Rear wheel dusty spinouts when climbing

[laura*]

I also didn't think I was leaning, but that doesn't mean I wasn't. I do know I've learned unconsciously in the past (people told me later) so I wouldn't be surprised.

To make a turn on a bicycle requires leaning - it's simple physics - one needs to balance centrifugal force with gravitational force. Of course turning very slowly needs very little lean. The conventional advice is for the rider to stay centered on the bike and to lean the whole rider and bike unit. That works in a criterium with a perfect road surface...

I seem to ALWAYS be in a curve to the right when this happens

I wonder if your attention is leading your position on the trail. In other words, while still in the turn, your mind has already moved on to the straight section - and you move your body toward it. With this always happening in the same direction, maybe it is a dominant eye related thing.


I agree with indysteel about trying a different tire.
