Pros and Cons of the two types of climbing. The power explosiveness of Standing attacks, or the measured movement of a seated ride. Both will work, all boils down to rider preference that suits your skill level and fitness
I would lik to disagree, but I know I will not be heard. It's not about the gradient? Tell that to Tour de France riders? It is a known fact that seated riding will/can preserve more energy. That is true. It is certainly not seated or standing, but a combination of the two. Riding along seated at 7 - 10 % is fine, but when the gradient spikes to 15% a newbie needs to know to stand
Good day coach today is my 5th road champion Biomechanics and this climb tips save me from the game and I spend less effort while riding with my opponents power pace Can't say anything but proven tested and effective not just for seniors but for me also 22
always a good day when you guys uploaded a vid. new things to learn everytime. room for improvement does not end. find the best technique that suits your riding style without sacrificing energy and efficiency. when there is a proven method like these Gentz demonstrating, do not be shy to experiment yourself and absorb it. great episode Coach Lei! food for thoughts always. wisdom.
This works for him but for the amateur rider I wouldn't copy his riding technique and fit. The down stroke at the toes you can see loosen and just hang there at the lowest point which means his seatpost is way too high. You can also see he moves at the tip of the saddle far forward because he's overreaching the pedals due to the saddle being too high up. It works for him but I wouldn't advice a beginner to copy that form
Seated when doing my Z2. Seat stand during hill reps and race. I have flat handlebar i can do aero superflat position, i installed rubber sticker to avoid slipping.
Yea , but his technique is acquired for his own training . You can climb on big gears . And depending on length of race . And you can leave the field and ride away. I won races and a weeks wage at 16 years old leaving a field of 40 cyclists. And no one could match a 40 kph break 500 metres up a hill. My timing was to perfection gaining me fastest time in an old fashioned handicap race. The larger gears can reduce your career but what the heck . Not there for a long time just a good time . Put 5 min into them with 20 min left for bunch to finish.
There's no universally right answer. For me, climbing to get rolling, then sitting to hold cadence. But there are no really steep climbs in my area, so maybe that's wrong. Or it will change.
When the rider has an idea how to use his equipment, he can make it work and adapt. Zi apparently wanted to use his bike for time trials but cannot afford to always change chainrings every time he rides on courses with hills
@@emilescheffers5365 With over 50 years on the bike, you "obviously" don't know what you are talking about. Started riding in '68 and racing in '73. Try again. If what I wrote isn't you, you have zero reason to be offended.
True. Not to be mean but that big guy looks absolutely terrible in that lyrca and yeah its also a size too small by the looks of it. If I were that big there is no way I would be seen in public looking like that.
@@CruzControlPH how does noise have anything to do with you riding style up a hill? Yes, you have to concentrate, but you also need to pay close attention to your body. When to drink, eat and adjust your cadence and riding style.
The more higher cadence is the best practice in climbing and in flat as well. This forced extremely slow cadence is not good for muscles, joints, performance and the bike. Learn to spin! 🙂
