Ok. I suppose so. But I would assume anaerobically stronger leg muscles would make a difference but as Palooka pointed out this only applys for the beginning when the muscles are in an anaerobic state.

Of course that makes more sense. Drop the gear and work with a lower cadence to increase strength. I just assumed by creating external resistance (via weight for example) it would make a difference.

Thank you for clarifying.

Cheers.
