very good


I want to reach 100 on the flat (not like him)

mrpvt - do you have a 59t or more ring in your garage?
robh - do you think I can keep 150rpm for one minute?

George's van with the boot open

come on let's do it!

Yes, yes I wanna be there.

Apparently Shanaze Read can do 200rpm on the rollers for a whole minute in perfect control.

You got to practice, but I reckon you can do it, Sylv.

M23 would be a safer bet I reckon... the M25 is never that quiet...

Michelle you can sit at the back of the van and shout "faster" or "slower" to George :D And then try take a lactate sample :lol:

I actually started my high cadence exercises yesterday! Only went to 120 tho

I think you could Slyv.

I think I start to bounce on the saddle round the 160rpm mark.

Sylv,

I'm sure you could do 150rpm for 1 min, for a while I was doing high rpm training but decided to put off till later in the year. Anyway in a relatively short time I got above 200rpm for a second a few times and then 150rpm seems ok. Given your small gears on your single speed MTB you should be able to do it.

I've got a 62 ring on the tandem :wink: but George's van doesn't go that fast :roll:

With an 11 sprocket, 100kph is only 138RPM :wink:

Tony Doyle once did a "medium gear" 25 i.e.limit of 72" (48*18) in 56 minutes, averaging around 120RPM.

On the rollers, each pedal rev covers 8.38m so to cover 500m (from a standing start) requires 59.6 revs, and a "good" time of 20 seconds = an average of 178.8rpm

IAgree on rpm Paul :)
Wonder if the 62t ring would clear the chainstay without fiddling chainline?
Agree M road is not best idea, prob best to keep it "legal"
But I don't know a fast safe stretch of A road nearby

I've posted this before (but it's always good to see) here's Dave "legs" Le Grys British and Commonwealth speed record of 110mph

No drafting, just a rocket up your bum and 150mph

Looking forward to this...
