Great tips. I used your technique today and was able to climb at least 5 climbs that I never thought I would make! I love it when something so simple works so effective! Thanks

Is my front fork meant to be locked? My problem is that I keep thinking my chain is going to slip and I'll crash.

@3GBlog Whether you want to lock your front fork or not depends on the terrain, but generally, for rougher and trickier terrain I would leave it unlocked so that your front wheel follows the contours of the ground better. That should give you better front end control. Lock your fork when you're riding up smoother climbs. Everyone's idea of a 'rough' or 'smooth' trail is different, so just experiment with locked and unlocked on the same climbs to determine what works best for you.

Thanks Chris!! I am going to try this out! I have a particular climb that I am struggling with, its quite a technical trail and I just cant make it up in one go. I have to stop and get off in sections so I will give it a go with chest and nose and see what happens
