after reading this thread I have been more consciously monitoring cadence and another screen shows average cadence. I always considered myself a higher cadence rider but was very surprised to see an average of 65 which involved 2000’ climbing some at 15-16%. On flats - I was usually in the 70s but on 1% downhill grades about 85. I tried to push my cadence up by downshifting when I noticed being in the 60s but what came to mind is we pedal at a rate which feel comfortable and the 70s might be it on the flats at 18 MPH. Lots of other factors influencing cadence but for me, my sweet spot is more in the 70s.
