Okay the dead point is already dead, but according to Joe Friel (VELONEWS, Vol. 31/No. 18, October 21, 2002) :
Riding a fixed gear is another great way to improve your pedal stroke and cadence. The bike will force you to keep a constantly smooth, even pedal stroke at all cadences
Why should I spend 830 dollars on some fancy rotor cranks if for a quarter of the price I can set a secondhand bike with fixed gear as a means of improving my pedalling?
Is there any empirical evidence that RCs work? From what I read in previous threads the answer is no, only personal anecdotes.
In solving the dead point mystery are RCs any better then a simple old-fashioned fixed gear bike? Or is it just a fashionable accessory to allow wealthy Americans to use some of their cash in the quest for buying speed?
