exactly I agree, people have unrealistic expectations from scientific studies.

Everyone knows armstrong uses a higher cadence. It doesn't have to be in the mountains. Its in the flats in the time trials, everywhere. That does not mean that in the mountains he is spinning 100+rpm. What it means is that he usually used a HIGHER cadence than the riders next to him. If he was...

There is actually a formula for which is better for climbing, sitting or standing. Here it is If hight in Inches is greater than weight in Kilos. Stand If hight is Inches is less than weight in Kilos. Stay seated. Take your height in Inches. so if you are 6 ft tall, your number is 72. If...

This is an extremely stupid comparison and insulting to anyone who has personally suffered from lung cancer or knows someone who has. I don't really know how smoking and a cycling gadget can be used in the same sentence. All I am saying its best to try before judging them. maybe if you try...

anyone know anything about the new generation of litespeeds? Especially the blade. I heard from the LBS that the 05 blade model is "better." Any thoughts? thanks

Which wheel (for the front) is faster for a 40k tt? (I'm thinking of building up a litespeed blade.)
