Then MAYBE it could happen I suppose.
But then again, I don't really have any of these things...I'm 200lbs w/ 48/17 gears and barely average leg strength
I do it all the time.
1) I'm 250 lbs
2) 51/19 = 70.5 gear inches
3) Got super human legs. It's hard to do when I'm out of "riding fixed gear" shape.
4) Clipless (but I can do it in toe clips, too)
Also... I can do it ambi (on both sides)
