Have you adapted your pedaling style to a higher cadence? Check out the cadence that riders like Pogacar now climb with. If one is used to riding climbs at a lower cadence, it will take some work to adapt one's pedaling style to the higher cadence which works best with shorter cranks.
@@barrowsworm1226Ultimately it’s not as simple as upping the cadence and going into a smaller gear ratio. Individually we each have our preferred footspeed and torque. While I am on 160s because I am primarily a breakaway specialist looking for aero gains, I am doing so at the expense of available torque while climbing at lower speeds. I have even tried as low as 140mm cranks just to leave no doubt about sensations felt with 160s and 155s.
Nice chat, thanks guys.
Thanks for watching! Dan was such a pleasure to have on the podcast
Joss walking in during the interview with no Fs to give.😆
I went from 172.5 cranks to 165 and love it for everything but climbs. Do pros use 165 on climbing races too?
