I changed my Instagram to public for this, but I’ll switch it back to

I’m on a roll over there with

Now Joe, that's just silly. Come to think of it, this whole thread is just
silly - which is probably why I keep following it ; )

Now that's interesting. Watch even older videos of Coppi and Bartalli on

I expect that if you repeat "twiddle" rapidly 1,000 times while breathing
very shallowly and rapidly you will receive some sort of enlightenment.

Yep Patrick and Steve that's what I do.
Spinning fast uphill in a tiny gear = going nowhere in a hurry and running
out of breath. Going uphill in the largest gear I can get away with while
pedaling slow and steady = very efficient in terms of propulsion forward,
strength and breathing long,
I twiddle, I'm a big twiddler. Twiddling my life away.

I think Garth does what I do, which is to shove back to the end of the
saddle, put hands on ramps or flats, and push the crank forward and around
at top dead center in a highish gear; right, Garth?
Me, I expect there are as many different climbing styles as there are
gearing patterns, and perhaps

There's nothing to get Patrick as how you've explained how you
position/ride is quite "natural" to me. That said, I never have or will
ride a bike with very, very high bars. I won't say it's impossible to sit
very upright and spin up steep hills, but it's surely awkward and
inefficient to sit
I have a 50.

Yes, I meant those huge inner cogs. I don't know if they actually get to 52
teeth but I believe they've reached 50.

Traditionally I think that's been the most common use of the term "granny
gear" in the context of bicycle gearing, though it's likely due to the fact
that for a long time the only way to get gearing low enough for your
grandmother to push was to put a small chainring up front. With modern
52 tooth granny cog on the freewheel, I assume.
I use the term granny for the small chainwheel on the crank, but others may
not.

I lean forward but not downward with the Tosco bars on my Clem. I get neck
pain when the forward lean is also downward over long distances so the bars
being above the saddle is my preference. The grip portion of the bars does
sit me upright but the bars have a couple of forward areas that I use
52 tooth granny cog?

I'm sorry, what logic are we talking about?
I shove back and sit up for low-cadence, high-torque pedaling, and I move
forward and down when I want to spin fast. My riding includes both extremes
but it also includes the entire middle ground. So again, I don't understand
"logic."
Patrick Moore,
That logic would only make sense if most of your riding exists in either of those two extremes.On Apr 27, 2023, at 9:15 PM, Joe Bernard wrote:I sit upright because I like it and I use really low gears because the hills are steep. On Thursday, April 27, 2023 at 6:08:22 PM UTC-7 Patrick Moore

OTOH: this is puzzling: I see so many Rivendells on this list with very,
very high bars, but with 52 tooth granny cogs; IOW gearing designed for
low-torque fast-cadence twiddling. I don't get it. When I spin I move
forward and down; when I torque I shove back and sit up. What gives?
