Hi all,
Yesterday I was going up a > 10 hill for a few miles and no matter what I did I had to keep standing to climb. Which can tire me quicker. Now oddly enough I have a gravel/adventure bike with road tyres that I can sit down and climb quicker the same hill. Some 5 mins according to Strava. And this bike has 650b wheels.
Could there be an issue with road bike as regards geometry? Along the flat it’s quick and confortable.
Thanks
