Hi,

And FWIW whilst the powerful heavy types tend to like pounding along
at lower cadences the skinnier can't manage at the same speed, "mashing",
there is a lot to be said for mixing it up and giving your knees a rest half of
the time by "spinning", higher cadence pedalling in a lower gear than normal.

Heavy powerful types who can spin with power, can go like a rocket,
not for that long mind, but nice to have that burst of real speed.

rgds, sreten.
