    It may be most efficient, but it's very difficult to accelerate from 60 rpm pushing a big gear on a climb, compared to the guy spinning at 100 in a smaller gear (ask Jan Ulrich about this :wink: )
    Yes, it takes ages to stop for a blood transfusion.... or was it an injection.... or was it a line of coke.... or was it damnable lies?
    Caffeine and sugar by IV, I'm sure.

    Accelerating on a climb is never a proposition that has entered my universe.

    On the flat I do my best to stick at 100rpm. I prefer to go for a target cadence rather than speed, seems more achievable.

    Cadence does tail off as the gradient increases and on some hills I am just doing what I can to keep going! Top cadence on the fixed is 167rpm :) and no bouncing!
