At this point, yeah. After about two years of riding only SS, I have lost patience for long seated climbs. Actually at this point I’m mainly running and walking, so I’m losing patience for seated exercise in general.
I do appreciate that the standing work of SS requires more core as well as upper body work. It also gives me more time out of the saddle, which is more comfortable.
Now both bikes have a rear cluster but I rarely use anything larger than the 16t I would run as SS. With biking becoming an occasional event, I can probably be content with SS and just choose the route based on the workout I want.
