  1. I wan't to do some calcs for a project but need some data, could any of you
    who know your average sustainable cadence post them here for me? If you
    know your speed and gearing at that cadence that would also be super.

    Thanks

    Wotcher Sniper, fancy meeting you in here!

    I try to keep mine between 100 and 115 in all gears, though /seriously/
    steep hills will drag it down into the 60s in bottom gear. That's in a 13"
    gear - 24 front, 34 rear, 406 drive wheel - at about 3 km/h. Trikes are a
    Good Thing from this point of view...

    Hello Legs,

    That's great info, I sent of an email to Optima about the gearing on the
    Baron. They use a PG970_sram 11-21 with a 39/52 chain set but also said
    they could supply up to a 75 tooth chainwheel! Your cadence pretty much
    matches my own so thats a help, I have never been into sport cycling in the
    past so this is a new ballgame, before I got there sooner or later, now I
    need to set goals and achieve them.

    Thanks
