Carbon fiber is an incredible material that has revolutionized the design and performance of bike frames. It is lightweight, corrosion resistant, can be shaped into any desired shape and is very strong in use. Claims that carbon fiber frames and related components are generally brittle and unreliable are not true, they are merely alarmist. It is strong enough to be used in F1 and the aerospace industry, and naturally in the bicycle field. When made by a trusted manufacturer and used correctly, there’s no reason a carbon frame shouldn’t give you enough miles to ride happily, and many manufacturers now offer lifetime warranties on frames. No matter what frame material you choose, be it carbon, steel, aluminum, or titanium, quality is key, and good quality is always more durable. When riding a carbon frame bike, you don’t need to deliberately change the way you ride, but you can pay attention to the details of the daily maintenance and use of some carbon fiber bikes. Buy a torque wrench Despite the incredible force in the design direction, squeezing can easily damage carbon fiber, such as over-tightening bolts and clamps, handlebars and seatposts are the most common causes of carbon fiber frame damage. If you have a carbon fiber bike, a torque wrench is necessary to ensure you don’t tighten components with more torque than recommended. If you’ve owned a metal frame bike before, you might be surprised how little force is required to assemble and tune a carbon bike. Use carbon assembly paste Another disadvantage of the relatively small torque required for carbon frames and components is that they tend to slip out. This especially affects the seatpost. Don’t risk trying to tighten the seatpost with extra, more force, you should use carbon assembly paste. It is a gel containing fine particles, similar to a film, that increases friction between contact surfaces to prevent slippage. Assembly paste and torque wrenches are a must for carbon fiber owners. Handle with care The damage to the carbon frame caused by an accident and impact is usually difficult to predict and avoid in advance, but some collisions that will damage the carbon fiber can be easily avoided. A common occurrence is for the handlebars to spin over and hit the top tube of the frame, which often happens when the bike is inadvertently lifted. So be careful not to let this happen when picking up your bike. In addition, try to avoid stacking bicycles on other bicycles, and do not use the seat part to lean against poles or posts, so that the bicycle will easily slip and cause a collision with the frame. Keep it clean Routine cleaning can give you a chance to take a closer look at your bike for obvious signs of damage. Regardless of the frame material, this should be your routine on the ride. Of course, rough cleaning is also to be avoided, which will damage the epoxy resin wrapped around the carbon fiber. If in doubt about how to clean your bike scientifically, you can ask the manufacturer for advice. Any bicycle-specific degreaser or cleaning product, as well as old-fashioned mild soapy water, should be used appropriately. Avoid squeezing As mentioned above, try not to over-tighten parts, carbon fiber can easily be damaged by extrusion. So special care needs to be taken when clamping the frame tube with a repair rack or a bike rack. The bike should be secured with minimal pressure, or a protective covering can be wrapped around the frame. Of course, you can also consider another way of transporting bicycles. If you want to take your bike on a plane, we strongly recommend packing it in a rigid special case. Don’t twist For metal frames and components, such as during the installation of handlebars and seatposts, it is normal and acceptable to give a certain amount of rotation or pull to fine-tune after fixing. But this step can cause damage on carbon fiber cars and needs to be strongly avoided. The correct way is to use the recommended torque value and use assembly paste. If the position and angle of the parts need to be adjusted, the parts should be completely Panasonic in advance. Measure twice, cut once If you need to cut carbon fiber parts, such as handlebars and the entire seatpost, remember to take careful and precise measurements and wrap with tape to mark where to cut. Cutting requires a special carbon saw blade, which prevents the fibers from tearing and fraying . Never mark the seatpost where you need to cut it with a pen or a sharpie, as even the smallest scratches can damage the carbon fiber. Instead, you can mark the cut location by wrapping it with insulating tape. Avoid the chain getting caught and stuck Many people have encountered the situation of chain drop, especially in the case of incorrect shifting. The worst case scenario is when the chain is dropped and the chain gets stuck between the smallest chain ring and the chain stays and gets stuck instantly. For carbon fiber bike, this is a great “pain”. When this happens, stop pedaling immediately and avoid further exertion. When you get home, thoroughly clean and re-lubricate your drive train. Check your chain for wear, elasticity, etc. Best to replace if necessary. Replacing the brake pads If you alternate between alloy training wheels and carbon fiber racing wheels, it is essential to replace your brake pads accordingly. Although there are dual-purpose brake pads, metal debris left on the surface of the pads can easily scratch and destroy carbon fiber rims. If the worst happens In the event of a crash or accident, unlike the metal frame where the dent or bending damage can be clearly seen, the carbon fiber may appear to be intact on the outside, but it has actually been damaged. If you have such an impact and are worried about your frame, be sure to ask a professional technician to do a professional inspection. Even serious damage can be repaired very well, even if it’s not aesthetically perfect, but at least it’s safe and functional.
An inch and a half is enough to make a big difference and can directly impact your decision to buy a mountain bike. What’s the difference between the two and how to choose? What is 27.5+ Since 27.5+ wheels have the same outside diameter as 29ers, 27.5+ bikes can fit 29″ wheels (and vice versa in some cases). If you have to give an example, backtracking, Scott’s Remy Absalon is Won the 2015 Megavalanche Downhill Championship on a 27.5+ bike with a pair of 29″ wheels. Difference between 27.5″ and 29″ wheels： 27.5″ MTB Wheels faster response time Smaller wheels are generally lighter, stiffer and stronger Good choice for short riders Suitable for the crowd: Riders who like skill, mobility and style. The speed requirements are not so demanding. Riders who excel at jumping, freeride terrain or bike parks. 29″ MTB Wheels Easier to roll over rough terrain and obstacles Popular in cyclocross, enduro and even downhill racing Good choice for tall riders Who it’s for: Want to maximize uphill and downhill speed for racing. As far as current trends go, 29 tires are more popular, and 29-inch wheels have won more races in various races to justify it. 29-inch wheels aren’t for every rider and application, and there are still plenty of people who prefer smaller wheels. While many big manufacturers still choose to launch 29 wheels, at least one of them is guaranteed to be 27.5 wheels. If you are familiar with Red Bull Rampage racing, you should know that the riders use 27.5 bikes to shuttle through various steep hills, and they rely more on the mobility of the bike to complete all kinds of amazing action performances. 27.5\29 Hybrid Bike This bike uses a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel, at the front you have the traction of a larger wheel that lets you go straight through rough terrain, and at the back, you have a smaller wheel Maneuverability so you can quickly throw the bike into corners and around obstacles. More and more mountain bike brands are now adding mixed wheel sizes to their new models, with a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel. The mixed wheel diameter takes into account the advantages of both wheel diameters. The larger front wheel can roll over all obstacles, and the smaller rear wheel has flexible cornering control. For those who want better passability, they must ensure cornering. For users of flexibility, mixed wheel sizes are perfect. I believe that after reading the above wheel sizes, everyone has a good idea of the purchase plan. For those users who want to go to the pump road or the soil slope to practice their movements, they can choose 26 wheel diameters. If you want to ensure flexibility in mountain off-road, then you can choose a 27.5 wheel size, or even a mixed wheel size with a 29. If you are an XC user who is looking for passability or racing, then the 29 is an excellent choice. Nowadays, many brands also launch models with different wheel diameters for different sizes, such as 29 wheel diameters above M and 27.5 wheel diameters below M, which is convenient for users who are troubled by height.
Buying a bike is a one-step process? Or enjoy the fun of slowly leveling up? saddle A large part of the reason for uncomfortable and unpleasant riding can be attributed to the seat cushion. So most brands offer saddles in a variety of shapes, sizes and lengths. There are also many brands of saddles in many bicycle shops now, maybe you can try the one that suits you best!

Can’t stand your waist? Even wrist soreness? The culprit could be a stem that isn’t the right length, either too short or too long. There are many specifications of the stem, and there are many variables from one person to another, but there will only be a standard stem on a car, and it is unlikely to be optional, so you need to know what angle and length are is best for you. A stem that’s too long may make your stance lean more forward, and while it’s a bit of an aerodynamic advantage, your waist may protest sooner! Bike Stem Riser SR100 1. Remove the top hex screw 2.

The bicycle frame is the skeleton of the entire bicycle, which determines and influences the correctness and comfort of the riding posture to the greatest extent. Material frame material from the earliest chromium-molybdenum steel, evolution to aluminum, then the use of composite materials such as carbon fiber, and another scandium alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, etc., the industry continues to develop new material formulations, improve the ability to design the fittings and structure and innovative processing technology, only to make the frame lighter, stronger, more comfortable and more streamlined and beautiful. The frame is the soul of the bike, a good bike frame must meet the three conditions of lightweight, enough strength, and high steel. As a cycling car is of course the lighter the weight the better, so the more energy-saving ride faster; strength enough means that the frame in the high-intensity riding, will not have to break bending safety concerns; high steel refers to the frame to be hard enough, sometimes a poor steel frame may not have safety concerns, but ride up frame power conduction poor, making the rider pedal up with the car dragging heavy feeling, even if it is light enough, enough Even if the frame is light enough and strong enough but with poor steel, it is still a substandard sportbike. Frame materials that meet the above criteria for a good frame are aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, titanium alloy, and alloy steel. The carbon fiber raw materials are derived from Toray T800 high-quality. The carbon fiber is flexible on the outside and rigid on the inside. It is lighter than aluminum alloy but has more strength than steel. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, shock resistance, and high modulus.

The most common sports bikes in our daily life are road bikes and mountain bikes, which are very different in appearance and can be distinguished at a glance. So what are the differences between road and mountain, and how do these differences come about? Let’s talk about them together below. First of all, the most obvious difference is the width of the outer tire. In order to achieve the perfect balance between rolling resistance and air resistance as well as vibration filtering performance, many road parties are often torn between the size of the outer tire and tire pressure, and even the width of the rim. For mountain bikes with off-road orientation, high tire pressure means that bumps on the road will consume more energy or even cause injuries, while narrow tire width will bring the problem of lack of grip. Compared to large tires, road tires with fine grain or even bald designs can easily lose grip on gravel roads. Mountain bikes have better passability than road bikes because of the setting of the outer tire, so they have also become the first choice of many people who ride in areas with poor road conditions. Handlebar Controls Mountain in order to ride in the rugged mountain roads, the pursuit of control, the use of a wider handle, while the road pursuit of speed, reduce wind resistance, so the handlebar is narrower. Frame Mountain on bumpy roads, the consideration is a combination of lightweight and hard work, while road considerations focus on pedaling rigidity and lightweight. Road bikes are usually slimmer, while mountain bikes are sturdier. The frame angle of a mountain bike is very specific, while the angle of a road bike is about the same. The axle of a mountain bike is thicker, while the axle of a road bike is more delicate. At present, with the use of production technology and high-tech materials, it is difficult to find any similarity between the two types of frames except for the basic structure. Brakes The best braking system now is the disc brake, or disc brake, introduced from motorcycles. The most important thing about road bikes is that they are lightweight, in addition to the braking power, and of course, disc brakes are now becoming popular. Fork Mountain bike forks belong to an important part of the mountain bike, with high technology, performance and comfort are added rigidity and lightweight of a combination, while the road bike fork is just a part of the frame related parts. Weight Weight is very important for mountains and roads. In cross-country racing, domestic hardtail mountain bikes can reach about 8.5 kg, while road bikes are usually below 7 kg. In UCI regulations, the minimum limit is no lighter than 6.8kg. The heavier the bike is, the more gong it consumes, which invariably increases overspending. Mountain bikes are stable, comfortable, and have very good handling and braking; road bikes are all designed to emphasize speed. You can tell the two at a glance if you master this point. For mountain bikes that travel through forest roads and hills, shock absorption and handling performance are the primary indicators, so front and rear shocks are the real necessity. Full-suspension models are basically divided into two major parts: the front frame and the rear triangle, which are connected by turning points, bearings, shock absorbers, and sturdy connecting rods, all for better shock absorption and strength. In order to improve the overall handling of the car, will also use a wider straight handlebar cross or swallow handlebar. Although small gear ratios are necessary for road bikes in climbing, in order to match the right pedaling frequency, road bikes focus more on dense gear ratios rather than just pursuing large flywheels. Due to the different riding styles, we can see that road bikes usually have a “flared” flywheel arrangement, while mountain bikes are close to “trapezoidal” because the former focus on cruising pedaling stability, while the latter are more concerned about the range of gear ratios under extreme conditions. This is because the former is focused on cruising pedaling stability, while the latter is more concerned with gear range at the limit.
Hubs need to match the frame or fork they are used in. The spacing of a frame/fork is measured from the inside surfaces of the dropouts, where they come into contact with the locknuts of the wheel's axle. Halo Dropout spacing Halo Hub O.L.D. The hub spacing is measured from the outside face of the locknuts (or equivalent), this is commonly called the “O.L.D.” (Over-Lock-nut Dimension)

Mountain bikes, abbreviated as MTB, are bikes with stronger wheels (usually 29 inches or 27.5 inches) and wider tires (at least 2 inches wide) for off-road riding. They also feature flat handlebars that provide better control than sway bars in very rough terrain, and the frame geometry of modern mountain bikes is also quite different from road bikes, which both tend to have a relatively upright position. Mountain bikes are usually equipped with front suspension (hardtail) or front and rear suspension (full suspension). (Rigid) Mountain bikes without any suspension do exist, they require more careful route selection. In the past, soft tail mountain bikes had a small, low-travel suspension with the seat stays attached to the frame. The weight of MFM200 is only 1200g. It is characterized by 3K carbon fiber weaving, which is harder and more textured. Fits a 31.6mm seat post. Belongs to the ultra-light, strong, and durable type. Switch at will between quick release and thru-axle, quick-release string and thru-axle string can change each other according to the style of derailleur hitch.
