I'll try that tomorrow morning. Sounds like a good way to lean on the free foot. Didn't fall at all today
Say what people want to say about clipless effectiveness but I'm now in 7th position overall in that hill climbing. I stayed in 50/21 for half the hill and 50/24 for the last half. My average speed was 24.1 km/h. First time I stayed in that big chainring for climbing that hill. Even while mashing the pedals I couldn't. I also did a best score on a segment and 3rd best in another. All this with a slightly lesser suffer score than usual
Hopefully I'm done with falling for a very long time because I really don't want to go back to flats.
