@bongborin You couldn’t find a road bike from Trek that cheap.
@Change438 Yeah you’re right. He’s really stiff
@Change438 Yeah, he’s very rigid. Must burn a lot of energy trying to keep the bike from rocking. However, at the end of the day, it comes down to comfort. Everyone is different and it seems to be working fine for him, which is really all that matters.
@ajxcman
yes it is. =D
I just check on google.
Thank you.
Anyone selling a Trek road bike around $200?
@Change438 No you’re right I wasn’t really paying attention to the context of the video. Climbing is different, I thought we were just talking about “the wobble” in general like on flat sprints
@destructicon500 look, I’m tired of replying. track cycling is totally different from climbing, just please look up videos on climbing technique, dont take my word for it… if you raced bikes you would understand
@bongborin im thinking that it looks like a cervelo p1
At 1:07 what kind of bike is that in the front?
Carvelo?
@Change438 At the same time though, you don’t see track cyclists doing “the wobble”
@downfader2 nope, it takes more energy and power to do that, just try it yourself, it feels completely unnatural. Check out guys from the tour, and other pro cyclists, you wont find any of them not rocking their bikes when they are out of the saddle. efficiency up hill is all about staying relaxed, and I feel, especially when I’m just grinding up the climbs yanking up with my thighs especially, that its good to almost throw yourself up the hill, and maintain that momentum
@Change438 I disagree. The guy in the white is more inefficient as he’s losing power in the side sway/wobble. The green guy is more controlled and all his power is going into the cranks. I think his arms/body are fine, they look stiff because he isnt swaying when infact they’re prolly quite limber.
@13tarmac pretty sure, I’m a fairly good climber. at least I know I have better technique than him, but I cant really know obviously you cant really judge the grade of the hill… but you can see quite clearly, just compare the arm movement of the two riders, white vs green. its way too stiff, and a very inefficient technique
nice video. but shouldnt all this be intuitive. and those guys look like they are climbing fairly fast.
@Change438 you really think you can do better?
@DV8hc size small 17″
Easier with low gears, light bike and not being fat – signed Captain Obvious
im 5’7 and weigh 150 what kind of cycling bike would be good for me??
not using that onj the hills i go on lol
He still shave his legs
@unsczombie pffft nobody uses reflectors. just ride visible. and if you’re riding at night THEN u can use lights.
@zach00attack Maybe so he isn’t killed while riding?
@abejorromostachon absolutly
@ave2timeslip I guess that there is a mistake there. In order to achieve a more circular pedalling, you need to change that angle…
Wow, now Contador doesn´t have a change against me:)
Many obvious points, but fixing the feet/lower leg angle was new to me.
Didn’t pay attention to it, that’s for sure.
