If you dream of riding a bike in comfort, or if you want it to easily overcome off-road and accelerate to great speed, then you need to purchase a mountain bike. Here are some tips on how to choose the right one.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the type of mountain bike, which directly depends on what terrain you plan to ride it.
Step 2
Find a bike that has a comfortable and reliable frame made of quality materials that play an important role in the entire structure.
Step 3
Choose equipment with rigid forks that are lightweight, low cost, but very reliable nonetheless.
Step 4
When choosing wheels, pay attention to its components - tires, tubes and rim.
When choosing a rim, pay attention to the fact that it has a double wall and special shiny caps, the weight of the rim is also of great importance, namely, the less the better. As for tires, there are several options, such as smooth rubber, which is designed for driving on asphalt only, semi-slick for both asphalt and ground, and studded tires, which are designed for driving on snow and ice. Choose a tube that clearly matches the width of your tire.
Step 5
Pay special attention to the brakes; it is better to choose disc brakes that will not fail in damp and muddy conditions.
Step 6
When choosing a handlebar, saddle and pedals, pay attention to the quality of the material.
Step 7
Be sure to choose the right footwear for yourself. It should be comfortable and maximize efficiency by recruiting previously unused muscle groups. When you have a mountain bike that suits you in all respects, you can get the most out of your ride.
