Howdy do,
I recently had may new bike set up by Qld Sport Medicine. Leon (the bike set up man) instructed me that I need to come through more with my heel on the downward pedal stroke, giving more work to my calves. I had been told years ago to stay flat, hence my riding style. Is there a correct pedal stroke? Will it maximise power etc. Any thoughts would be great. My current style hasn't of course stopped the km's, it would just be good to know so I can improve.
Thanks
