Approaching the Nathon climb, where the grade goes 4 to 8 per cent, I shift to the middle ring and largest sprocket before the slope, since shifting under load risks a dropped chain; its lowest gear then holds 70 to 80 rpm at 9 km/h without dismounting. Spinning above 70 rpm in a low gear beats grinding a big gear that wrecks the knees, the mistake most inexperienced riders make. On the descent I shift up progressively to meet the flat south coast ready to pedal. Most riders take the Nathon climb in too big a gear and wreck their knees; drop to the low gear before the slope and spin above 70 rpm - that is the trick. https://samui-bikes.com/en/bicycle-rental-koh-samui/rent-giant-talon-3/how-to-use-giant-talon-3-gears-on-samui-hills/ Mon, 09 Nov 2026 23:02:50 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://video.liberta.vip https://video.liberta.vip/lazy-static/avatars/f8a53962-73f3-4feb-93dd-38fb84ee1e18.png https://video.liberta.vip/videos/watch/744898c4-1cd9-4159-a61e-e92a709bb7b4 All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://video.liberta.vip/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
