[QUOTE="Rock Monster, post: 30393, member: 5"] I don't think I mentioned it earlier but a great way to conserve energy as far as the transition between standing and sitting or sitting and standing is concerned, is to use the rise and fall of trail contour to get into these positions. By doing this you are allowing gravity to work with you instead of fighting it by using your muscle strength. This means that when you hit a pot hole or a elevation drop in the trail just allow the bike to drop beneath you so that you are now standing. Then when you want to sit wait for a spot that rises and allow the bike to come back up to you. You would be surprised how well this technique works when you need to conserve in order to do 100+ miles days of tight woods single track. Give it a try and let me know what you think. It works great for me. [/QUOTE]
