Dialing it up...

Dialing it up to 400 watts not cutting it anymore? Try dialing the CADENCE up to 400 :D :

At least that's what it looks like. It must be over 200, anyhow.

I did that once. It was downhill on a friend's really old fixed gear bike when I was about 10, and definitely not intentional.

Too scared to take my feet off the pedals and if I remember right my eyes were much bigger than the guy in the video.

He won the.Sprints (I think), keirin, and kilo at worlds. 400 watts? He produces probably closer to 2,400 watts.

No seatbag?

The guy must be some type of snob.

p.s. I know it's a track bike on the velodrome, this is 41 humor at its finest.

This one is still the fastest, longest sustained, and most stable I've seen thus far. Warm up gear with short crank lengths of course. I can barely maintain 120 rpms.....:(

That is what is so impressive about François Purvis and his video; he can do that in a 100 inch gear. I know what you mean, I can't even spin half that fast.
