It would have been okay to end that sentence with a preposition.

I’d like to stand up to pedal, but I’m still quite large and I’m

Not to worry. The chain tension cannot exceed what it takes to move the
bike up the hill. It matters not whether this comes from standing on the
pedals or sitting and using leg muscles.

Thanks, Leo.

I've always liked Churchill's phrase:
"This is a bit of balderdash up with which I don't intend to put."
I hope my riding becomes better than my grammar.

And thanks to all of you for the good comments.

Bob

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You cannot put more moment on the crank arms than it takes to propel the
bike up the hill.
