Pedal cadence mountain bike? |
what is an easy way to count my pedal cadence without a speedometre? Counting pedal cadence can be done with just a simple wrist watch with a second hand. Check your watch, count your pedal strokes for 15 seconds, multiply by four. The result is your RPM. Get a watch with a second hand (or a digital) and count your rotations for 30 seconds (and multiply by 2 for your RPMs). This is tricky though because your cadence will change a little every minute; especially if you're off road. If you're serious about wanting to know your pedal cadence, go buy yourself a cycle-computer from your local bike store. It'll be far more accurate than any other method out there. It's better not to try unless you are on a smooth, straight road. Between keeping track of the seconds and counting, you are liable to fall off the bike. Buy a computer that does it for you...in my experience, unless you are a pro, you really don't need that information anyways. During off road, your cadence will vary, a lot! Well, counting by watch during 15 seconds is good if you're in a long, flat road, but other than that, you'll have sometimes go real fast, slow, whatever. Good luck! |
