SPC117 - Pedal Forces, Vibration and Performance

Published: Oct. 23, 2014, 4 a.m.

b'This episode looks at optimising the mechanical forces on the pedals in different situations to produce a higher power output. In every cycling environment there are opposing forces that change the force on the pedals compared to the input. The problem with pedalling is that it is impossible to have an effective force throughout the entire cycle. Understanding these forces better will help you make adjustments on the fly.'
