Training Guide: 4 tips to help you climb more vigorously

Riding between mountain roads is indeed very interesting, but there are still some special things about mountain climbing compared to other ways of riding. First of all, you have to adjust your training intensity according to time, which is the key factor for the success of climbing training.

These exercises not only allow your body to gain more strength in aerobic exercise, regulate lactic acid, and increase the strength threshold, but also enhance your mental adaptability, because hard climbing is not only a challenge to muscles, but also a challenge to brain psychology.

In every climbing exercise, your speed, intensity and strength should be within the target range. If your speed and strength drop a 20%, it means that you are about to "burst". It is time to stop and relax for a few laps. Let's call it a day.

Also note that before you start training, you must warm up for 15 minutes. After training, you must calm down and relax for a few minutes.

From the perspective of use, the advantage of hydraulic disc brakes is that they can adjust the friction consumption of the brake pads by themselves, but they still cannot avoid the problem of high temperature generated by the oil pressure for long downhill. The mechanical disc brake uses a rotating torque to consume the friction of the brake pad, so there will be no trouble of oil overheating when going downhill.

Some people doubt that the brake of the mechanical disc will not die, which can only show that the quality of the mechanical disc you bought is too poor. Its advantages and disadvantages do not lie in this. What matters is always the design. The better brands of mechanical disc brakes are Avid and Hayes. Shimano can also be considered, especially Avid. In terms of adjustability and braking force, it is no exaggeration to say that they are equal to advanced oil discs. In addition, although the weight of the mechanical disc brake is relatively large, it can obtain more adjustable performance.
