Test ride to see how my knee was doing and check out the raised seat height on the mtb. Both felt good. Surprised in the bike shop yesterday when the tech said the pedal-to-seat height should be the same for my mtb and road bike. I thought the mtb should be lower for better maneuvering, but he said the mechanical advantage is more important. In any case, it works fine on the road; we'll see in the woods.

He also said to forget about upgrading my Peugeot road bike. It is so old the components will crumble if I put a wrench to them. So I guess it's no granny gear nor replacing the steel crank arms. Ok on the flats, but the VT hills are a struggle.
