Things to Prepare For  Bike Adventures

Riding a mountain bike (MTB) is called a challenging adventure. Everything is capable of adrenaline, a pounding heart and as if in this world there’s only us, bikes and tracks. as if we will enter another world.

It took hours of high flying in order to control the bike properly and safely in a variety of high-speed tracks. It takes skill and skill can not be instant, we get without playing … playing … and playing in nature. Go cycling more often the more skilled we control the bike and know what we do when encounter various types of tracks. Before you start mountain biking adventure in the wild, make sure the conditions in the state of the body fit and healthy. Forget this activity if we are in a state does not fit or sick. Check brake function something perfect, whether the brakes were still thick canvas and does not leak brake fluid (hydraulic brakes), see also whether the brakes were still thick rubber (v brake). Wet chain with lubricating oil. When facing a steep uphill track make sure the teeth on the front and rear light position. Front blade smallest crank, and the rear blade greatest seprocket. If too much light can be adjusted with the stroke. If our bodies are too backward so the front tires will likely rise and we will fall. Keep the body leaning forward, to make the front tires stay flat on the track.

Pedal slowly, do not hurry or anxious, enjoy three feet by three feet up the track we wrote through. If the derivative hit quite long and steep, making sure our weight a little backward. This meant that we should balance the gravity force to the fore and rear tires remain on the track . Keep bike in our control. Look far ahead, not the front tire. Look carefully at the track, if there are rocks, roots that crossed, in a niche, muddy soil, soil covered with moss and so on.

Pressing hard rear brake lever would only make the rear tires and the twisted rear tire lost cause contractions in the soil, so the bike difficult to control.

Play nice mountain bike but also risky and dangerous, then we need to wear a helmet, elbow protectors, knee and gloves. If something happens on the road, such as a flat tire or broken chain, hoping to bring the equipment just friends, if not, then we will lead our bikes along the tracks to find the garage, or car to the city charter. If we want to assemble or buy a mountain bike, make sure first what kind of bike you want adapted to the type of game and what path to go through. If we only want to play in mild off-road tracks, in and out of the dirt road in villages. So our choice is the type of bike cross-country (XC) with a front shock only (hard tail)

If we dream of a bike that is expected to be played in all fields, through the rise and fall is not too extreme then the choice of all mountain bike (PM) with full suspension on the front and the rear is perfect.

Whereas if we want a more exciting challenge, down the hill or mountain in a high speed adrenaline, leaped high mound, or drop off 1 to 2 meters, then bike option we raft is Free ride (FR) or downhill (DH).

We’ve been able to assemble a bike that we want. This is better assembling a mountain bike, can be adjusted with our budget. For beginners, the first time to play bike, a suitable type of bike is XC. Usually different prices to determine the type of material, weight or lightness, durability and comfort of a frame or mountain bike components.

Is useful to look first at bike shops, be picky, browsing the internet, asked friends , who had already been playing bike frames and components about what is good and in accordance with the budget we have.

Assembling the bike will usually make the budget swelled, because usually we would choose the frame and good components. If it does not want to happen, the only option is to buy a mountain bike intact (full bike) who lived and the way we ride.

GPS also tells us the average cycling speed (average speed), maximum speed in the derivative (max speed), time to move (moving time), distance (Odo-meter), quiet time / rest (stop time), the contour of the track, height of land from the sea surface and so on.

Choosing a Mountain Bike

The question that often appears in my mind at the time wanted to have a MTB (Mountain Bike) is “what will be the best bike I buy??”. After searching for information, buy some magazines my bike more confused because so many brands on offer. With a price range that is very far I rate very similar that I like? Until the most expensive prices were largely determined by the strength and the ability of a bike with a variety of materials used.

Another question then arises, what if I was not satisfied with the bike I have? Will I be able to easily increase (upgrade) with new components easily? The more confused when he learned the technology development at a very fast bike. Call it the first brake with Cantilever (V-brakes) have changed to the disc (disc brakes); or front forks (forks) which currently has an average use of suspension; not rigid like the old bike. Or also component “drive train” (another term bicycle gear) is very fast progress. One last question: “if I buy a bike package (full bike) did cost less? What about the development of increasingly sophisticated technology ….? Did I make a better bike assembly (custom) only?

In my observations do, through a survey on the internet, read magazines and ask friends who have long engaged in the bicycle world I finally concluded that a great many improvements in the bicycle world. Among them are materials, components and suspension. At first I studied the “frame”; was the frame material is basically the same by all manufacturers. Price range is given by the manufacturer but with form and function almost the same. Other components are also nearly the same. Frame USD price range.$ 50 to $ 3000 makes me want to know more and learn it. After a long struggle with the data and the thoughts in my mind I finally concluded that to build a bicycle assembly, or “custom” There are 4 things to consider: 1) To what this bike would I use? 2) How much money will I spend? 3) How long will I get? and 4) What color do I want?
