improving road climbing
Apart from climbing intervals and weight training how else can I improve my climbing on road?

Re: improving road climbing
Lighter weight wheelset such as mavic ssc sl. Stiffer cranks and bb such as fsa team issue's or dura ace 9 spd, and if your rich, go for 10 spd. Having a bike right at the 15lb limit really makes a difference too
 Good luck! |

Optimize your power to weight ratio. And make your bike as light as possible. |

Re: improving road climbing
1. Ride on mountain roads.
2. Lose weight while maintaining power (see number 1). 3. When you are really lean and mean spend some extra cash on lightening the bike (mainly bling! factor). Oh, and genetics do help. Beyond that, no secrets and/or shortcuts to climbing well.  Enjoy!
