46:19 is biggest gear I generally ride.
I find it pretty hard to 'drive' the pedals at higher cadences but riding rollers has definitely increased my ability to spin.
214rpm is my max cadence on rollers (and I guess I must actually be 'driving' the pedals to this cadence as it cant come from descending since on the rollers), on the road I max out at 203rpm and that tends to be when descending.
When hitting higher cadences I really concentrate non pushing my bum into the saddle and only using my legs.

And that’s the badgers, it’s a disciple that require a bit of concentration unlike a road bike where you don’t need to concentrate to be comfortable due to coasting.
I tell you one thing, never go down the Pyrenees on a fixed wheeler, that’s another level of pains.

Speaking of such, I ride a similar ratios (49/20), however what I have notice is that I don't quite sit down properly when going at a higher speed, compare to a higher gearing that enable a relaxed cadence and thus able to relax onto the saddle and handlebar.
Do you find this to be the case?
