- Welcome to another edition of Ask GC Anything. But as it's Christmas, this is gonna be a very special edition of Ask GC Anything. It's gonna be a rapid fire round only. 25 questions, yes, 25 questions, all rattled off as quickly as I can, inspired a couple of weeks ago by Jon Cannings when he wore that aero helmet. And we're gonna dispense with the aero helmet. Go old school, but here we go. One, two, three, or is it three, two, one, here we go. Stephen Lennon, that has to be the fastest rapid quick fire round ever. Some lungs on Jon. I don't think he had to breathe. I agree. Next up is this from toasty bear. Should socks be inside or outside big tights? I spent a lot of money on both, and don't know which one to flaunt fashionably. If you're a cross rider, outside. If you're a road rider, inside. Next up is this from Kevin Martin. I tried to cycle up a steep hill. Out of the saddle my rear wheel lost traction. In the saddle, my front wheel kept bouncing and I couldn't steer properly. Is there a technique I could use to help? Distribute your weight as evenly as you can Kevin on the bike. The steeper the gradient, the more evenly you need to distribute your weight, to make sure you've got traction on both back and the front wheel. The steeper the climb, you'd have to put your weight further back on the bike, and that way you should balance things. Trial and error, but think about where your body weight is on the bike. Thomas Hawley, how do you feel about Embrocations, use them or not? If yes, what do you like?
