From Reddit - r/bicycling: I really struggle with some 30°-40° climbs here in my area on my MTB; do I just need more training, or should I switch to a gravel bike?
Doing Lake Placid this year, during training , even on an “easy ride” I like to take the climbs a little harder than normal race effort. My race effort is around 135-140 bpm but I’ll do my climbs at more like 150-155 bpm.…
Hi guys I recently upgraded from canyon spectral to a transition patrol and the bike has been awesome except for on long climbs I am noticing a lot of pressure in my hands and they tend to go numb.…
I’m 48. Long time rider. Weight 67kg I’m heading to France to do big climbing days 3500m/day. Madeleine, galibier etc. my local climbs are a lot smaller and no really sustained steep pitches.…
Sorry for the "outside" video, but I guess this is real riding after 2hs of climbs and descents! I hope you can take a good look at the fit. Everytime I look at my 29 XS Epic I keep on asking myself... is it the best I can do for training and racing?…
