RNRG..it's basically weight bearing(whilst out of the saddle) that bothers my right knee. I've stopped trying to get out of the saddle & am quite happy pushing uphill seated. It's freakin annoying but i'm doing what's best for my leg.

I tried to keep up with ian last week & pushed too hard..I too felt it for a few days..

I can't relax my right leg as i don't want it to give way.

I just wanna mtn bike! I don't wanna be just a roadie

I, along with a lot of other women I ride with, rarely stand on the mountain bike. I think I stand more on the road bike actually. I've found that standing on climbs makes me prone to losing steam and not being able to unclip suddenly as I tumble down random rocky hills. I sit and spin my way up and it's worked for some pretty tough climbs. Just some food for thought.

Me too. I sit and do boobs to the tube and just chug-a-lug on up...I rarely, rarely stand.

Most of our trails here in WA have quite a few log overs etc. so you have to get out of the saddle.

I understand what you're sayin tho!

[Irulan]

standing for climbing, and standing for "body english" and technical maneuvers is kind of two different things.

What Irulan said..Standing for technical maneuvers...
