No, I never got more than an opion of a response so I stopped.

I posted articles about optimal cadence, and that everyone has an optimal cadence, and science shows that it? So in theory, having the ability to change gears and stay in your optimal cadence for longer periods of time than staying in one gear is more beneficial....

Don't make me ask Dylan to squash this arguement

What is SS is my optimal cadence?

Food for thought Dave. There have been cases where what we assumed to be facts in science have since been proven otherwise.

Just hold everything with a lite grip and freedom is yours.

So what your saying is that despite @Pearl ’s not really scientifically supported scientific articles may be worthless and SS may be faster as scientific studies on gears vs ss may be null and void? I knew it ! ?

Yes!

I mean isn’t science about searching for the truth? I don’t think you can measure to 100 in science- call me out scientist if I’m wrong.

Is the power source of each bike 100% identical? Without a margin of error?

What if I just chose to not believe this Dylan guy even if he’s a pro??

true story alert

back in my crotch rocket, knee dragger days, a handful of us use to head out on Saturday mornings for the back twisty roads to see who had bigger balls.


after a rip, we were at the local eatery talking shit and gearing became a debate... we had one friend that insisted by putting a larger sprocket his bike would be faster. We tried to explain how it would feel much faster accelerating but he would top out at a slower top speed when he hit the rev limiter in too gear. No matter how many different ways we explained it, he just wasn’t hearing it.

That said, he would keep up really well accelerating out of corners but when the road opened up and straightened out and his bike topped out at 155mph, the rest of us watched his dot get smaller and smaller in our mirrors as we pulled top speed in the 170s / 180s...

Then he would make up all kinds of excuses...

Bottom line - no matter how much logic and science you throw at it, some people refuse to accept it.

Mr Taylor - you sir are that guy here.

Science may say Dave has the warrior gene. ?

Where with twisty roads were you hitting 180? The flats of NJ 29?
