Tried the PC's for the first time - only about 15 minutes (on a CT). Did feel pretty weird and different. Main thing I noticed was that it was hard to coordinate timing and hard to keep left and right leg synched. I could only pedal for about 30-60 seconds and then I'd have to take a break to rest/re-coordinate. Also noted the cranks "clunking" over the top of the pedal stroke - I assume due to the dead spot/my lack of ability to pedal in circles. I assume both of these 2 things is normal.....
Is 2-3 weeks about right if you use them multiple x/day and daily to get the coordination down so they don't feel so weird?
Is it really important to try as hard as possible to keep your legs synched?
I've heard recommendations to 1) stretch your hip flexors after use and 2) make sure you don't flare your knees out during use. Any other keys as you start using them?
How long till I can cruise easy for 30-60 minutes on a CT without focusing on my PC's the whole time?
How much do those things weigh and how much for typical cranks?
Thanks - I'll try to keep you posted on how they work out.....
