First, go take a look: none of the recent hour records were done at 95-100 rpm. Fail. Not a single one. In case you don't know (and I assume you don't since this was so hilariously wrong) of the recent hour record holders, only Obree was below 100 rpm and even he wasn't in that range. You have to go back to Oscar Egg to find a record holder in your range and that was in 1912. In case you don't know (and judging from what you've written, I can assume you don't) this is 2010 so that's almost a century.

Second, as far as what the cadence was for hour record attempts is a red herring for new road riders. You can point to their cadence but I can point to their crank torque. As everyone but you now knows, hour records have been set at cadences from 90ish on up. They were also set at average pedal force in excess of 200N. Every single one of them. The average pedal force of hour record attempts is exactly as relevant as their average cadence is to new road riders.

Try again.

[Edit:] BTW, are you also posting under the name "desuism?" Cuz you're both as embarrassingly wrong.
you attempt at humor & sarcasm is pathetic. but anyways

may i present exhibit A: http://www.wolfgang-menn.de/hourrec.htm. in case you are too lazy to go to it, here's screenshot. cadence is the right most column
