But in this test, the Calfee felt sluggish compared to the other two on both climbs and flats - it did not reward each stroke enough to encourage the body to do more. average speeds were 18.3 on the Calfee, 18.7 on the Parlee and 19.1 on the Crumpton. Feeling of efficient power transmission: Parlee 10, Crumpton 8.5, Calfee 7.5. Post Extras
