I finally put a cog on my SS and rode it for the better part of a month without riding my geared bike. Last week to keep up on my 200km brevet/month I took out the roadie. It was an odd feeling about the pedal hesitation at the top/bottom of each stroke. The one thing I took away from all the FG training is it does indeed cause you to pedal 100% of the time. Was my time over the course faster than normal? It was faster than many of last season's permanents. Instead of coasting down grades now I would shift to a higher gear and push the pace a bit more.
