Guest Jim Daly Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'd suggest that you just observe your natural cadences in different circumstances for a few rides and then try the opposite end from a median of 90. That is, if you usually turn at about 70-75, concentrate on spinning well above 100 until it becomes natural and fluid. If you are already spinning freely, do spells of low cadence high force pedalling. Personally, I'm a fan of fixed gear riding which forces extreme cadences up hill and down dale.

Guest EPCC Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks will try over 100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mcskimming Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 touble with riding fixed imho is that you are in the wrong gear 95% of the ride. if you are looking to increase your cadence either use your clubs rollers or purrchase some of your own and fly those cranks round. do it regularly and you'll find after a while you will be spinning faster. can opener and worms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hmmm I had a problem with my cadence. Wasn't spinning quick enough. Got myself a fixed, 34 on the front 27 on the rear. Problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
