Tackling HeartBreak Hill....

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

Yes,

I know Im an old f*rt and have only been MTBing a few months but Im frustrated having to walk up Heartbreak and some of the other "hills" at Manly Dam every time.

I have tried going down gears which usually ends up with me spinning the rear wheel or veering off into a heap. Should I be using a middle chain ring/low gear and standing up although most of the people pasing me are sitting down and churning up the hill.

Last Twice as Long?

So, again it's time for a chain change. Since the last one the Rush has done 994Km according to MotionBased. Which is a good deal more than the 400Km the first one lasted so that's good right?

Well, almost.

I'm sure at the last check just a week or so back the old chain was < 0.7% but suddenly (after Muddy Xmas Cup) it's past that point and gone on to be just over 1.0%
