Bouncing at high cadences

It's not rare that an experienced cyclist will turn up at Rollapaluza and tell us how high (too high) to set up the saddle , we've even had tape measures, we'll politely explain our tips are based on over 10,000 racers, some will persist...."OK, but you won't be very fast"....and they never are!

I wasn't very fast.....but I don't think it was due to saddle height. I could still spin, without bouncing, up to almost 200rpm though.

In the real world, I can spin up to 36mph without any bouncing (that's about 175 rpm at my current gear ratio.)

rubbish... it's all about the souplesse.

A correctly set up bike and souplesse - which riding fixed should help with - are the key.
