How To Use And Maintain Mountain Bikes

Many friends often suffer from backaches, butt pains, etc. when they first started riding mountain bikes. This is actually related to the riding posture of the mountain bike. So what is the correct riding posture for mountain bikes? The support points during riding are generally saddles, pedals, and handles. The reason why most people feel uncomfortable after riding a mountain bike is because the sitting posture on the saddle is not correct, and the weight of the body should not be concentrated on the saddle. Instead, use your feet and wrists to effectively disperse your weight, and always look forward; there will be a variety of postures during the ride, and the standing posture is often used when overtaking, jumping, and descending. At this time, you should stand on your feet. On the pedals, the weight is evenly distributed, just like standing on the ground; and in the starting phase, the higher the pedal position, the better to ensure the stability of the car body, but when starting on a slope, you can start laterally and adjust the gear ratio; It should also be noted that when making a brake emergency stop, you should let your hands relax, and you can use three-finger or four-finger brakes.

Mountain bikes have many parts, and in addition to special applications, maintenance is extremely important. You can scrub the bike before and after each ride to effectively find the integrity of each component; ensure that the screws in each part are tightened. If the frame and other parts are deformed or cracked, they need to be replaced in time; check whether the brakes are effective in advance, update the lubricating oil in time to ensure the smoothness of each part, reduce friction and protect the parts; ensure that the air pressure in the tire is appropriate before each departure, etc.
