I know faster is better. Quicker recovery, less load through the knees. But how fast is too fast? What is the optimum and why? Do you aim for a constant spin or just to stay in a range? What variables influence it?

I average about 100. Dunno what the optimum is, I have knee trouble even at that.
According to the SRM live tracker, some of the TDF dudes were spinning 120RPM yesterday

They were also covering that distance today at just under twice the speed of my commute. Does that mean I only have to hit 60 rpm?

between 90-110 is comfortable for me, although I can spin like this when i need to

I tend to spin between 80 to 110 depending on the bike ( geared or SS )

Better than I thought this morning. Didn't drop below 80. Typically in the 90s. Often saw three figures and even saw 131 at one point!
