Its funny you say that because the seated/not-seated climb was actually a debate in my cycling club long ago. The agreement was: road = seated, offroad = not seated. Heh, back then (1987?) I rode a cannondale with a 26" front and 24" rear wheel with a gear ratio so low that my cadence had to skyrocket or i'd fall over from lack of momentum, but I sure could climb!
- ip26 5y agoWith no rear suspension and tall gearing, it makes sense to stand. But when you have suspension in the back & a big rear sprocket, you get more grip & have more endurance seated.
