What is your top r.p.m. on a trainer?

I do my Fast Pedal efforts under identical conditions, resistance, gear, time of week and after a one hour one leg pedaling workout routine. Pretty well controlled so comparisons are valid. With my...

JBerg- since you also do your spin workouts on rollers I was wondering if you experience the same phenomenon: when ramping up to do a max rpm effort, I have noticed that somewhere around 140-150 rpm's...

Got to 160 something last week on a stationary. I say 160 something because my vision was blurry with sweat running down into my eyes. Now, if I were "B", I would go on about how it ran into my mouth...
