Decisions... Decisions...
Team Over-Analysis kicked into high gear (no pun intended) today as I thought through Kanza and my bike setup. Today's sticking point proved to be the number of teeth to throw on the back. Last year, 17t served me well, but I was spun out several times during the race and interestingly enough, it was always just before a checkpoint. I recall deciding then that I would make the change, but a year has rolled by and now I sit looking at the Pink IF and wondering what to do. I'm leaning toward the 16t, but had I made this same decision regarding TI, I would have been wrong to change. Decisions... Decisions... Decisions...

I'd go with the 17, it looks lighter, but what do I know.
16. It's less worn out.
I would go with the 17tooth. More spin and less muscle. I would go with a new cog if that is worn and a new chain. I have also swapped out to a Surly stainless chainring. They are strong and have no ramps.

I would strip the bike down to just the bare frame and run with it between my legs making horsey sounds the whole way, but I'm won't be there this year so what do I know.
Giddy-Up!
sweet 16
I'd put a motor on it. Wind. Stop it.
