Learn how to take your own measurements - use a measuring tape and a level to accurately measure the various components of your bike. When it comes to mountain biking, finding the right frame size for your body is essential. To ensure you get a bike that fits perfectly and offers you the best riding experience possible, it's important to take accurate measurements of your body and compare them with a mountain bike frame sizing chart. This article will provide step by step instructions on how to measure a mountain bike frame. First, you'll need to measure your height and inseam length. To measure your height, stand straight with your back against a wall and use a measuring tape or ruler to measure from the top of your head down to the floor. For the inseam measurement, stand up straight and have someone help you measure from your crotch to the floor. Make sure to record both measurements in inches. Next, you'll need to measure your mountain bike frame size. To do this, you'll use a measuring tape and a level, as well as the height and inseam measurements you recorded earlier. Start by measuring the top tube length of the frame, which is the distance between the seat tube and head tube. Then measure the seat tube length, which runs from the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. Finally, measure the standover height, which is the measurement from where your crotch rests on top of the frame when standing over it with feet apart. Once you have all of your measurements, you can compare them to a mountain bike frame sizing chart. This will help you determine what size frame is best for your body type and riding style. It's important to note that every brand has their own sizing charts so make sure to consult the appropriate chart for your specific bike. Taking these measurements can seem intimidating at first, but with practice and a few helpful tips it can become second nature. This article has provided an overview of how to measure a mountain bike frame and how to compare your measurements to the appropriate sizing chart. With accurate measurements, you'll be well on your way to finding the perfect fit for your next mountain biking adventure.Good luck!
Attaches the handlebars to the bike, or, more precisely, to the steerer tube. Stems are designed differently for different headset types (i.e. threaded or threadless). They are also sized to suit different diameter handlebars and in the case of threadless setups, different diameter steerer tubes. Stems play a key role in setting your riding position. You can adjust the reach to the handlebars by changing the stem’s length. Separately, you can move the stem vertically to change your riding position. Stems for road bikes typically come in lengths ranging from 80 to 140mm. Mountain bikes have moved to significantly shorter stems than this. If you need a stem much shorter than 80mm on a road bike, that is a sign the bike doesn’t fit you. All else equal, a shorter stem will make for quicker handling. If you are buying a new bike and you know you need a different stem length, the bike store should be willing to trade your stem for something they have in stock. Another characteristic of stems is their angle. Threadless stems commonly come in angles around -10 degrees, sometimes more. You can flip a threadless stem so that it increases the height of the bar. There are also angle-adjustable stems made, so the rider may change bar positions without removing the handlebars or changing the stem, although their length typically can’t be adjusted. Trifox also has some stem accessories: Road Bicycle Handlebar Stem ABS100 is made of 6061 Aluminum Alloy, with 7° up rise, suit for 31.8 Handlebar and 28.6mm Fork, for Mountain Bike (MTB) / Road Bike.
Peilin Hubs refer to the bearing drums of bicycles, which are divided into double-bearing types and four-bearing types. Peilin hub is a transliteration, which is derived from foreign bicycle manufacturing technology. The bearing hub has the characteristics of good sliding and easy maintenance. Ordinary Hubs are loose beads, such as most of Shimano’s products and civilian-grade Hubs. The Peilin Hub is a bearing drum. The standard bearing is installed in the drum shell, which makes the rotation smoother and quieter. There is no need for adjustment and maintenance, and the waterproof and dustproof performance is higher. The front drums of Peilin hubs are generally double-bearing, and the rear drums are divided into two types: double-bearing and four-bearing. The strength of the four-bearing is higher. Bearing hubs are divided into double bearing types and four bearing types. The front drum is often double-bearing, and the rear drum is divided into two types: double-bearing and four-bearing, and the strength of the four-bearing are higher. Whether the rear hub is four-bearing or double-bearing, it is actually two bearing bearings. The other two bearings in the four-bearing hub are mainly used to support the operation of the hub wheel, and basically do not play a load-bearing role. Therefore, the strength of the four-bearing and double-bearing hubs is basically the same. There are slight differences in structure between the four-bearing and double-bearing rear hubs, mainly in the ratchet part:The four-bearing hub is to place two assembled bearings directly in the freewheel body. The freewheel body can usually be made of aluminum alloy material; the double-bearing hub is composed of a shaft bowl, axle gear, and balls set inside the freewheel body. Therefore, the tower base is made of steel. In this way, from the perspective of the overall weight of the rear hub, although the four-bearing hub has two more bearing assemblies, the actual overall weight is lighter than that of the double-bearing hub due to the use of an aluminum alloy freehub. The advantage of the bearing over the bead gear is that it glides well and is easy to maintain. Our company also has bike hub accessories: Trifox Bike Hub M827 For MTB, its advantage is the freedom to change the quick release and barrel shaft, the tower base is broken do not have to worry about throwing the whole thing away, were broken to change where you can buy MS tower base and XD tower base replacement alone, and there are a variety of colors to choose from.

Here’s a picture of a road bike. Before introducing the parts of the bicycle frame, let’s take a look at a picture: There are roughly such things on the whole vehicle: Frame, Front Fork, Wheelset, Seat cushion, Handlebar, etc. Whether it is a self-assembled vehicle or a brand-name vehicle, the first part to choose/focus on should be the frameset! What frame you use represents what you are riding. Since road cars pursue higher transmission efficiency, they are basically without shock absorbers. Therefore, most of the frame + front fork (frameset) are sold in bundles. Some frames also use odd-shaped (non-circular) Seatposts, as well as accessories such as seat posts. What’s the frame? In general, almost all parts of the bike are mounted on the frame. Let’s start with the front fork of the frameset, after all, it’s a bit simpler… ↑There is also a front fork in front of the frame, which is connected to the frame by a part called a “Headset” to provide a steering mechanism. ↑Looking at the front fork from another angle, the front fork has several parts: the top tube, the fork shoulder, and the fork foot. The top tube is used to install the handlebars and other parts, the fork shoulder is basically meaningless on a road bike, and the fork foot part is used to fix the front wheel. Most of the parts will be installed in the frame part, the soul of the whole car mainly lies in the frame. Then there is the frame part, which mainly consists of the following parts:Headtube, Top tube, Down tube, Seat tube, Seat stay, Chainstay, Bottom bracket.These are all marked in the figure and also rear fork feet for mounting the rear wheel, as well as tail hooks for mounting the derailleur and front derailleur mounts. ↑The bottom bracket part of the frame can be said to be the strongest part of the vehicle. In the center of the picture, there is a metal part that is fixed by two screws and protrudes. This is the front fork hanger/mount. In the chainstay part, the side with the paper tape is attached to the tail hook. When buying a road frameset, in addition to the frame and front bike, you will generally have a seatpost, seatpost clip, spare rear hanger, headset, washers, cable mounts, and a range of small accessories. Note: If you purchased a frameset, be sure to read the manual to double-check that all accessories are complete. In addition, 700C AERO Carbon Road Bike Frameset X8TA adopts carbon fiber integrated molding process, three-dimensional guide type integrated aero pipe type, internal routing aerodynamic propel design, full sense of strength, the combination of sports and equipment aesthetics, and the special processing method of carbon fiber makes the frame without Joint gaps, with consistent visual aesthetics that other frame materials don’t have. The internal routing design, the wiring from the upper tube of the frame head, is simple and beautiful.
Because road bicycles are fast, strictly speaking, the requirements for cadence are greater than the requirements for strength. So, how to increase the cadence and rhythm? That is to sweat more and practice more during normal training. The so-called one minute on the field, ten years off the field. Any exercise needs to be done step by step, no one can practice it in one day, so how do improve the cadence and speed? ①. Keep the cadence at 80 to 90 revolutions per minute on flat roads. If there is a gentle downhill on the flat road, you can raise a grade and stabilize slowly. ②. Keep going uphill at 65 to 75 rpm, if the slope is too big, you can lower it a notch and then slowly stabilize. ③. Alternate intermittent and static riding to improve resilience during competition. ④. Practice more straight-line riding skills, S-type riding will consume too much energy and reduce cadence. ⑤. It is enough to shake the bicycle when the bicycle is rocked. When the bicycle is rocked, the body will follow, which will consume too much physical strength and disturb the rhythm.
Ultra-light road bike In recent years, the global carbon fiber manufacturing technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, allowing carbon fiber materials to achieve unprecedented strength under different conditions, while greatly reducing their weight. Major manufacturers are launching ultra-light road frames below 700Gone after another. Descending to the 4KG featherweight range; because our ordinary riders do not need to participate in UCI races, and are not subject to the 6.8KG weight limit of UCI races (currently in China, even national championships are not UCI races… ), lighter road bikes also make it easier for us to ride in various environments such as climbing. Moreover, Carbon Frame Road Bike is very popular in cycling. Comprehensive road bike Comprehensive road bicycles, as the name suggests, have more comprehensive performance, and are suitable for road bicycles on all roads; each brand also has different opinions, and the “components” added to road bicycles are different. Endurance road bike This type of road bike has many different names, such as endurance road bike, long-distance road bike, comfortable road bike, etc. Its features are a high head tube, low stretch, long wheelbase, etc. The comfortable geometry and frame design allow the rider to get a stretched riding posture, and it is also the most suitable road bike branch for the majority of enthusiasts. Cyclo-Cross(XC) Cyclo-Cross is the ancestor of all bicycle cross-country sports with a history of hundreds of years (the first recorded event even went to 1902); the road cross-country bicycle race commonly known as CX is a popular sport in Europe and America.

Most cyclists care about how to start, how to maintain the bicycle, and how to avoid physical injuries to the body, but they often encounter obstacles along the way, so mastering braking skills are extremely important. The main purpose of the brake is to control the speed of the bike. Do not lock the wheel. If the wheel is locked while driving, the rider will be affected by certain inertia and will fall forward or fall, causing bodily injury. Therefore, we should remind all riders, Never brake hard. Brake Essentials 1、Keeping abreast of road conditions and looking away can avoid emergency braking, which can cause unnecessary danger. 2、Brake with your body weight backward, straighten your arms and hips backward to improve driving stability. 3、You can use the spot braking technique to prevent the wheels from locking up and causing danger. 4、Don’t brake the rear wheels on curves, as they will slip due to tailspin and cause personal injury. The best way to brake – click the brake and coast to the end Alternating left and right braking can cool down the brake system. Don‘t hold the brake tightly for a long time, otherwise, the braking effect will be reduced due to the overheating of the brake block or rim, or the danger of a hot tube explosion will occur. Suggest: Novices should practice braking the rear wheel first and coast to the end. When the veteran is going downhill, the main brake should be the front wheel, do not brake suddenly, and slow down by friction. Beginners do not recommend the front wheel braking method. In case of bad road conditions, it is best to get out of the car and push it to pass safely. For more information, please click our official link.

The grasping position of a road handlebar, it can be simply divided into three types: the position of the hand on the brake handle, the hand on the upper end of the handle, and the grasp of the lower handle with both hands. Regarding the three grip positions, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but more importantly, each grip position allows the rider to better face special riding conditions. Of course, the handlebar grip guide discussed below is just a reference. After all, the rider’s riding habits and body feel are also very important, and these factors must be taken into consideration. In this article, we’ll focus on the pros and cons of each grip position, as well as when to recommend it. 1. The position of the hand on the brake handle The grip position of the brake lever is the most common and common way of holding the road bike, because this grip position can be used for comprehensive terrain such as uphill, downhill, and flat roads.This steering position can also strike a balance between aerodynamics and comfort, and more importantly, it has the advantage of being able to control the brakes at any time. It is recommended that you should adopt this grip position during training, whether it is solo or group training. The main factor is that it can provide a quite comfortable riding position without affecting safety. And in racing (including pro), it’s also the most common grip position, maintaining good comfort even on long rides up to several hours. In the face of the sudden need to change to a standing position in order to respond to acceleration or changes in terrain, it is not necessary to change the grip position of the hands when changing the riding position. In addition, if there is no need for super-high-speed downhill, this riding position can also maintain good handling and stability and allows the rider to control the brakes at any time. However, if the rider wants to maximize the handling and braking power, we still suggest that it is more appropriate to hold both hands on the bottom bar. 2. The hand on the upper end of the handle The grip position of the upper handlebar, as the name suggests, is to place your hands on the flat top of the handlebar. Since this riding position brings the hands closest to the body, it keeps the back more upright for optimal riding comfort. The biggest downside, however, is the reduced aerodynamics. However, let’s not talk about this riding position for a while, which may reduce the aerodynamics. Since this riding position is not very good in handling, it is not recommended to use it when riding at high speed. The main factor is that the brake lever cannot be controlled immediately. Another reason is that because this riding position will make the grip of the hands closer, it will reduce the handling performance, especially in the face of emergency situations, such as sharp turns or obstacles, it is very unfavorable to control. For this reason, the recommendation for the use of the upper handle position is in situations where the use of the brakes is less necessary, such as when climbing a hill or on a road with few people and bicycles. 3. The grasp the lower handle with both hands The lower bar grip position is the most controllable grip. The disadvantage is that it is obviously not as comfortable as the other two riding positions, but it allows for more handling torque in the hands, and not only improves aerodynamics but also has very good handling. In addition, the grip position of the lower bar also makes it easy to operate the brake lever, and you can get better braking power than using the brake lever position. The recommended time to use it is in difficult stages, such as high-speed sprints, and downhill, and in these cases, you can see professional riders use the lower bar position. By using this curved grip position, the angle of the back can be made close to the level, and the aerodynamic advantage can be optimally exerted. You can check out our company’s Bike Handlebars DHB500, which is designed for Ultra-lightweight, full T800 carbon fiber and is easy to install. Durable and Incredible strong in pressure resistance with better looks and no compromise of stiffness. This is a standard mold for modern road racing bikes, the tortuosity is especially great for the brake system, Carbon Drop Handlebar DHB500 provides you a safer and more comfortable riding.
