  • Tested Mous casing and bike mount on one of the roughest road in Malaysia and why it's safer to mount in on your bike than back pocket. As a heavy cyclist climbing is always so damn hard, but we still do it. I seriously wonder why.

    I could see the sense of acheivement when you climbed that hill, I was so pleased for you, well done! The sense of achievement can be overwhelming when you see all your hard work pay off.

    haha bro.. everytime i ride with my friend who is 20kg lighter than me. .I am always ahead of them in the flats and descents. but as soon as a hill comes, I just get dropped lol! Life is so hard

      @@melvintanchannel haha its OK bro.. My friends call me the watt machine or trojan horse..us bigger guys produce more Watts. We just struggle on the climbs cause of our "muscle" weight hahab

    • @melvintanchannel
      @melvintanchannel  Год назад

      Yea.... Cuz climb lighter ppl use almost 30% less watts den us at anything above 4% and it goes up worst for us as it hits 8 to 10% we can almost use 50% more den skinny ppl.... But on flat we have rolling advantage becuz of our weight and we can produce 200 over watts similar while skinny ppl probably use less but not much of comparing to heavier ppl... Lol but skinny ppl have less watts on their legs as well... Lol... But it gets back as it goes longer distance... Hahaha skinny ppl can ride longer and further easier den us hahaha

      @@melvintanchannel haha yeah this is true. The annoying thing sometimes to. I would ride my lightweight friends and I would be ahead of them, but then when there is a hill, they catch up and then drop me. And the bigger problem is. most hill sin the UK are 12%+ (I've done hills that are like 26% and wanted to cry after haha) so once they drop me, its so hard to catch up cause I am just so burnt

    I totally disagree with your statement, i'm overweight - 78kg with 170cm, i climb faster than most of my skinny friends. You may possible ride faster when you stop telling yourself tired.

      Hahhahah 78kg is muscle bro.... Heavy weight with less muscle will be slow 😂 especially 90kg over... U r the stronger den most heavy weights... 😂💪... Remember bro I am 171cm and 93kg I am 15kg heavier den u and probably more fatty 😂
