DFP, Pistaboy has got what I think you seem to be struggling with. Namely squats etc will improve glute recruitment in squats etc when doen correctly. However their will not be a carry over to cycling for endurance cyclists, if your not recruiting your glutes do as pistaboy says and change position, work slowly under load mentally activating them etc
Even for sprint cyclists the nueral carry over form weights is very minimal, if not power/olympic lifters would be able to jump on a bike and destroy cycle sprinters.....
As a sprinter you are looking for the strength gains while being careful to do enough on bike work to get some cross over. There are quite a few world class sprinters that dont use the gym these days bar a little bit of core/upper body
