Cadence and speed calculation
Postby rustychisel » Tue Oct 05, 2010 10:29 am
Fixed gear, 48x18 on 700c wheels, speed attained was 56.7kmh.
Can anyone tell me what cadence that equates to?

56,700 metres/hour = 945 m/minute
945/5.6 = 169 rpm.

I was over 55kmh for quite some time, maybe 250m, going down the hill north from the Morialta Falls main gates past the Black Hill Conservation Park, on the fixed, of course, Saturday morning.
