I concentrate on staying on top of the pedals and maintain as smooth a pedal stroke as I can maintain. I found it harder to maintain a cadence faster than 70-75 as the bike starts to go forward/backwards on the rollers. I intend to be able to increase the cadence as the winter moves on and maybe to the point of calling it a sprint.
The all out sprinting potential of the Emotion Roller is what sold me on them. I looked up the Travel trac rollers and what a good deal they are and what a good deal you got. I saw your race win photos on the Spring Dreams thread, great win and good photo, looks like you lwere having fun!
