The limitation of my platforms is slipping at high cadence. I lose grip when I try to pump it up above 85 rpm or so for anything over a couple of minutes. I tend to go btw 65 and 75. I know that's not optimal, but I just can't get going for long in a nice cadence above that. I brought it up in case others have different experience--do you regularly crank at higher rpm with platforms? Any secrets to share?
Just wondering, are you using the platform pedals that were stock on your Breezer?
