So i just wanted to get peoples opinions,
During winter i ride a 1992 Dawes Impulse with 11 speed 105 crank length 170.
I recently purchased a Trek Emonda SL8 11 speed dura ace crank length 172.5. To ride in summer etc.
I seem to be able to climb better on the Dawes which strikes me as odd considering the Emonda is much much much lighter. I also seem to be more comfortable on the Dawes and get a lot of lower back pain on the Emonda.
The only difference in set up bar geometry etc is the crank length.
Could this be an issue stopping the Emonda perform? Or could it just be my fit on the Emonda. Or something else i have overlooked?
Thanks in advance,
Callum
