It's a) and b). a) is as I explained above,
you'd be conteracting the ratcheting of the
freehub a ltlle bit but likely too small to
even measure.

b) is the lion's share. Like a car's idling
enigine uses easily 5-10% of it's normal fuel
per hour, your legs will not be cranking free
of any losses. IOW, it makes absolutely no
sense to do this.


Again, I know it doesn't make sense to do in
terms of cycling. Everyone understands that,
even a 5 year old.

I understand about the "conteracting the
ratcheting of the freehub" but the question
remains, does it increase the speed, albeit
-infinitely small, the *normal* way?
