I have in the past ridden with 82", and I look forward to seeing how much improvement I have made, when I go back to 82".

Of course, I assume I have improved.

The lead mechanic at a local bike shop says he can spin at 160rpm.

I don't question his truthfullness, but does this seem possible or probable?

Who has a high spin rate they can verify by computer?

How high?
