you use this same climbing technique for SS as geared?
i am out of the saddle a lot on my SS roadie. the only time i sit on a climb is when i can't handle life anymore and i am in need of something that doesn't hurt as much as standing (sitting never really works). i'll go from sitting to standing sometimes every 30 seconds if the climb sucks out loud looking for relief. anyway on the road i'm usually standing on uphills.
on the geared bike which is my mountain bike (which is SS right now, but i change it back to geared often enough), i sit a lot more than stand since i can spin, especially when the grade gets crazy or when it gets technical. i probably would ride the same if i had gears on the roadie.
