weird that you can hit higher cadences with no hands (hanging on to something?) than with hands on the bars.

Nope, not holding on to anything. I'm not being a knob and boasting about my relatively useless prowess of being able to spin out no hands.
One of the coaches I've had at Derby SQT said that it's quite natural to be able to hit higher rpm's no hands. I'm sure there's a reason, Xavier might have a scientific explanation.

I can hit 150-160 on the rollers no hands for short spells but can get up there with the hands on the bars. It just gets too choppy.
I maxed at 140rpm on the track a couple of weeks ago but didn't notice any bounce at all.
