I was thinking the same thing, maybe gearing is kinda tough and i should get a 46 in the front and perfect my spinning.
@carleton Im poor and I ride my bike everywhere I go. Super efficient. What can you tell me about pedal strokes? I know there is supposed to be a dead spot near the tops and bottoms. Its difficult to kill that dead spot.(hahaha)
I took a spinning class and let me say that killed me. does that say anything?
what kind of bikes do you guys have?
I can tell you lots about pedal strokes. More than I'm willing to type online. If you are serious about progressing, consider clipless road pedals. Also, consider getting a proper bike fitting either by a friend or by a shop.
Spin classes are pretty much high intensity interval training. It will wear out almost anyone at first. I assume you stopped attending before you adapted
I have a custom track bike and a Specialized road bike.
