Different ways to pedal

[Johnboy]

I have enough trouble deciding which gear I should be in, let alone this.

Stretching it a bit to claim 6 ways...
Personally I wouldn't count doing it with one or other leg as 2 different ways

Oh the wonders of roller clutches!

All the best,

Power cranks. Again.

In essence yes, I think the difference maybe that you can lock it out and pedal 'normally', not sure if you can do that with power cranks. Reckon someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong. I think that also may be where they get the six pedaling actions from.

The third function helps children and teenagers grow taller apparently, wonder if it works on 59 year olds?

Still can't see me ever needing this though.

Yes, and it's me, myself, I. Beginning to wish I hadn't started this thread now!

You can lock power cranks but I'm not sure how. With the Caron thingy you do it from a switch on the handlebar.

Nah, power cranks can't be locked.
At least the couple of sets I've played with have no option to lock.

I think you can, https://www.powercranks.com/Products.html#dual, it's an extra cost option.

I've gone from knowing absolutely nothing about this to being a ruddy expert
