You wouldn't need to. A 40rpm spread at 90rpm is comparable to a 26.7rpm spread at 60rpm, namely 46.7rpm to 73.3rpm. And similarly...


90rpm->60rpm is comparable to 60rpm->40rpm, not 60rpm->30rpm.


If someone is actually effective cruising the flats at 60rpm, then using my modified ranges, sure, I don't see why it's a crazy position. Highly unusual, but not obvious-on-its-face ridiculous.
Fair for converting 60 to 40. But my personal opinion is that since this is BF, you can’t discount folks posting stuff like LDL just to rattle the cage.

Get is to argue the outlier for fun instead of writing it off as the not very useful datapoint.

Apply this same concept to run cadence and it gets a bit silly. Go try to run at 80 spm. You look like a long jumper striding to the sand pit.

I’m done taking the troll bait on this one. Mash away. But if we ever go on a run I expect no less than a half marathon worth of long jump strides to go with the 40rpm bike cadence. If they manage it, we need video as that’ll be an internet sensation.
