Giant city trooper with double suspension.I am still searching this type of bike second hand.Unfortunately i live in greece.Biking in the city in greece is like you ride a horse.Very bad road network.I hope one day to enjoy the city trooper.
Disk brakes are better i ended up putting my head through a windscreen getting a massive gash to my head and a broken collar bone because it was raining one evening and the spray and oil off the road stopped my rim brakes from working i just couldn't stop thankfully i didn't feel a thing i was out cold the only good thing about rim brakes is they are only a few pounds to replace
When i pedal on my mtb theres no noise but when i stop pedaling theres a squeaking sound like coming from the breaks anyone know why and how to fix it?
Because I have limited knowledge of bikes I can't do this project maybe you can Gears were meant to be put on a wheel for you to exercise your arms same as a leg arm Exerciser So when you move the wheel with your arms you start at a light weight and after a certain number of turns you increase the gears strength so your arms moves a heavier weight This is how people get muscles They lift small weights and then heavy weights The advantage of wheel with gears is you don't need the weights and can put on muscles anywhere Let me know if you understand Thanks for the video
I don't have any problem with the modulation and braking power on my rimbrake road and gravel bikes. I just had to set them up correctly. Although I have hydraulic disc brakes on my mountain bikes due to worse conditions like water and mud on the trails in the forest, which can eat up the rim fast on the rimbrake bikes.
I’m thinking about getting a bike. Do you recommend disc brakes or rim brakes? I will be riding in neighborhood on pavement. No hills. No racing. No marathons. And what is the maintenance on disc brakes?
disc brakes all the way. Rim brakes were always way too inconsistent, especially in changing weather. Wet rims make for a very unsafe ride. Not to mention how quickly the brake pads wear down on rim systems. Rim brakes were good for a non-practical and non-safety era such as the one in which they were made, but now, we actually got smarter and no longer ride like neanderthals (mostly).
I've used a hub-based power meter. CycleOps. I believe I will start using it again, to build my fitness starting with zone 2 training. I will use this method until I purchase a new bike with modern technology and geometry. I'm using a 2007 rim brake bike. It will do the job. Thanks for sharing
Hello from NYC~There is a an easy toe clip mod that is a good balance between being ‘clipped-in’ while being able to wear regular sneakers. A great option for the more serious cyclist commuter!
Carrying 5 pounds in your backpack isn’t the same as gaining 5 pounds which would likely have some added muscle weight. What if I just gained 5 pounds of muscle in my thighs??
Before i listen to this video at 16 years old on a Saturday and most Sundays we used to cycle Ranelagh Dublin 6 to Gorey Co Wexford 85 Km each way me on my Dawes Mirage 531 tubing others on different makes this was in the 1950 s not a lot of traffic 5 x 2 gears Campag 27" mavics Brooks B17 saddle loved the ride in Gorey we at once turned back for home we ate our Jam sandwiches on the move and drank Ribena from our bottles we averaged 23 to 25 MPH i wish i could turn the clock back to those days those rides stood to me when i went on to race thank you now i will listen .
Climbing and headwinds are two instances where you REALLY feel the disadvantage of tiny wheels. If you haven't ridden a bike with 16" wheels it's shocking how much less powerful you feel than on a road bike when you encounter either of those obstacles.
