I have been trying to extend my out of saddle workouts and varying steepness/gearing etc.
It would appear that at high power/forces the limitation is the gravitational force of my body down on the pedals as well as how much my arms can pull the bike upwards to force my leg/body to push the pedal down.
It would appear that the pulling motion seems to be a major limitation, is this correct ?
Are all of those tour riders doing serious pulling when they are sprinting up the alps out of the saddle ?
