In this episode of Tip It In Tuesday I speak with Australian professional cyclist for Ag2R-Citroen, Tour de France and Giro d'Italia stage winner, Ben O'Connor, on how to improve your on-bike descending.
We give tips from the simple and straightforward to more complex and in-depth techniques to help your cycling improve when the road heads downhill...

Good advice guys . I would add this : focus on the line you want to take rather than on any obstacle or rough surface you want to avoid , if you focus on that pothole in your path and not on the road around it you're far more likely to hit it .

Exactly, "Target Fixation" is the foe, it has caused MANY a crash or near misses. Always, always focus on the exist of the corner, even when it is blind. Vision on Corner entry, then eyes quickly seek the apex, then the exit. In a matter of FRACTIONS of a second. Otherwise it's too late. The best tutorials will be from Moto roadracing.

I always try to descend the same road I ascended. That way I can pre-spot my descent for things like rocks on the road, sand, roadkill, branches, and blind turns. This past week I went up Angeles Crest Highway, near Los Angeles, and noticed all the rocks and debris were washed to the ascending side of the road, so coming back down was real smooth, and I felt alright in pushing it a little.

I've worked on descending and found that weighting the outside leg was a huge help. Also, looking ahead and not at your wheel, so you can see upcoming junctions, potholes, gravel etc and make your line choice early and more smoothly. Finally, having a bike that fits. Being on a too small bike makes for sketchy high-speed descents. Check the geo, the BB height, the reach.

Finally! So many spend hundreds of hours watching videos and thousands of dollars out of pocket on trying to go up a mountain faster only to lose it by being crap on the descent....another tip for blind turns, look at the outside of the turn. If the curb is coming toward you the corner is getting tighter, if the curb is moving away it's opening up and you need less brake on entry....👍....bad habits, to this day I still drag my rear brake until the apex....learned that from Moto legend Kenny Roberts and I've never been able to shake the habit!.. happy new year 👍

@karlwalters3763 2 жыл бұрын

Haha me too! I used to race 600 supersport and still brake in the same fashion. I remember hearing Kevin Schwantz say he trail braked with a back break until the apex to stretch the bike out and get it to squat while it also allowed him to get an innitial break of traction and slide the bike around the corner thereby getting it turned towards the exit earlier. Brave stuff! Probably from his dirt track days.

@JamieSmith-fz2mz 2 жыл бұрын

You left out one of the key components: understand how the bike actually turns. To turn to the left, put forward pressure on the LEFT bar. To turn right, put pressure on the RIGHT bar. If you want to turn tighter, push harder. If you want to turn less, push less. To turn a steady arc, keep the pressure constant. Use that gyro to your advantage. So many people fail to understand this basic principal so they end up scalloping the turn by turning 7 or 8 times when they should just carve it with one well-placed arc. You almost covered it when you talked about keeping your weight over the bike (weighting the outside foot). But it’s the pressure on the bars that makes the bike turn.

Thanks @Jamie for writing this, I was about to tip the same as this is *very* important and not very often mentioned in all how-to-descend videos. Maybe two more - keep your shoulders relaxed, more tight they are - more difficult to turn... And keep your sight on the curve exit (i.e. where you want to go), rather than staring at your front wheel.

Thanks Tristan (& Ben) - nice insight / tips on decsending. I always feel i am a poor decsender never feel confident at high speed (60kph+). Its picking them lines on flowing high speed bends to stay smooth i always seem to judge it wrong and destablize the bike. Actually feel better on hairpins (something like Alp D'Huez) as lower top speed. Anything you can offer on those types of fast flowing descents? Still.......... looking forward to my week in the Luz area end of July / Early August 2022 and decsending some of those mountains.

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

My number one recommendation is always to practice at a speed you’re comfortable with, and trust the process that as you gain more confidence you’ll become faster. It takes a long time to get quicker and it’s not a process that should be rushed. Most cyclists (and many other high-speed, high-risk sportspeople) tend to go quicker than they should probably be going, without realizing the rewards are not worth the risk. Keeping an eye on maps really helps though, to know how sharp a turn might be so you can judge your braking a little better before it. I’d also recommend paying close attention to planting your outside food down hard on drawn out curves so the bike stays stuck to the road. Essentially what’s in the video, put into practice across all kinds of descents so you can get more and more comfortable with cornering at speed in time. All the best with it! 👌🏼

@thomassantos4124 2 жыл бұрын

Really nice video! New to the channel just want to ask, should i upgrade to carbon clincher wheels. I have rim brakes on my bike and I am kinda scared if descending with rim brakes with all that fuss of brake failure while descending. Although I have taken a lot of notes from your videos and it helped just a little bit scared and looking for an expert opinion. Thanks for the content keep it up!

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment Thomas! Glad you enjoyed the video. Depending on the rims, you might find carbon lighter and faster through the air, however braking performance is (on the whole) not as good, especially in the wet. I haven’t had any kind of brake failure before, but I do notice I have to brake for quite a long time to properly slow down and I generally take it more cautiously than someone like Ben who is both a better rider and also on disc brakes. If you’re not descending long or steep descents, carbon rims will offer an advantage in terms of performance so I’d recommend them.

@tristantakevideo 2 жыл бұрын

This sounds like a layering issue when climbing. Ben and I were both wearing a long sleeve baselayer, a long sleeve jersey, and then I had a gilet on as well and put on the lightweight wind stopper for descents. The issue most people have is not taking off layers when they start climbing and then getting too hot/soaked in sweat by the top of the climb. You’d have to be in very cold conditions to be freezing on a climb so my recommendation would be to wear less going uphill and put on layers once you’re at the top.

Appreciate the tips mate. 6:40 "do all your braking before the corner" Sorry lads, :D absolutely incorrect for most corners. "Passive Trail Braking" will be the most efficient for the majority of corners. Trailing off as bike gets to the apex will allow for maximum exit speed. And, that is what cornering IS ALL about, Maximum exit speed. 2:18 in slightly off line at the exit. I could see you had to slow way down to stay within the dotted center line. And again at 2:33. Bigger mistake, running wide of the exit. This is because your initial turn-in to the corner was too early. But some good form in there, not bad.
