if Ullrich spins at 80 and Lance at 100 does that mean one of them is doing it wrong ? or does that mean that they have different genetics ?
with my genetics i need to spin slow. i am trying to work on getting the cadence up a bit but it naturally tends towards 50 or so. i will keep working on that but i have to ultimately listen to my body, not some numbers taken from other people.
if i spin faster i won't be able to put down more power - in fact i will put down less - the only thing that i might achieve this way is my legs might get smaller so i might get lighter and this way faster. however i don't want smaller legs.
