On the front page under ascending and tri-bike technique, Dan maintains that one should always be in the aerobars unless you are standing for climbing or descending where you need to grasp the brakes. He states that "But the reverse is also true. If your hip angle is too obtuse you also suffer a loss of power. Yes, sitting up while you're climbing feels better. But what happens to your power?"
On a long steep hill (slow speeds) I'm usually out on the basebar... If I don't want to be in the aero bars 100% of the time while climbing, would I be better off with a sloped basebar so that my hip angle is not too obtuse?
