Wasn't sure where to post this. I've been training around 80% on fixed gear lately hoping to build strength/power as well as cutting weight for summer. Had heard before that training fixed was beneficial, read various articles on the subject but came accross this where it's claimed training fixed isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Any thoughts? I do enjoy riding fixed on my commute, apart from the effort on the hills I generally find it easier to keep cadence up on the fixed.
