Mountain Bikes - What You Should Really Know About This Sport Equipment

2009-09-21T00:18:00.001-07:00

Mountain bikes have been designed for cycling in tough terrains. This makes it vastly different from regular bikes that you may have owned. These bikes have been designed to be versatile in the sense that you can use these bike to negotiate rocky mountains, hilly areas and steep slopes which you cannot do using a regular bike.

If you use regular bike for mountain biking, then you will end up in a tough spot. Hence the first task is to ensure that the bike you are purchasing is regular mountain bike.

This is because mountain bikes have been built to withstand pressures when biking on a difficult terrain. There are different types of mountain bikes that you can choose from.

These are the cross country with little suspension and a light frame, which makes it easy for you to bike for long hours, and the variety with more suspension, which adds weight to the bike, that can help you cycle on rough terrain. The other varieties are free ride and down hill mountain bikes that are used for racing in steep inclines.

The angles of the frame decide whether the bike is used for climbing or steep declines. Steep angles in various parts like the head tube and the seat tube ensures that pedalling upwards will be easy, whereas, angles that tend towards zero ensure better handling and stability in steep declines.

There are many different types of suspension that you will find on these bikes. One variety is the full suspension mountain bike in which there are suspensions on every part possible.

The others are rigid, hard-tail, soft-tail and dual suspension. Most mountain biking enthusiasts prefer the hard-tail suspension. There are two types of brakes which are the V-shaped brakes and the disc brakes.

The disc brakes are in popular demand because of the control it offers the rider and the reduced maintenance required as it lasts for a very long time.

Mountain Biking Accessories

2009-09-02T16:25:00.003-07:00

As you start very new with mountain biking you feel great when you get into a bike store to purchase your first mountain bike and also see all of the other accessories available that you would need when start off with your first riding.

Once can find different mountain biking products and other related accessories that can be bought. The salesmen do attempt to sell anything that they can sell but, for people who consider money, it is not important to look at what is cool instead what is need for making your ride more enjoyable and safe. Initially using these accessories, you feel pleasant when you start your ride.

One of the most important bike accessories that one can purchase is a bike helmet. A bike should never be ridden without a helmet. Many a people have faced serious injuries on their head which could have easily been avoided by putting on a helmet. The helmets that come for a mountain biking are stylish and also comfortable enough that anyone riding the trails would wear it.

Irrespective of the season you plan to ride, there are chances that your hand takes a beating. Starters usually have a death grip for their handle bars that is very harsh for the hands. Your hands would be the first ones to hit the ground when one happens to crash and at some point everyone crashes. As these gloves take your beating, mountain gloves would be a must needed accessory.

After enjoying the initial bike rides, you would start finding very uncomfortable with your rear end. Though your body would adjust, it is great to have bike shorts as they keep the rear end at a minimum. You get more comfortable shorts that add to the bike ride on a mountain.

Picking your shoes for mountain bike would depend on the kind riding you prefer and also the type of pedals your bicycle has. You can go for shoes that would accept the special cleat for the pedals if your bike comes with clipless pedals.

Being Comfortable, durability and also a strong sole for better and efficient pedaling would be the ideal qualities of a nice mountain bike shoe. Also, ensure you pick the correct shoe that would match with the terrain riding as well.

A trail can be run off in just few seconds, if you get something into your eye. Use clear lensed or sun glasses to keep your eyes and also protect them from the debris and the wind. Remember to buy non-breakable glasses whenever you plan to buy glasses.

It is always a good idea to get along with you a hydration pack or water bottle. You dehydrate very easily and hence should carry water with you always and drink it on the ride and make sure that your body is hydrated properly at all the times of the ride.

Getting stuck in the on the trail or in the woods would be very easy if you don't carry a correct repair kit for your bike. It is safe to have safe bicycle clothing, a multi-tool for tire levers, bike repair and also a patch kit for having your flat tires fixed up.

Mountain Biking Safety Tips- Thrills, Yes- Spills, No

2009-09-02T16:25:00.001-07:00

There is no such thing as a completely safe sport. Even the most gifted athletes can have something unexpected happen and have their careers ruined in an instant. And, while mountain biking is certainly one of the most enjoyable outdoor activities, it is also one of the most dangerous. Anyone thinking about taking up mountain biking will benefit from some basic mountain biking safety tips.

The single most important of the mountain biking safety tips is that you need to have adequate mountain biking gear, from your helmet down to the tires on your bike. Buy the correct gear, and then keep it in proper working order. And make sure your gear is up to the terrain on which you will be biking. Bikes are designed specifically to handle certain types of terrain, and you will be sorry if you ask something of your bike that it isn’t built to provide.

The second of the mountain biking safety tips is to ride only the trails with which you are familiar; if you want to try a new trail only do it with someone else who knows it well. Wait until you’ve tackled it a couple of times with company before trying it on your own.

Staying In Control Of Your Bike

Another of the more essential mountain biking safety tips is that you need to learn to control your speed. Find an average speed at which you are comfortable, and which will allow you to keep control of your bike even when you’re confronted with an unforeseen obstacle or a change in the condition of the trail.

Maintaining control of your bike at all times is the last of the absolutely critical mountain biking safety tips. Many bikers, especially those who have been at it for a while, get lazy when they are out on the trails and let their attention wander. It is almost as if they are letting the bikes do the thinking while they are just along for the ride. They will usually end up going too fast, because of their misguided confidence in themselves and their bikes. By doing so, they are asking to be involved in crashes, and unfortunately may involve other riders as well.

If you find yourself out on an unfamiliar trail, there is no need to try to master it in one ride. You can always walk you bike over the more difficult sections until you know you can handle their terrain, and dismount at blind corners if necessary. At the very least, decrease your speed. It’s the only way you can be certain that anyone out of sight around the bend will not plow right in to you.

Always ride within yourself. Master one type of terrain before moving on to the next, and allow your biking skills to mature naturally. Nothing will end your mountain biking career more quickly than wiping out on a trail you weren’t ready for and seriously injuring yourself.

Most mountain bikers will agree that the risks of mountain biking are nothing compared to its rewards, but you must promise yourself that when you feel the adrenaline pumping, you won’t respond by taking unnecessary chances. Elevated adrenaline is to be expected in a sport as thrilling as mountain biking. Thrills are great; the spills brought about by not following any mountain biking safety tips while chasing those thrills are what you want to avoid.

Mountain Bike Riding Tips

2009-09-01T10:00:00.001-07:00

Mountain bike riding has become a very popular recreational activity. There are many places to ride from trails to lake shores to forests, and yes, mountains. Being prepared for riding will make your riding adventure more enjoyable. Here are some mountain bike riding tips for the beginner. Advanced riders may also find this information useful.

On Your Mark...

- The first important tip that any rider should know is to have proper equipment, such as a helmet. Even if you don't buy another accessory, make sure you don't skimp on your helmet.

- Another accessory, but not required, are riding gloves. If you are riding for any extended length of time, they will come in handy. You will be gripping hard on the handle grips at times and you will need extra padding. This will help keep your hands from getting tired. They also offer some protection when and if you fall.

- Padded cycling shorts are good too. They will increase your comfort on the bike for those long rough rides.

- A cycling jersey can be beneficial since they are loose fitting and usually have pockets that have zippers or velcro.

- A good pair of cycling/hiking shoes can make or break your day. Sometimes you may need to carry your bike over some terrains that you can't ride on and you want good gripping shoes.

- Eye protection, like sunglasses or clear unbreakable lenses will keep bugs, dust and other debris out of your eyes.

- Water is an essential item. Don't go without this one. You can dehydrate very quickly when cycling. Also if you are biking in the sun, use sunscreen.

Get Ready...

- The type of mountain bike you ride needs to be designed for the type of riding you are going to do.

- The body frame of your bike must fit your unique size and proportion.

- The brakes must be more powerful than a standard bike to keep the wheel from moving when hopping on uneven ground.

- Since you are riding on dirt, mountain bike tires need to be knobby not skinny. This ensures traction on rugged terrain.

- Your bike should be checked regularly and any repairs made that are necessary before you take your mountain bike out for a ride.

A prepared rider will have a bike that fits well and works properly. This will give you greater comfort and a more enjoyable riding experience, and help prevent unnecessary pain and injuries.

Get Set...

Do your part to preserve and enhance the mountain biker's access and image by observing the following rules:

- Obey all of the rules. They were designed in part for your safety.

- Don't damage our ecosystem. If you are riding and damaging a wet trail, this not only leads to erosion but also will lead to trail closures.

- Ride only on open trails. Closed trails are closed for a reason and riding on one is illegal. Don't do it. It just gives the mountain bikers a bad reputation.

- Pay attention to the dirt beneath you. If it is soft consider other riding options, but stay on existing trails and don't make new ones.

Go...

Hopefully these mountain bike-riding tips will get you started happily and safely on your way to a great experience. Now that you are ready... Go!

Wheel Truing

2009-04-29T18:30:00.000-07:00

Wheel Truing

Wheel truing is actually something that is very easy
to do. Even if you have no experience with mountain
biking or truing a wheel, it doesn't take a rocket
scientist to accomplish it.

The first thing to do is make sure that none of your
spokes are loose. To check, grab each spoke in turn
and try to shake it back and forth. If the spoke
wobbles, or makes pinging and grating noises, it's
loose. If it's loose, add tension to the spoke by
turning the spokey anti-clockwise with your finger
and thumb pressure.

Keep turning and shaking until the noise is gone
and the spoke doesn't wobble or move. Move on to
the next spoke until you've gone all the way around
the wheel and checked them all.

Now, it's time to see just how true the wheel actually
is. Turn your bike upside down then spin the wheel
to see where it comes closest to rubbing on the
brake.

You may need to rotate the wheel backwards then
forwards to locate the middle of the bulge on the
wheel. Tighten the spokes which run on to the
other side of the rim. If those spokes are already
tight, you'll need to loosen a few of the spokes
which run to the bulge side of the hub.

Truing a wheel is easier than you may think, although
it can be a little tough with some wheels. If
you need to loosen spokes, be very careful that
you don't break them. They can be very tough
to loosen on older mountain bikes.

Types Of Mountain Biking

2009-04-28T18:30:00.000-07:00

Image by BikePortland.org via Flickr

Types Of Mountain Biking

As a sport or a hobby, mountain biking can be split
into 9 different categories. These categories are
very versed in what they offer. They are:

1. BMX
BMX is a style where the bikes offer 20 inch wheels.
These bikes are commonly used at skate parks or
with dirt jumps. Because of their smaller wheels
and shorter wheel bases, BMX bikes are much easier
to perform tricks and stunts with.

2. Cross country
This type of mountain biking involves riding your
bike up and down hills. Although it's the least
extreme form of mountain biking, most cross country
riders are very fit and go on long rides.

3. Cyclo cross
This is a cross between road and mountain biking.
These riders have to go over obstacles, cross through
rivers, and race on and off the course.

4. Dirt jumping
Dirt jumping involves jumping the bike over large
man made dirt jumps then doing tricks while they
are in the air. These jumps are normally close
together so riders can go over six or more jumps
in one run, gaining a flow to give them more
speed for bigger jumps.

5. Downhill
Downhill mountain biking involves racing downhill
as fast as possible. This type of riding is very
intense and extreme, offering riders the chance
for ultimate thrills and excitement.

6. Freeride
Free riding involves finding the perfect line down
the mountain using all of the terrain to express
yourself. These competitions are very popular,
as riders can express themselves any way they see
fit.

7. Single speed
No to be confused with fixed gears, this is a form
of cross country biking that's done using a bike
with only one gear and fewer components. The idea
with single speed is simplicity. The straight
chain line will provide efficient pedaling, and
the lack of components mean less mechanical
problems and a lighter bike.

8. Street and urban
This type of riding involves riding in urban areas,
ledges, and other types of man made obstacles.
Riders of street and urban biking will do tricks
as well, such as stalls and grinds.

9. Trails
Trials are considered an aspect of mountain biking,
although the bikes used look nothing like mountain
bikes. They use 20 or 26 inch wheels and sport
small, low frames. Trail riders will hop and
jump their bikes over obstacles, which requires
an extreme amount of balance and concentration.

Things To Take With You

Things To Take With You

When you decide to go mountain biking on a long days
ride, there are several things that you should take
with you. Below, you'll find the essentials that
you should have with you.

1. Back pack - a camelback or mule is a good idea here.
2. Waterproof - the type that packs down very small is
the best to have.
3. Water - you need at least 2 liters for a long ride.
4. Food - sandwiches and energy bars are the best to
have with you to eat.
5. Pump - take a good one with you, as the small mini
pumps are a waste of time and money.
6. Tire levers if you need them.
7. Two small inner tubes.
8. A piece of medium emery paper about 3 inches long
and an inch wide.
9. A cut up tube of Crest for pinch punctures or to use
as a tire boot.
10. A carpet needle.
11. A card of linen thread to repair torn tires.
12. A good chain splitter
13. At least two black pins. You should tape these
to the inside lid of your puncture repair kit.
14. A set of allen wrenches. The penknife style is
the best to get.
15. A small screwdriver.
16. A first aid kit that includes an elastic bandage.
17. A Spokey spoke key.
18. A felt tip pen that will show on inner tubes.
19. Some lunch and phone money.

If you take the above with you, you should have no
problems with long mountain bike rides. Everything on
the above list will serve a purpose, all you have to do
is give them a chance. If you've ever been mountain
biking and ran into problems in the past, you should
know first hand just how important the proper supplies
can actually be.

The History Of Mountain Biking

2009-04-26T18:30:00.000-07:00

Image via Wikipedia

The History Of Mountain Biking

There is a lot of history and information out there
in regards to the history and origins of mountain
biking, with some being recognized and some that
depends on who has the best firm of public relations.

Some say that mountain biking began with the Buffalo
Soldiers, which was a turn of the century infantry
who customized bikes to carry gear over the rough and
tough terrain. They began in August of 1896, over
the course of 800 miles. Their mission was simple -
to test bikes for military use in the toughest of
terrain.

Others say it was the Velo Cross Club of France
that started mountain biking. The club was comprised
of 20 young bikers from Paris, who between 1951 and
1956 developed a sport that resembles present day
mountain biking.

It could have also been John Finley Scott, who was
the first mountain biker in the U.S. In 1953 he
constructed what he called a "Woodsie Bike", using
a diamond frame, balloon tires, flat handle bars,
and cantilever brakes. He was more than 20 years
ahead of his time. Even though he remained an off
road enthusiast, there were many at that time who
didn't share that same passion.

Today, we believe that the history of the mountain
bike is most apparent in Northern California. There
are a few areas that claim to be the first community
for mountain biking, although each and every history
book will tell you Marin County.

The sport of mountain biking has taken many twists
and turns over the last several hundred years. Even
though there are many that say different things about
the history and the beginning, we know one thing
for sure - one thing has led to another and the
sport of mountain biking was born.

The Bunny Hop

2009-04-25T18:30:00.000-07:00

Image by ericfoltz via Flickr

The Bunny Hop

In mountain biking and even BMX riding, the bunny hop
is a bike trick that involved the rider lifting the
bike up and over an obstacle while remaining in
motion on the bike. Experienced bikers can lift
their bikes in excess of a meter or one and a half
feet. The world record for the bunny hop stands at
4 feet.

The bunny hop is executed by approaching an obstacle
with speed, lifting the front of the bike then
leveling the pedals. If the bike has full or front
suspension, pre-load the shocks by pressing down
on the bike just before you reach the obstacle.

Once the shocks have been pre-loaded, the rider
will spring upwards, pulling up with the hands and
feet at the same time. Toe straps or clipless
pedals help with this, although if plain platform
pedals are used, it's still possible. As the biker
lifts, the hands will roll through twisting the
throttle. After the object is cleared, push down
on the bike then absorb the impact with the arms
and the legs.

It's often times a misconception that a bunny hop
without toe clips is achieved by rotating forward
on the handlebars. Lifting up on a mountain bike
while standing next to it is quite difficult to
hold on to the handle bars.

The bunny hop is very popular with mountain biking,
as experienced riders can make it look a lot easier
than it actually is. New mountain bikers should
practice a lot before they actually attempt the
hop, as doing it on a bigger obstacle can easily
be quite dangerous.

With proper practice, the bunny hop can be achieved,
even for beginners. All you have to do is give it
some time and effort, and you'll be pulling off the
bunny hop just like the pro's do it.

Technical Down Hill Mountain Biking

2009-04-24T18:30:00.000-07:00

Technical Down Hill Mountain Biking

The key to down hilling is relaxing your upper body.
The steeper and rockier the hill is, the more tightly
the rider tends to put a death grip on the handle
bars. Most riders tend to slow down as they approach
obstacles such as rocks, then apply both brakes.

If you don't apply your brakes, the rock will stop
your wheel. This isn't good, as the rock can throw
you off balance and completely kill any type of
momentum you have.

Relaxed riders won't slow down as much. The
combination of extra momentum, no front braking at
crucial moments will allow the wheel to bump over
the rock and continue onward with little effort.

If you are going slow, it's essential to release
your brakes as much as possible when you approach
an obstacle. This may entail going a bit faster,
although the result is much less painful. On
steep hills, going really slow will always make
things much more difficult.

One exception to this is a very tight turn. If a
hop is out of the question, you'll need to slow
down to allow the smallest radius of turning circle.
This kind of thing takes practice, although track
standing isa great way to improve on your balance.

Although down hilling is one of the most extreme
methods of mountain biking, it can also be one of
the most dangerous. If you're new to mountain biking
you shouldn't start out with down hilling, as it
takes a lot of practice.

With a bit of practice and knowing the right
techniques, technical down hilling is something you'll
find fun. It can provide quite a rush and a lot
of excitement for those who seek adventure.
