Hey everyone....question about cadence, what range does everyone spin in? I've been told anywhere from 80 rpm to 95 rpm. What is considered optimum? I know this varies on types of bikes, gearing and terrain, but for training purposes what range would a person use for just regular touring - not race training? Do you try to keep tyour level of cadence up for the whole ride, or just portions?

I was told last year to spin faster, that it would make riding much easier than when trying to push a larger gear.

When riding do most of you set the bike computer to watch rpm's or distance?

Thanks for any input!
