I'm hitting 18's over 500m on a 47x15 gear; tell me what the cadence is for that. Yes, and please post the math.

According to the segement in the video you referenced; it took you 21.575 seconds to cover 500 meters. In an earlier segment we cannot see your finishing time but I really doubt it was 18 seconds. You just backed the math out with your calculators to give you the number you wanted. Which would be 100 km/h, 18 seconds to cover 500 meters which gives a cadence of 250 rpm. Put your pants out before they catch my couch on fire.

Now back to the segment you referenced; where you stated you were at or over 250 rpm for "20-30" seconds. Here in reality, you finished the 500 meters in 21.575 seconds.

That's 83.43 km/h.

Given a gearing of 47/15 with 23c tires your average cadence would be 211.645 rpm.

It's hard to tell but it looks like you topped out at 90ish km/h. You just didn't have enough of a lead on the other rider who never topped 85 km/h for us to believe you hit 100 km/h.

Anyone who's interested in the math can find a nice summary here:http://www.tariksaleh.com/bike/geartospeed.pdf

Look up the results? It's a roller race, what results? :lol::lol::lol:

Did you get UCI points for your sweet performance? :lol::lol::lol:

C'mon bro.

I make a point of not responding to them.

Gets in their head, yo.
