3. are the souls exactly 1300g? id be saving about <200grams if i switch, not sure if i wanna do that just yet.
The near-stop thing - the point is to lose your momentum and then hit it as hard as you can.
The high-cadence thing makes it easier to accelerate when you're already putting out an effort. The idea is that you pedal at ~90rpm normally, but be able to spin out a gear to really high cadence.
Note, these drills were taught to me by coaches - one of which has won masters nationals a few times. So I'm passing it on.
Sean's s2.0 wheels are 1330g, yea.
