Different Cadences

Some cyclists don't have cadence sensors, but want to base their training on cadence. Not a problem anymore!! This video gives you cadences ranging from 70rpm to 130rpm. If you have any ideas for future videos, feel free to send me and email at [e-mail]!
You can use this video with your own personal workouts, ore with one of mine! (list of my workouts will increase with time):

Thanks man, as a fixed gear rider, I really needed this

I was searching for a video like this, you are great

70 rpm looks decent for me. 130 rpm = hamster mode

[@brauljo]

70 rpm is ok if you're riding leisurely, but that's grinding if you're cranking out any actual effort.

[@Gadottinho]

@@brauljo how is that grinding? The "ideal" cadence is 80 to 90...

[@brauljo]

@@Gadottinho It seems you've answered your question within your question

[@Dorifto555]

I reach 140 rpm

[@ben24763]

Thanks for this! With my pedaling style right now, I think of myself as a big diesel engine--grinding massive torque at low RPM (40-60 probably up climbs) but I redline at about 90rpm and won't ever really go higher. Nevertheless, I think it might be good to practice some higher cadence to mix things up.

[@neoneherefrom5836]

That does not seem very sustainable for a long period of time or if you’re competitive

On the Street (Fixed gear) 50x17 @ 120 RPMs for around 28Mph ain’t shabby 110-120 is where I’m happiest riding, I’d prefer to be pushing a bigger gear On the street, but it’s quite hilly where I live, and plenty of traffic lights 😆 end result around 3mph

[@nomoons]

Bouncing in the saddle at higher RPM is because your saddle is too low.

[@nomoons]

thanks for the vid though, helps me find a new gear ratio without using a bike computer.

[@Gadottinho]

Yeah, his saddle seems to be a bit low, but couldn't this be just cause he isn't used to it?

[@nomoons]

@@Gadottinho sure, could be, there are general guidelines for proper knee extension, but everybody should ride however they like as long as it doesn't cause them pain. I just know that when my saddle is too low, I be bouncing and it makes me feel unsafe at higher speeds. Also I ride fixed gear, so it's more difficult to slow down when my knees are too bent and I don't use my larger leg muscles as much.

[@EKZOmorf255]

Thanks for video i looking for something like that.

[@nanaluke]

This is great, thank you

[@kurt4ble]

Can you maintain 90 rpm on a climb?

[@matrixo2933]

My sprint is 200 rpm

[@Gadottinho]

80 rpm is normal, but 90 is a bit hard already

[@RRRRapify]

70-80 is my rpm, ratio 2.94. I think I'm moving around 28kph

[@eddiejrbation5095]

XC climbs would be at 90 rpm to 100 rpm provided in efficient gear ratio. Especially for those who uses 34T - 20T - 28T on climbs on 7% to 12% gradient weew

[@imaginewagons3777]

Huh. So I'm doing a 90 without even knowing.

I got crank 50 34 and sprocket 12 28, how i can get 90rpm with crank 34? And give me speed at Km/h

[@fsmaior]

90rpm with crank 34 and sprocket 12 is going to give you around 32km/h (depending on tire width), while 34 with 28 is going to give you around 14km/h. Hope it helps you.

[@LawAbidingCitizen117]

Cadences above 90rpm only waste energy, swaying your body left and right.

[@sakke9493]

Yes, that is true if you haven't practiced whit a higher cadence but if you put some time and effort into it you can easily in my opinion and experience maintain a 120 Cadence whit out bouncing around.

[@ben24763]

Yeah this is definitely true for me, 90rpm is my redline I think! Would be nice to be able to go higher though, just because most bikes have lower gearing than I'd like.

[@Gadottinho]

@@sakke9493 above 90 isn't efficient, you waste too much energy just to move your legs, instead of putting force against the pedals

[@athleteswattana4527]

my cadences is 120rpm or above because my wheel just 20inches Chainrings44 cogs16

[@injesusname3732]

any higher cadence than 100 is inefficient. get a bigger chainring

[@injesusname3732]

@Kleiner Helfer u mad

[@sakke9493]

@@injesusname3732 Well, the thing is there is no solid data/research on optimal cadence. But in my opinion, you are better of riding 100+ cad. The reason being is that your legs will feel fresh all the time and you can easily sprint if someone tries to sneak away from the pack.

[@injesusname3732]

@@sakke9493 Depends what kind of riding you're doing. The only benefit I see with a high cadence (not necessarily over 100), is cutting through wind with slightly less resistance and maintaining up hills. You burn way more energy pushing high cadence then you would with a bigger chainring, maintaining the same speeds, with less energy waste. Depends on your physical condition. But so many times I see noobs pushing high cadences trying to get 30-40kph, while i float by at half the cadence.
