I have been on my CR 1 Pro for a couple of weeks. Finally figured out shifting technique for the most part.

A question about hills: from what I have read at high cadence you use slow twitch fibers -more aerobic and at low cadence you use fast twitch more "powerful" muscle fibers, correct?

So on a hill climb is it better technique to gradually shift into lower gears as you slow up and keep faster cadence or do you stay in a higher gear and muscle your way to the top at a lower cadence?

i suppose if I rode in the higher gear I would rely more on power mucle fibers and build muscle as opposed to spinning up the hill and building aerobic capacity.

Is my logic correct??

Do most riders alternate technique to get both benefits ?

I imagine on some hills you have no choice but to gear down and spin due to grade of the hill and /or length of climb.

FWIW : my bike has double chain ring and there is one hill I absolutely dread. I now see the point of a triple chain ring but I'm thinking the double gives me a great workout.
