Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Leg length especially short should not impact cadence.

Heart rate training relies on making sure you have the right zones so knowing your max and rhr then using something like Karvonnen formula to set the zones.

Rather than HR maybe just do some cadence drills.

Sorry Frag - if you want to improve it is worth investing the time in cadence

A question if I may since we are talking about bike maintenance and stuff.

I am in the market for a power meter and was thinking about a crank based one maybe 4iiii or Stages, what I'm not sure about is if my bike would be compatible with them, my current setup is a Praxis Alba, the bike is a Specialize allez elite, I've tried searching but couldn't find anything useful.

recommendations welcomed :)

Any recommendations Gobi? I seriously struggle at anything above 90/95 rpm. I also can’t get the ‘go into a lower gear and spin’ on hills as most of the time I’m already in a low gear and I ain’t going fast enough to spin
