From personal experience it feels as if I can't pedal powerfully on a cheap city bike but I don't have any power data to prove that in any way. | |

That must be why you see high-level pro riders abandoning their aggressive riding positions and sitting upright for long, hard climbs. Translation: bollocks. | |
