100+ cadence is crazy hard to maintain, at least it is for me.

Dose anyone else suffer from chronic low cadence? I'm like 70-80 at all times, and I never use my small ring. I'm not sure if I learned the wrong way or that's just how I am.

Never using your small ring might be an issue, or it could just be that you live somewhere flat and your gearing with the big ring is low enough that you never need anything else.

As far as the cadence though, pretty sure that everyone has a natural cadence (especially when climbing) and it's perfectly okay to stick to that as long as it's not so slow that you're constantly straining your knees to push a gear that's too heavy.

I stay around 80 and I don't consider it low, I thought low was all the casuals you see at like 60 or below.

H-how autistic is this, guys?

I'm comfortable 75-90 ish. Seated climbing I seem more comfortable at a higher cadence, on the flats I prefer slightly lower. This probably means I need to htfu but fuck you.

The only times I ever use the small ring is during winter because snow and studs makes pedaling so much harder and when on trails. On a flat area you're going to be fine with just the big ring for most situations.
