I would love to have a TT bike because a good one weighs as much as my road bike right now

Best tip for climbing on a TT bike: learn to descend safely on a TT bike

Re: “attacking the start of a hill”, Everyone says not to, but as far as i can see the science says this is the way to go. Look at how Space X lands their rockets: they don't spend all day fighting gravity, they come in at Mach 1 (literally) fire the rockets hard for as short a burst as possible, and get 'er done! I will “attack”, within reason, carrying speed from the previous downhill. It costs nearly nothing to MAINTAIN speed, and the faster you are finished the hill, the less time gravity has to work against you: at 9m per second PER SECOND, the less “seconds” you spend climbing a hill, the less “seconds” gravity has to act on you in a negative way. The more time you spend on the hill, the more energy gravity is sapping. By the same token, I'll rest on the downhill once I feel like I've hit the aerodynamic wall, because effort is exponentially less productive as aerodynamic friction increases. There's no point burning yourself out for marginal gains. I have no numbers to back it, but what I know of physics this is correct, regardless of what the masses say! If I'm actually wrong, why?

Great tips 👍thanks

I can’t climb, very slow but I can do it. My problem is descending, I get very nervous and my hands get sore of all the tension. I tell myself I need to relax but it doesn’t always work. Maybe you should do a video on descending too.

I hate climbs. I will never get better. I am a sprinter ;-)

Can you simulate hills on a trainer

[@alainkabanemi]

Yes with a smart trainer

[@abirghosh729]

@@alainkabanemi I do but does the resistance get tougher if Zwift starts to gain elevation

[@jamiefuhrman403]

@@abirghosh729 Yes, this is what slope vs. erg mode means. When you see an incline, your resistance will increase (vs. erg mode requiring you to maintain a specified power)

You can do it!

tip1: use rim brakes

Do you feel 200 grams? Average punters like you are too obsessed with lighter this lighter that. Dont be a fat person and hit the gym dude 🤣
