Hi Bill,

Thanks for checking out the site. I should have been more clear. The
site is a prototype and is not in use yet.

I posted to find out if people like the name GrannyRing.com. Judging
by the results of the poll, I think the answer is 'NO.'

The problem on this group is that nobody will ever admit to using a
granny ring. The commuters ride level (mostly) to work and back and the
ones who do ride mountains all want to think they are Lance Armstrong
and don't need them.

I think I may have a renaming contest with some sort of prize.
Probably a gift certificate. Details to come!

This group might go for Bigring.com. I find it hard to believe that
nobody will admit to just going out and enjoying the 'outside' part of
it but that most posters claim training speeds are the only way to go.
I just like to ride, slow or fast.
Good luck.
Bill Baka

It kind of suits me when I am in the lazy mode, running a 20/28 combo,
spinning like crazy and barely going faster than walking speed. Of
course I am not in a hurry since I know there will be more mountains to
attack, motivation willing.
I went to the site and it plays a little funny. I put in both Schwinn
(my road bike) and Mongoose (my dirty MTB) and came up with nothing.
Maybe the home page should have more ways to jump into some content.
I don't invest in Treks so if that was expected I can't go there.

Good idea though.
