only 250 watts? I thought they raised your power by 40%?
what gives?
I dont think that PCs and RCs are necessarily enemies
I agree. I have both, and though I have very limited time on the RCs so far, the PCs would definitely benefit an RC user. Pedaling “PC style” on RCs works better than just mashing up and dpwn as per both SpinScan and power output.
By the way, the RCs are not just “bolt-on horsepower”. There is definitely an adaptation period with these things (which Gary very accurately describes on his web site). My first ride on the RCs was 6.5 hours, and my legs were not happy campers for awhile after that. The trick is going to be finding the right balance between the two in training.
