...what gear do you run the bike in? Road bike, 11 speed cassette, 52/34 up front. I've only used rollers before and have fallen off several time now while trying to do the sufferfest videos in preparation for Paris Roubaix this year. I've not used them yet, but they have resistance settings from 1-10. My thinking was to run the gears in the middle in the middle of the block to enable a straighter chainlink, any thoughts?
I'm using an old 3 X 9. It don't make much difference really. On my old magnetic trainer you just set the resistance then used gears to up the power while I watched sufferfest. Worked fine. Now using a smart trainer. It ups the power for me. Still need to use gears.
I'd add that sufferfest don't use level one. Ten rarely and mostly for the ten second sprint for the win. Great videos I enjoy using them.
Most important is to get your cadence up and then add power.
Thanks fella 🙂
