[quote author=pat5319 link=board=19;threadid=1049;start=0#msg9248 date=1011213595]<br />On Spinnning<br />"Bouncing" when spinnnig fast is often a symptom of unequal leg length or not enough saddle height- measure legs,shim shoes under cleat or raise your saddle a couple of millimeters! If you're new to spinning keep working on it.<br /><br />To smooth your stroke and make your muscles more efficient spin at maximum rpm for (obviuosly) short periods, working on increasing your "max". Many elite and national teams REQUIRE thier riders to be ABLE to hit over 300 rpm!! At the beginning of every season, I personally make sure I can spin At LEAST 160 rpm on the road and 200 rpm on the ergometer (trainer), I can't do it for more than a few seconds but it DOES improve my form.<br /><br />Ride to Spin and Grin<br />Pat<br /> <br />[/quote]<br /><br />ALMOST unbelievable 300 rpm !!!!!!!<br />With the gear 39/20 you can theoretically achieve: 75 km/h and<br />with 52/13 (if u can move that one for 300 rpm): 153 km/h<br />Are there people who really can do 300 rpm ???<br />Thank you<br />
