I have been reading all the posts about power cranks and looking at the power cranks web site and am looking for some advice/help - my background is average Age Grouper planning a couple of 1/2 IM this year and looking to do my first IM next year
Before shelling out $$$ I have the following questions - the answers may be obvious and I may have missed something but......
Any/all comments greatly appreciated.
Before shelling out $$$ I have the following questions - the answers may be obvious and I may have missed something but......
- As well as train do people race with pc or do the swap back to normal cranks for racing - at present I only have one bike so I cannot set one up with pcs and use another for racing .......(Will have trouble justifying pc plus new bike)
- If pcs are so difficult at the beginning did people lose aerobic fitness when they started using them. If I am currently riding 2hrs plus on my CT and can only manage much shorter rides with pcs I would expect to lose aerobic fitness - what did people do to minimise this loss.
- The pc web site recommends that you ride exclusivley with pcs - what do others think ? Is this an "in an ideal world" statement rather than accepting that some of us have to compromise..
Any/all comments greatly appreciated.
