I can't climb to save myself but I climb significantly better on the TT than I do on my roadie - even with the disc etc I still climb better but the roadie has standard chainset whereas the trek has the Q's
One thing I have done is to use the small chain ring much more efficiently. I've noticed that dropping to 39/17 and keeping the chain straight is much more effective than mashing a massive gear. I generally don't push massive gear and I'm quite happy spinning and only dropping to a big gear when its needed.
i feel quicker and more comfortable climbing on the Q-rings on the TT too. When i move back onto the road bike i'm quicker on the hills but feel like i struggle!
