To make climbs more pleasant, and allow you to get up and over them faster, ex-professional cyclist Matt Stephens presents 6 mistakes that you need to avoid
In no particular order they are as follows:
1. Don't go into the red! Pace yourself, don't go flat out at the bottom.
2. Under gearing, spin to win is all well and good, but spinning at a very high cadence is simply not efficient.
3. Over gearing. You may damage your knees, and simply you are not mechanically efficient when grinding a big gear. Plus, you run the risk of actually coming to a standstill if the gradient is severe enough!
4. Shifting under load. Make sure you change gear at the right time, a poorly timed shift can result in a jammed chain due to the torque involved.
5. Climbing on the tops. Don't climb out of the saddle on the tops of the handlebars, it is very twitchy and you don't have as much control.
6. Eating. Avoid stuffing lots of energy food into your mouth on a climb. You will be unable to take in enough oxygen as the food is blocking it's passage.
Those are just some mistakes to avoid!

Sounds good. Let's summarize. 1. Don't blow, and end up slow 2. Go too low, you'll only end up slow 3. Feel the burn, but let those pedals turn 4. Shift smooth, don't loose your groove 5. Don't climb on the tops, it's better on the drops (or hoods) 6. Give yourself time to chew, that way you won't hurl or spew Got it.

I have 2 to add, wonder what everyone thinks of them... 1. Don't breath out on the same leg. When you breath out, you naturally tend to put a bit more force on that down stroke. Might not seem like a lot but if you don't this 100x on the same leg, you'll start to wear out that leg. Trying switching between legs every 5th or 6th breath. Plus, it gives you something to concentrated on other than the burn. 2. Alternate between standing and sitting. Surprised this one wasn't listed. Each position uses somewhat different motions and muscle groups, so you can give your quads a bit of a rest by standing, give your glutes a bit of a rest by sitting.

One thing that I employ especially on long climbs (I have some that I do that are in excess of 7 miles) is to alternate between standing and sitting with most of the time spent on the saddle. This gives muscles that are screaming a chance to recover just a little and it helps me keep going.

After seeing your video about hand placements, I experimented and found that climbing on the hoods seemed a lot "lighter" and faster than on the tops. Rather than simply being a matter of "control," I think it may be more about musculature, like how a lower cadence can be better for one person, while a higher cadence may be better for someone else, in the same situation, depending on power and muscular endurance. Hope to hear/read your opinion

I feel your pain at 85-90kg so 100+... ouch. So for us, it's... go solo ha ha. That way we don't get dropped :) We just suffer through it. For some reason I really enjoy the pain of climbs while of course not being so good at it. Well except for steep parts. Those 12-15-18+% slopes, even if short, kill us heavier riders. While with our power we can actually be good in 5-8% sections even if they are very long.
@MVProfits
@MVProfits 7 жыл бұрын
Oh and for us heavier riders, 50/34 at the front and 11-32 or 11-34 in the back sure helps for the really steep parts. In MTB there are 10-42 cassettes but I think for single ring at the front. Imagine a 50/34 with a 10-42! More power with 50+10 than 53+11 for sprints and descents! And of course even climbing the Alps becomes doable! One can dream....

Once (this wasn't my fault, but still), I was coming to a very steep climb, like, 15%, which is really hard for me, and I have 3 chainrings. I was on the middle, and before I got to the climb, it refused to shift to the small one, so I continued pushing for a bit, but then just stopped and literally couldn't move no matter what! Scary, but hilarious for who was watching.

5: Climbing on the tops (on the handlebars): I had a fall doing this, while climbing uphill, and initially wasn't sure why I fell. I am 100kgs, so the fall hurt, but being just an amateur in cycling technique, I initially assumed bike failure rather than rider error. I was attacking a medium hill and wanted to maintain a speed to the top. I was fighting to preserve 15mph as I was close to the top, but my cadence was falling. To generate the power, I was standing, and to preserve balance, was transferring weight to the handlebars. Then it is as though the chain slipped, there was no resistance in the pedal as I was thrusting down, I lost my balance, and fell. The chain however, did not slip. I believe that by leaning on the handlebars, there was a transfer of my weight toward the front wheel, hence less on the rear. With the power I was trying to apply, the rear wheel simply lost traction and spun. When you expect resistance in the pedal, and there is suddenly none right when you are pushing down on it, and standing, you're gonna fall. So I support tip number 5, but wish also to stress how important a tip it actually is.

Coming to a stop on an incline and not planning to land on uphill foot. If you land on the downhill foot you will lose your balance and crash hard with the bike coming on top of you. I managed to do this on a fully loaded tour bike and if I were not wearing a helmet would have cracked my head open because the load of the bike made the whole event extremely dangerous for me and anyone around me including oncoming cars. I landed with my head whiplashing towards the pavement and skidded downhill. Plan ahead and if you need to stop on an upward incline by always angle your bike a little so you end up landing on the uphill foot/side of your bike. It can feel counterintuitive but I learned my lesson the hard way.

I love climbing on the top because it gives me the room to breathe well, but I also use the hoods in long climbs too. I don’t go full Pantani, I’m too heavy to do that.

I CLIMB ON THE TOPS, I find it easier and I have more control than on the hoods or drops especially when it's raining

Please GCN, could you let us know the locations of your videos in future? A quick line in the notes is fine ; - )
