I would like to get some of your opinions about crank grabing and pedal grabing. I can do both, but I just want to see what you guys and girls prefer, and why.
pedal grabs… definately pedal grabs. Jumping up from your cranks is pretty tough to do. Besides, when you jump up from a crankgrab I find that you tend to land where ever the wheel takes you. A pedal grab allows you to be more precise if say you are jumping up onto a tight wall or a jersey barrier.
…Ever since I learned to pedal grab I haven’t crank grabed once. for one, peadal grabs do allow you get onto small obsticals, where it is sort of hard trying to get up onto a post with your crank. Also crank grabbing really messes up your cranks after a while.
i have never tried pedal climbing, i just do crank climbing, and when i have done a pedal grab i’ve always just swung my crank up and turned it into a crank grab.
