In my observation no, nobody stands up while climbing. I came from the old school Kirt Voreis school of climbing, which says to stand up all the time to train your descending muscles. Plus I spent a ton of time on singlespeeds, because it reinforced the Voreis approach, and because it's a fun challenge in a bizarre way, but that puts you and I in a very small camp. Most people on road bikes or mountain bikes will sit 99% of the time and will pretty much only stand to descend or sprint.

I don't have big legs or a nice jawline, but I have absolutely filleted myself after looping out on hard dirt using clipon pedals and trying to manual. I wasn't getting anywhere with it, so I threw down hard on one occasion and voila! Instant loopout. Dude, that still hurts.

I’ve also got a +4 ape index, 36 inch inseam, masssssifff quads and chiseled jawline. All of which brings me to the most annoying dumb bike problem of all time. You ever hit your knees on the bars of a mountain bike while your trying to win a tech climbing contest with some local legend you shouldn’t even be riding...

And technically I posted about gearbox emoto’s too. Sometimes I like to trigger e-bikers by calling them dirt bikes. And yeah. Those are both “DUMB BIKE PROBLEMS” like fit and hub pawls and the occasional flat tire

I have been working really really diligently to not blame the long rear center on my spire XXL for my shit Manuals. I never really had them on lock anyways…. So I keep pulling and thrusting and ripping my shoulders apart all the time. Like trails, uphills , rough stuff , speed slow, cruising with the kids on connectors- just...

It's just so sick. The tire sounds in the flat-ish right hander starting at 3:30 are second to none, and Loris has the most signature Vital Raw freehub sound at 2:56. Great sneaky go-round line from Remi T at 5:34.

I think there's a business case to be made for lower-cost park bikes now that many peoples' primary bikes are eMTBs. Back in the day, my cohort of friends had a trail bike and a DH bike. Later, I feel like it became an enduro bike and a lighter trail bike (aka downcountry). Now, I imagine a lot of mountain bikers' pairings will either be a park bike and an eMTB, or a XC bike and an eMTB.
