I did my en vogue SST on 84.5" rather than 78.9" last night. Wanted to keep output levels the same, and what data I have (time, basically) shows that I did so; therefore I was stressing the force production side of the power equation more than the cadence side i.e. working on a weakness.
It meant an average cadence of 90rpm, and it felt pretty horrible. That was the intention, but despite milder temps, I still had to be mindful of my knees when grinding into 22mph gusts / the steady 12mph WSW / getting away from lights and junctions.
Just thought I'd give some feedback, seeing as I was riding The Stonehedge Ratio.
