  • I thought I could only push big gears and was on 53/18 daily then found out I could get used to spinning and now I'm around 65GI.

    pretty much anyone can spin if they can be bothered.

    Well, I'm not far off that now and am already having to spin.

    N.B. What's the general consensus on cadence RPM thresholds for spinning?

  • When I'm home I'll have a look at my numbers, since starting to run lowers gear I've definitely gotten faster.

    I was moving 49/18 and higher speed and obviously higher cadence than I was on 53/18. And now when I get onto a bigger gear, after a mile or so of getting used to it I'm even faster again, it's been pretty useful.

    I'm not having problems maintaining 20mph on 49/20 and also ok getting to 25mph for a little while. This is obviously personal and hopefully I'll get better.

    Do you ride with brake/s? If I did I'd probably ride a slightly bigger gear and just go everywhere slightly faster.
