I too have felt my track bike is almost as fast as my road bike. Downhill it's a real liability, but uphill, occasionally the track bike is faster. Started fixed gear riding when I was 60! 30mph at 150rpm with a 70 inch gear downhill is my fastest speed on it. 52x20.
150rpm 💀 Awesome! Yeah I can’t really go much faster than 30mph (comfortably) downhill.. I still have this fear that I’m going to spin myself out or cramp up at such a high cadence for so long.. hence the front brake 😹
The results are as I thought they would be - a minute is a lot to a racer, but to a regular rider how your bike feels, and makes you feel is important - that's why I like to race myself on my bike, and not get into personal gripes with other riders, or compare myself to how fast people are going on youtube. I'm here for the natural drugs my brain makes :D No substitute for feeling great in a natural way. Cute cat btw ;) !
