Oval chainring! They say that oval chainrings improve climbing, but I've found that i'm faster, everywhere! (34T Absolute Black Oval, replaced triple, that had 32T middle)
Seconded on ovals. I've noticed better engagement on technical climbing and smoother motion on fire-road climbs. As for flats, my cadence has improved dramatically.
Me too. I think it's more beneficial on flat pedals because you can't really pull the pedal in a circle. It helps me especially on steep climbs where you pedal slower.
On my experience, once I'm pedaling especially my legs felt heavy already, I don't stop, I'm converting the pain by thinking different things and noticed, " oh I've just reached the rally point. "
It's not just hips with saddle too high, rotation of the pelvis can cause issues in the lower spine leading to potential sciatic pain or loss of muscle power long term...
I think using flat pedals has the advantage of changing foot position on the fly which can work other muscles in the legs giving others that are worn out a break . Changing leg position is also helpful going inside and outside . So flat pedals gives more options but its a learning process and takes time to reap the benefits .
For me the height of the seat depends on what I'm doing. Do I want to ride comfortably, safely, and efficiently? Then I go for the high seat, 6:32 style. Do I want to jump and take sharp turns? Then I go with the low saddle, 6:45 style. Best thing in the world is to have those seats that go from low to high and viceversa automatically ( 0:39 ). I wish I had one of those but oh well, by now I have already memorized the perfect low and high numbers for my seat. Anyway, great video as always guys. Keep it up!
I still position the pedals where they'd be on clilpless pedals while on flats if I need to go fast. If I'm just cruising then yeah middle of the foot . I do swing the bike like crazy when I stand up though, I find it helps, like if my right leg is pushing down, I swing the bike to the left .
Swinging the bike like crazy helps you get the pedal down but it is less efficient to the ends of actually making the bike go Try some quick starts like that in a place you can go back and look at the line your bike takes. It will probably be really wiggly(those super powerful cranks send part of the power sideways, since the bike was leaned over when the power was added) ..... buuuut as long as you are really stoked the whole time you're probably doing it right :-)
@@adamnorton748 line's straight . Weirdly straight . I'm guessing I'm going sideways so my bike stays rather level when I swing it . It's a straighter line than if I start off normally. But I'm also at a higher gear and hence much less power than normal .
@@adamnorton748 As long as the bars are angled down as you go from left to right and not turned much on the horizontal axis it is efficient (you use all the top of the tire this way - the ballooning of the tire going back and forth from edge to edge may explain why it feels more efficient than keeping the bars straight). Also you are allowing the bike to move with the movement of you pedaling, where as if you are expending energy trying to keep the bars straight you are fighting the bikes movement... not sure why I felt the need to try and break it down this far, but I hope it helps.
What you are saying Makes a lot of sense. The same is applicable to road racing bikes 🚲 I was taught in my youth in the 1980s the same in explanation you mention in this vlog.
I've found being really active with the dropper post is a good habit to have on trail rides with variations in terrain/gradient. Sometimes I will drop it for a turn, immediately pop it back up most of the way to gain some speed. I figure my legs muscles can only work so hard, and holding my weight up is work they don't need to be doing, so let the mechanism do some of the work.
It was stated that clipped in, just let the foot smoothly come around in a circle and *not* pull up. Later it was stated that Pros get more power clipped in. I ride flats (and am no pro), but had thought getting extra power was through the upstroke. Maybe only due to zero slippage?
There's still a bit of upward pull, plus the push down is 100% for power and no muscle or focus spent on contact. This difference is magnified in rock gardens and technical climbs.
@@marcdaniels9079 Definitely worth a look - plus the clipless and saddle height videos. Definitely some surprises. Had not found that channel previously. Thanks!
After a ride I feel vastus medialis takes 90% of the beating and my calves aren’t even sore, is there a technique to distribute strength evenly throughout the legs?
Is pedaling strictly engaging leg and butt muscles or is tilting the torso just a bit towards every pedal down stroke okay, too? I ask because doing this actually makes it easier pedaling which includes going up hill or into the wind ...it makes me feel like I am cheating ...am I?
The circle tip is the only real useful one and maybe seat height. In Bmx racing 1 gear. We say big circles at the beginning and little small circles at top speed. Also paddling your ankles I’ve heard. For pro tips and pedalling though I would say that’s all about sprint routines. Starts 5-7 cranks lowish gear with 2 mins rest until you drop off by 15% of best time. Up hill sprints for power and down hill sprints for top end leg speed.
Even if i had my bike for like 1 or 2 years, i still dont know what class it is. I dont know if its enduro, downhill, or XC. (Its a hand me down my uncle gave it to me he had it for like 5 years so its already pretty old but i have been taking it to bike shops to service it)
I try to pedal as smoothly as I can but there's always a "thud thud" sound when I pedal. sometimes it will sound once during a full turn, sometimes twice. if I change to a higher gear, sometimes the sound will go off. it's like when I pedal "too easy", the sound will appear. I'm not sure where exactly the sound is coming from as it's not possible for me to keep looking at the pedal/crank/gear/cassette while pedalling and trying not to crash into anything... I'm just afraid that I'm straining the chain...
I got a brand new bike and when really give some Torque it starts sound floor boards breaking lol, if your bike is mechanically “A1” then it’s normal, sadly chains stretch over time
I tried cleats but I prefer my flats, just something about having feet free when things get crazy! Also I have been increasing my cadence, but I am also working on intervals so pedalling smoothly is out the window!
Saddle too low also meant I couldn’t deal with the weight of the bike. Once I got it set up right it didn’t seem to matter anymore, now it’s just a question of whether or not I can handle the hills.
I’ve been out of the mountain bike scene for way too many years. Tires 29” instead of 26, fully adjustable suspension, and clippy shoes?!?! Specific bikes, downhills, enduros gravel bikes, it used to be one bike for everything and adjusting the suspension meant letting air out the tires. And did you hit a lever to adjust seat height? We need a “old mountain biker has a look at new bikes after 40 years” video.
this dude definitely did something with his hands when that seat popped up. I imagine it was just a little video editing, but I'll be honest, it totally blew my mind.
@5:00 I'm surprised GMBN talked about 'Turbo's and Rollers but only showed the Trubo. I, like many of you on here, raced for many years and never really considered a stationary bike as anything more than a cardio tool. They more often than not cause more bad habits than they are worth. Instead invest in a well manufactured set of rollers. You can get so good on them that you can ride without touching your bars or if your really skilled you can bunny hop on a ridged bike and still keep on riding. Anyway, rollers are such a better investment in my eyes.
I haven’t been able to mtb for over a year and a half now because of an injury. I think clips sound great but which one should I get? I would prefer only getting one option because I don’t have unlimited money. I plan to be doing a bit of everything.
Second going with flats, especially and year and a half injury flats will let you bail easier / faster or kick a leg out for balance. Also depends on the types of trails you ride, clips might not be so dangerous if you are going on double wide gravel trails... either way, glad to hear you are trying to get back after so long! I had a back injury and it took me over 10 years to get back, and it feels so good to get back I’m sure you’ll love getting back on the bike no matter what kind of pedals you end up with. 🤘
If you measure the hight of your saddle with just your heal on the peddle, it dosnt take consideration the length of your foot you could be a size 7 or 14 remember this as just a rough measurement.
Interesting, I had my seat a bit low recently after replacing my dropper cable - felt it through my knees. Also, issue for us long legged folk is slacker seat angles that have us a bit back when the seat is up for seated peddling. Lastly, can't recommend enough Absolute Black Oval Chainrings - makes a huge difference in ride survive-ability and ones legs. Not to mention tech climbs are easier with them.
Whenever I stand up in the saddle to pedal my chain likes to skip. I've adjusted my gear cables etc, put a bigger chain ring on, new crankset and bottom bracket and still struggle to find a solution. I'm a bigger rider at 6ft 3 and 130kg
Really found this video helpful, thanks! I do have a question: when I’m pedaling hard uphill in certain gears, the chain will randomly come out of gear. This has lead to many near-accidents, and it happens on all my bikes. What is the cause, and what can I do to fix that?
I'd like to see a bike pedal crank arm that is slightly bent backwards. It would work on the same principle as a torque wrench. This would allow for more energy efficiency when peddling ( again, the same as with more efficiency with a torque wrench ).
I think my technique is wrong and I am all out of shape, because I my knees feel like noodles whenever I do stand-up pedaling and sprint as hard as I can. My thighs feel extremely tight and I find it difficult sometimes to sit down or stand up from sitting.
Last couple of times out I've tried swapping from my normal push each leg down technique ( 1 to 6 as Rich says ) to more of a push over the top starting at 11, 1-6 push then a back drag at the bottom taking me to about 7/8. I'm on flats so can't do much more than that but I feel I'm using muscles I wouldn't normally use. The result when in the lowest 2 gears and slow flat climbs only feels like a low power Ebike assist. It's a short boost for now as I clearly don't use those muscles often so they tire and start to tense/cramp up quickly but it does make me wonder if this is what everyone else who leaves me for dead normally is doing all the time and I just need to train up for it more. An oval chainring has made a difference but I fitted it near the start of lockdown 1 and my fitness improved dramatically so which is which I couldn't say. However I do find that it "gears up" just as you're wanting power to get over things sometimes so I am stalling out more. It can also gear down just as you're finishing your stroke resulting in more late stroke wheelspin in mud when just cruising, also if you didn't stall out on that tree root bumping up you'll now spin out on it as it gears down.
It went together easily in less than an hour. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Make sure the front fork is forward or the pedals will hit the front tire. Tires are both a little soft so it needs air before I ride it. The rear wheel didn't come with a clamp regular bolts hold it on. The front had the clamp. No scratches out of box. Rims are a little off with a slight wobble. They could have spent more time with the spoke tool fixing the run out. So far out of the box I'm happy with it. I did replace the pedals with a nice aftermarket set. After riding it a bit my A$$ is a bit sore so I ordered another seat. Overall I'm nearly 60 and didn't ride a bike in 30 years. I like my new 29" Schwinn. It will be used for casual rides with my friend.
