Pictures of a chainring do nothing to prove that you are constantly riding around on a 53-12 with a 110 cadence at 38 MPH, without exhaustion! And that little jewel about riding up a 70-85 degree hill using the 61 chainring is especially entertaining.zander said:61 chainring overview;

just why you think i would waste this much time on a BS story is a little weird.
gimme two minutes...Pictures of a chainring do nothing to prove that you are constantly riding around on a 53-12 with a 110 cadence at 38 MPH, without exhaustion! And that little jewel about riding up a 70-85 degree hill using the 61 chainring is especially entertaining.
You came to this forum seeking advice on cadence, optimal cycling gear ratios, and the gear ratios likely to damage your knees. All of your questions were answered within the first few replies to each of your posts. Yet despite all of our advice, you act as if your incredibly high gear ratios are perfectly normal. They are not.
So now my question to you is:
If you have no intention of heeding anyone's advice, why even ask for it?
sorry, missed what i should've taken from that, so what will? get a haircut? lose some weight? run away to the circus? this isn't advice.A change in your diet will not fix that problem.
see much better, get a normal chainring. after this i asked what is considered normal. i asked if a 55 was normal.Diet wont do diddley squat for your ligament pain. Simply get a more normal chainring set,
see? fantastic advice 55 is getting there but your still over the top.55 is more common and reasonable. Not really necesary though.
if you still think i haven't taken any of your advice on by now, your not worth replying to.i get over 110 RPM's constant with a 53, without exhaustion, i just got bored and thought getting a bigger ring would go faster, obviously not...
and i just found out that if i whack an 11t cog on the back of ma cassette, with a 53 or 55t chainring, i can get a ratio not far off that of a my chainrings.
anyways if the mods want to close this thread, go for it, thanks for the info everybody.
on this very page i had to repeat myself again that i was changing chainrings and had taken your advice, but i still got ****. you tell me, who's the one getting told over and over again and not taking heed?Quote:
Grinding your way up a hill in a tall gear at a low cadence is a sure-fire recipe for the knee problems you're getting.
Perhaps if you stopped re-injuring yourself each time you ride like this and got out of the way of your body, it might have a better chance of getting some repairs done.
It's not like what we're telling you is anything new. It's the combined knowledge of elite cycling coaches and biomechanists worldwide, and matches our own experience.
ok, have you read my other thread about gear ratios?, because if you did you would find that i'm changing my gears from a 57 to a 53 with a rear 11t cog as opposed to a 12t which is what i was using, it gives me a similiar gear ratio to the the 57. this is why i came here, criticising me DOESN'T WORK!, i asked on advice on optimizing my gear ratio, thats why i joined this forum.
all i got was alot of terminology (especially in the gear ratio topic) that i didn't know about, i was asking about it, obviously if i'm asking about it, i won't know about it.All of your questions were answered within the first few replies to each of your posts.
yeah think i'v already covered this, twiceYet despite all of our advice, you act as if your incredibly high gear ratios are perfectly normal. They are not.
definately covered this one as well.So now my question to you is:
If you have no intention of heeding anyone's advice, why even ask for it?
My suggestion then is that you get in touch with some of the Euro cycling teams. IF this isn't complete BS then you stand to make serious money as a general classification rider on one of TdF teams.zander said:so now my question to you is:
whats your problem? can't believe i can do 110 RPM without exhaustion well unfortunately i can't prove that, sorry.
