Spinning. I am a roadie who loves to crunch the big gears and hates to spin (90+ rpm).

Quite simply, pushing the big gears is just so much more comfortable and seems easier than anything else. Problem is that everyone else (including scientists) and especially my coach, believes spinning to be more energy efficient and therefore better for you. I'm doing what my coach says because he's my coach and I trust him. Its just that spinning doesn't feel comfortable and I think its going to take a fair bit of getting used to.

Does anyone else have this problem? You naturally love the big gears but are pressured to spin? Is it possible that some people are better with the big gears and others with spinning? This one has got me confused.
