more power

     I did the 50-mile loop today.  Three weeks ago I did 22.3mph average and today I did 24.5mph.  That's far faster than I've done it on any bike.  As a matter of fact I averaged 23.3mph on the uphill first half.  I spun out a lot of the way home but I've got a 60-tooth chainring coming soon.

     I'm going to have my Powertap hub wired into a 20" rim so I can test my power.  I suspect I can crank out well over 300 watts now.

You might check to see if you can calibrate your Powertap to the 20" wheel first. Seems to me that wasn't an option with mine.

I have a PowerTap Std (no longer made) on my 406 wheel. Works okay.

I'm only concerned with the wattage function so hopefully I'll be okay.

Larry,

I'm hoping to make a Piru run in August if they finish the road work in time. If not, possibly September
