I’m sure this varies depending on the rider but is there a generally agreed upon cadence range for time trialing? I would guess this would be very different from a tri cadence since we have to run afterwards but I’m curious about this.
lance is up in the 100s
ullrich was down in like the 80s?
and they were both good
so, no agreement!
same thing in triathlon =)
Is there a generally agreed upon cadence range for time trialing?
No.
Two of the best time trialists in the last 10 years were on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Ullrich & Armstrong.
I am not an expert at either, but I think the cadence in TT is slightly higher… probably 110 for the guys who are really good at TT.
The for/aft/seattube angle in the tri bike is the primary means for conserving the legs for the run; rather than a chosen cadence.
It really depends on the rider.
Bigger, stronger guys often like to go with lower cadences and huge gears, while smaller and thinner guys tend to prefer smaller gears and higher cadences. (at least, that’s what I’ve noticed).
So the answer is: anywhere between 80 and 110 cadence. 
That’s about the tenth incorrect “fact” you’ve posted today. Do you know anything?
You need to get laid tonight.
Call me and I’ll loan you some $$.

Uh… no. One guy who is really good at TT’s rides near 110. Lots and lots of good TT’ers ride below 100.
I’ve found that as I get better at TT’ing my cadence has dropped. Everybody is different.
No need, your mother’s coming over later

So you know at least one guy who is good who rides near 110?
I have seen one (Lance) and I have a friend who is a Pro and he rides about 106 for TT.

Ooh, that was almost good… but now you’re getting off topic.

from one of the fastest TTs ever…hardly 110…heck, not even 100.
As many have said, it’s all over the map from the low 90s to the high 100s.

Now that is an undisputed fact (although I can’t see the video right now).
Mr. Ben may take a lesson in someone’s self-proclaimed “non-expert opinion” compared to such… And perhaps raise up off dease N-U-T-S.
Back to the topic: Anyone know the cadence on THE FASTEST TT in 40k?
There are listings of the world record 1 H rides available on the net; distance, speed, gearing and cadense (since it’s on fixed gearing, the cadence can be calculated.
Almost all used cadence between 100 and 105, the rest 90-100.

Good man.
Here are some numbers:
Boardman…105
Rominger…102.2
Indurain…100.9
Obree…?
Moser…103.1
MERCKX…103.9…the so called big gear masher.
Ritter…105.4
Bracke…106.3
ANQUETIL…2nd time 92.7…the only lowish cadence man
Riviere…104.7
Anquetil…1st time…104!
Coppi…103.3
Almost all used cadence between 100 and 105, the rest 90-100.
Right, but all of them used a crank torque greater than 38 Nm. You saying we should all TT at > 38 Nm?
Obree
52x12 for 51.596km
52x12 is 9m25 wich gives a cadence just below 93.
Perhaps the better, more meaningful question I should have asked is how one would determine their individual optimal cadence for TT and/or Tri. Probably a more relevant question at least.
