theDave...I came upon this wack methodology during my Fixt commupance.
Can you imagine an old Bio-Pace chainring from the early 80's ? Painful, but try
I tilt my feet at about a 47 degree angle and spin in ovals. The power/downstroke starting
at 2 o'clock sort of 'pulling all the way to the 7'oclock are where the opposite foot picks
up again with a down stroke. After a while it becomes very mechanical and smooth.
Did that make any sense at all ?
Using the circular/ oval method with pinned BMX pedals I can flat out haul on a bike that
gets laffed at about twice a week
