Pedal Stroke Analysis – Does Your Pedalling Style Change With Gradient? | GCN Does Science

Garmin Vector pedals let you really drill down into the fine details of your pedal stroke. Can this analysis help you to ride faster? Click here to subscribe to GCN: http://gcn.eu/SubscribeToGCN We love analysing our power data to see how we're doing and how we can get better. For years, it's been thought that a smooth pedal stroke is better. We think that (along with many more scientific studies) we've shown that isn't the case, but your pedalling style is still an area well worth analysing. Step forward Garmin. Garmin's Vector pedals allow you to look at where you put the power down during your pedal stroke amongst other really interesting metrics. This video has our take on pedal stroke analysis.
