Front chainring climbing
Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:15 pm
It seems like its "easier" for mew to power climb on the front large chainring. This is for smaller hills. The small chainring doesn't seem to give me enough leverage to pull the torque on the upswing (if you catch my drift).
Does anyone else do this on small (-.5km) hills. Is there a chance of doing some damage like this?
I shift to the large chainring, then let the calves / up swing drive (pull) me up the hill (out of the saddle), I don't really have much choice anyway as the small chainring and the lightest gear become too heavy when I try to spin I guess I should add i'm pretty light (65kgs), this may be a factor!
