Greg LeMond told me I should ride Powercranks. His words “if I had used these when I was racing I would have won a lot more time trials in my career” caught me by surprise but certainly made me listen. I think that was December of 1999 and it would be almost another year before I actually tried them, starting what has been a love/hate relationship ever since.

What's the deal with these things called power cranks? I'm not talking about power meters, but I was surfing around the web and saw these weird things on www.powercranks.com They claim to increase avg. speed by 2-3 mph in 6-9 months. It's a long time, but definitely could be worth it (other than the fact that they cost a fortune). Are these things for real or is it just placebo?
