I had 3 hill climbs this week SAVA ti: 2x Eastridge; and once for Antenna San Carlos Heights last Tuesday. And they looked easy for me, because I merely used the low gears. I was able to climb the sites using only 32 chain rings and max of 36 for the sprocket
I have two other MTB: a SAVA 580 carbon fiber and Mosso Falcon 4. But this one is the best so far. It was a good buy
I learned from the video at You Tube that you do not have to over exert nor race going up because you can blow out and not finish the climb. At East ridge yesterday, a young MTB rider had to stop often and said it was his first time. Going down was perilous: the roads which were moss filled were difficult to negotiate going down hill: the tires skid and the bike despite the knobby was difficult to control - you could ditch anytime. But thanks God,these were uneventful climb and descent

Lack of practice makes the knees and thighs weaker?

Last Thursday, I went up with a group of trainees (two ladies) up East Ridge. We walked from Manila East (7 11) till Unamonte where we did the calisthenics. Then I let them walk, as tried to climb up using the SAVA carbon fiber MTB. I seemed to lose lung capacity easily and the pedaling seemed tough. I have to stop some 20 meters away from Unamonte gate 2. We rested there and I rode again. Again the pedaling seemed tough and I had to put the chain ring down to 24. I usually do not stop and use only 32 to get up to the top.
What seemed to be wrong? Well lack of practice. I did not do a lot of East ridge or San Carlos or Medalva climbs. I guess I have to do more of that. I neglected hill climbs
Although today I rode to Antipolo Church using a roadie, I think I did well and managed the fiber tex and Beverly portion well. (As a matter of fact I passed many MTB who seemed to relish on frequent stop) On the way home I passed the diversion. Pero sagad ang sprocket sa 32 (x 39)
