One thing that really improved my spin is PowerCranks. I have been using them regularly for about 3 years, since a serious crash left me partially paralyzed on my right side.
I know they are very expensive, and they are a lot of work to use, but the results I've had with them have amazed my neurologist. At first, I couldn't even bring my right leg up in a full circle, and now I have a very nominal dead spot at the top of the stroke. There are many pro cyclists that swear by the PowerCranks.
This time of year I keep them on my windtrainer-bound bike, and use my standard-cranked bikes on the road, but I feel that the 3-4 times a week of windtraining with the PowerCranks truly helps improve my iregular cadence enough that none of my regular cycling friends even notice I have a problem.
I have no commercial interests in PowerCranks, I'm just a guy who found a good solution that could be useful for anyone looking to improve their spin.
