  • kilgore_trout hmm. i thought that being really forward on the drop and up out of the saddle was best because then you were sort of pushing back with all your weight.

    But the powerful part of the pedal stroke is the bit from 3 o'clock down to say 5 o'clock.

    Anyway, power doesn't come into spinning so much.. it's how fast and smooth you can snap you legs around.. need more fast twitch muscles..
    If it was a fscking huge gear you had to wind up though..

    Just remember to scrape the dog shit off your shoe at the bottom and push over the top,.. or something.. I dunno.. spin fscking fast without bouncing your arse.
    Pedal technique discussions are for roadies :)
