How does pedal bob work on a bike?
Pedal bob isn’t a matter of standing vs. seated, it is a matter of how still you can keep the body on top of the bike. I’ve seen new riders bounce along much more while sitting down to pedal than I do standing up so it obviously isn’t about the position as much as the technique.
How can I get rid of pedal bob?
The two common ways to minimize pedal bob are to use an efficient bike and to sit down to pedal. When you ride a rigid bike, use suspension lock out or a super efficient linkage system, you minimize the input from the body movement into the bike. When you sit down you help to minimize the amount of movement your get from the body.
How does a rigid bike prevent you from standing up to pedal?
When you ride a rigid bike, use suspension lock out or a super efficient linkage system, you minimize the input from the body movement into the bike. When you sit down you help to minimize the amount of movement your get from the body. And while both of these things work, we’re also told that we need to avoid standing pedaling.
