.... like a crankset on a single speed.... Which I had a whole 'nother discussion on earlier this year!!
Dirt Road Race - Advise and Condescend
AND it's about the SteamRoller that got repaired! .... just keeping things relevant.
~ welp, no debate there....
After 50 years of pedaling (the training wheels came off when I was 6, so I'll pick that at the start date of pedaling), I can't imagine I'll change much. Those cadence sensors were a boon to learnin' me how to spin. Having that and access to winter roller riding 'back in the day' (circa 1992ish). Definitely targeting 90rpm + a few rotations improved on my riding. And none of the frames cracked I used back then broke around the BB (Schwinn PDG2 lugged in Japan; lugged Bianchi road bike something or other; Jamis Dakota trail bike; John Cherry's Cherry Bomb road bike). I was also 15 to 20lbs lighter! (liter? no, that's a volume unit...)
And I was clipped in and pedaling most of the rides. Not jumping on and off for coffee stops and hike a bike and whatever other excuse i can come up with to make rides more interesting.
So I'll summarize ~ I've convinced myself it was bad-form on my part having 200lbs.... ok, 205lbs... hop on a pedal and cantilevering the NDS of the bike.
cheers! and ride safely
IDK I am at 215 and have been as high as 285 and have always, done the cowboy foot on the left pedal (cliped in for the most part) and swing the right leg over and have never had an issue with bb cracks. Could be luck or less repetition
