raced on 155s, but for some reason always felt like my quads were doing all the work.
I also felt like I was having to push down really hard and there never seemed to be enough time to apply the force!
But I felt it was ok because I was in a better position with a more open hip angle.
I've just put some 165s back on and they feel so much better in terms of muscle use and fatigue. I also felt climbing was much easier.
Has anyone else found this? What did you go back to?
I'd love to compare power outside but only have a neo turbo for power.
