What Is A Fixed-Gear Bicycle
Tumblr media
A fixed-gear bicycle (or fixed-wheel bicycle, commonly known in some places as a fixie is a bicycle that has a drivetrain with no freewheel mechanism such that the pedals always will spin together with the rear wheel. The freewheel was developed early in the history of bicycle design but the fixed-gear bicycle remained the standard track racing design. More recently the "fixie" has become a popular alternative among mainly urban cyclists, offering the advantage of simplicity compared with the standard multi-geared bicycle.
Tumblr media
A fixed or single-speed transmission requires you to try hard to go uphill and in the latter case also to descend quickly the fixed gear does not allow free riding. Most bicycle hubs incorporate a freewheel to allow the pedals to remain stationary while the bicycle is in motion, so that the rider can coast, i.e., ride without pedalling using forward momentum. A fixed-gear drivetrain has the drive sprocket (or cog) threaded or bolted directly to the hub of the back wheel, so that the pedals are directly coupled to the wheel. During acceleration, the pedal crank drives the wheel, but in other situations, the rear wheel can drive the pedal cranks. This direct coupling allows a cyclist to apply a braking force with the legs and bodyweight, by resisting the rotation of the cranks. It also makes it possible to cycle backwards. As a general rule, fixed-gear bicycles are single-speed. A derailleur for gear selection would introduce chain slack, which would interfere with braking. Gear selection can, however, be accomplished with the use of an internally geared hub. For example, a Sturmey-Archer fixed-gear three-speed hub is a fixed-gear multi-speed arrangement. Most fixed-gear bicycles only have a front brake, and some have no brakes at all. Uses A track bicycle or track bike is a form of fixed-gear bicycle optimized for racing at a velodrome or at an outdoor track. Some road racing and club cyclists use a fixed-gear bicycle for training during the winter months, generally using a relatively low gear ratio, believed to help develop a good pedalling style. In the UK until the 1950s it was common for riders to use fixed-gear bicycles for time trials. The 1959 British 25 mile time trial championship was won by Alf Engers with a competition record of 55 minutes 11 seconds, riding an 84-inch fixed-gear bicycle. The fixed-gear was also commonly used, and continues to be used in the end of season hill climb races in the autumn. A typical club men's fixed-gear machine would have been a "road/path" or "road/track" cycle. In the era when most riders only had one cycle, the same bike when stripped down and fitted with racing wheels was used for road time trials and track racing, and when fitted with mudguards (fenders) and a bag, it was used for club runs, touring and winter training. By the 1960s, multi-gear derailleurs had become the norm and riding fixed-gear bicycles on the road declined over the next few decades. Recent years have seen renewed interest and increased popularity of fixed-gear cycling. In urban North America and similar areas in other Western cities, fixed-gear bicycles have achieved significant popularity, with the rise of discernible regional aesthetic preferences for finish and design details. Dedicated fixed-gear road bicycles are being produced in greater numbers by established bicycle manufacturers. They are generally low in price and characterized by relaxed road geometry, as opposed to the steep geometry of track bicycles. Fixed-gear bicycles are also used in cycle ball, bike polo and artistic cycling. A fixed-gear bicycle is particularly well suited for track stands, a maneuver in which the bicycle can be held stationary, balanced upright with the rider's feet on the pedals.
Tumblr media
Typicaly fixie set has a double-sided hub like this. There's a single freewheel on the far side and the dual thread on the oposit. With alinment scews for agustment and sfety. Advantages and disadvantages One of the perceived main attractions of a fixed gear bicycle is low weight. Without the added parts required for a fully geared drive train—derailleurs, shifters, cables, cable carriers, multiple chain rings, freewheel hub, brazed-on mounting lugs—a fixed gear bicycle weighs less than its geared equivalent. The chain itself is subject to less sideways force and will not wear out as fast as on a derailleur system. Also, a fixed gear drivetrain is more mechanically efficient than any other bicycle drivetrain, with the most direct power transfer from rider to the wheels. Thus, a fixed gear requires less energy in any given gear to move than a geared bike in the same gear. In slippery conditions some riders prefer to ride fixed because they believe the transmission provides increased feedback on back tire grip. However, there is also an increased risk of loss of control in such conditions. This is especially so when taking into account the large number of riders who ride brakeless. These riders must brake entirely through the drivetrain. Ideally this is done by resisting the forward motion of the pedals, shedding speed while the bike is still moving. Alternatively, though far less efficiently, one can brake by stopping the motion of the pedals in mid-rotation, causing the rear wheel to lock in place, allowing the bicycle to skid and slow down from kinetic friction (see below). Descending any significant gradient is more difficult as the rider must spin the cranks at high speed (sometimes at 170 rpm or more), or use the brakes to slow down. Some consider that the enforced fast spin when descending increases suppleness or flexibility, which is said to improve pedalling performance on any type of bicycle; however the performance boost is negligible compared to the benefits of riding a free wheel. Riding fixed is considered by some to encourage a more effective pedaling style, which it is claimed translates into greater efficiency and power when used on a bicycle fitted with a freewheel. It allows for the rider to engage in and practice proper cadence, which is the balanced and rhythmic flow of pedaling, enhancing performance for both cyclist and bicycle. When first riding a fixed gear, a cyclist used to a freewheel may try to freewheel, or coast, particularly when approaching corners or obstacles. Since coasting is not possible this can lead to a "kick" to the trailing leg, and even to loss of control of the bicycle. Riding at high speed around corners can be difficult on a road bike converted into a fixed-gear bicycle, as the pedals can strike the road, resulting in loss of control. Proper track bikes have a higher bottom bracket to compensate for the constantly spinning cranks and largely mitigate this problem. Perhaps the most obvious disadvantage is the lack of multiple gears, and the flexibility in pedaling cadence and resistance made available through gear shifting. Hilly or uneven mountainous terrain with steep grades can be particularly challenging, as the rider cannot adjust the gearing to match the terrain. Brakeless
Tumblr media
Cyclist riding a fixed gear bike without brakes Many urban fixed-gear riders think brakes are not strictly necessary, and brakeless fixed riding has a cult status in some areas. Brakes and their cables are said to add extra bulk to the simple appearance of a fixed gear bicycle, and they prevent trick manoeuvres that involve spinning the front wheel in a full circle, unless equipped with special 360° freedom "detangler" system already used on BMX bicycles. Other riders dismiss riding on roads without brakes as an affectation, based on image rather than practicality. Riding without brakes can be dangerous, is prohibited by law in many jurisdictions, and may jeopardize the chances of a claim in the event of an accident. Technique It is possible to slow down or stop a fixed-gear bike in two ways. The first, most efficient, and least stressful on the rider's body is by resisting the turning cranks as they come up and around, shedding speed with each pedal rotation. The second way, less efficient but more showy, is to bump or skid the rear wheel along the riding surface. Such a move is initiated by shifting the rider's weight slightly forward and pulling up on the pedals using clipless pedals or toe clips and straps. The rider then stops turning the cranks, thus stopping the drivetrain and rear wheel, while applying body weight in opposition to the rotation of the cranks. This causes the rear wheel to skid, and slow the bike. The skid can be held until the bicycle stops or until the rider desires to continue pedaling again at a slower speed. The technique requires practice and is generally considered dangerous when used during cornering. On any bike with only rear wheel braking, the maximum deceleration is significantly lower than on a bike equipped with a front brake. As a vehicle brakes, weight is transferred towards the front wheel and away from the rear, decreasing the amount of grip the rear wheel has. Transferring the rider's weight back increases rear wheel braking efficiency, but a front wheel fitted with an ordinary brake might provide 70% or more of the braking power when braking hard. Legality Austria – Brakeless bicycles are not legal to be driven on public roads. Every bike has to have two independent brakes, several reflectors and front and back lighting when conditions require it. Australia – Bicycles are regarded as vehicles under the Road Rules in every state. A bike is required by law to have at least one functioning brake. Belgium – All bicycles are required to have easy-to-hear bells and working brakes on both wheels. Lights and reflectors are not required on race, mountain, and children's bikes when not used after dark. Other (normal) bikes need reflectors and lights. These lights may be attached to the body and may blink. Brazil – Brazilian Traffic Law, article 105, subheading VI, says that, for bicycles, "bells, rear, front, sides and pedals signaling, and rear-view mirror on the left" are mandatory. Albeit, nothing is explicitly said about bicycle brakes. Canada – Laws vary by province, and are controlled by highway and traffic acts. In Ontario and in Québec, a rear brake is required, and not having one may subject the rider to a fine. Alberta requires one functioning brake. Denmark – All bicycles are required to have working brakes on both wheels, reflectors, and bells. France – A bike must have 2 brakes, 2 lights, numerous reflectors, and a ringer to be approved for road traffic. The laws are rarely enforced, however, and the sight of all kinds of non-officially-approved bikes is common. Germany – All bicycles are required to have working brakes on both wheels, reflectors, and bells. A local court in Bonn accepted that the fixed-gear mechanism was a suitable back brake, but high-profile crackdowns specifically targeted fixed-gear bicycles in Berlin in an attempt to control what police described as a "dangerous trend" Hungary – All bicycles are required to be equipped with two independent sets of brakes. Front and rear lamps, reflectors and a bell are also required. Italy – All bicycles must have tires, two independent sets of brakes, a bell, a front white lamp, a rear red lamp and reflector, amber reflectors on pedals and sides. The laws however are rarely enforced. Netherlands – All bicycles are required to have an adequate brake system. New Zealand – By law all bicycles must have a minimum of "...a good rear brake..."–and those made since 1 January 1988 must also have "...a good front brake..." Poland – All bicycles must have at least one functional brake. Russian Federation – All bicycles must have working brakes, handlebars and horns  Singapore – In a report submitted to the Singapore Ministry of Transport in December 2020, the Active Mobility Advisory Panel recommended that a new rule be put in place to allow only bicycles that have brakes installed in order for them to be used on footpaths and roads. In January 2020, a 13-year-old fixie rider died after she crashed into a railing at a multi-storey car park and fell from height, prompting a state coroner hearing the court inquiry to declare that such bicycles are not suitable for the young. Her death was ruled as a misadventure. Spain – All bicycles are required to have an adequate brake system on front and rear wheels, plus a bell. Sweden – Bicycles are required to have a brake and bell. Additionally, when it's dark outside they are required to have lights facing forward and back as well as reflectors facing forward, back and to the sides. United Kingdom – The Pedal Cycles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1983 require pedal cycles "so constructed that one or more of the wheels is incapable of rotating independently of the pedals, be equipped with a braking system operating on the front wheel"; riding a rear-wheel drive, fixed-gear bicycle with no front brake on public highways is illegal. Following the conviction of UK cyclist Charlie Alliston, who knocked over and killed a woman whilst riding a fixed-gear bicycle with no front brake, the UK Government announced a review of the laws covering "dangerous cycling" in September 2017. A brake on the rear wheel is only required for free-wheel bicycles. United States – The use of any bike without brakes on public roads is illegal in many places, but the wording is often similar to "...must be equipped with a brake that will enable the person operating the cycle to make the braked wheels skid on dry, level and clean pavement..." which some have argued allows the use of the legs and gears. The retail sale of bikes without brakes is banned by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission – but with an exception for the "track bicycle" (...a bicycle designed and intended for sale as a competitive machine having tubular tires, single crank-to-wheel ratio, and no free-wheeling feature between the rear wheel and the crank...). Conversion Many companies sell bicycle frames designed specifically for use with fixed-gear hubs. A fixed-gear or track-bike hub includes special threads for a lockring that tightens in the opposite (counter-clockwise) direction compared with the sprocket. This ensures that the sprocket cannot unscrew when the rider "backpedals" while braking.
Tumblr media
A horizontal dropout on a steel frame road bicycle converted to a single-speed. The derailleur hanger (below the axle) and an eyelet (above the axle) for mounting a fender or rack, both integral parts of the original frame, are now unused. For a variety of reasons, many cyclists choose to convert freewheel bicycles to fixed gear. Frames with horizontal dropouts are straightforward to convert, frames with vertical dropouts less so. One method is to simply replace the rear wheel with a wheel that has a track/fixed hub. Another is to use a hub designed for use with a threaded multi-speed freewheel. Such a hub only has the normal right-handed threads for the sprocket and not the reverse threads for the lockrings used on track/fixed hubs. The sprocket on a hub without a lockring may unscrew while back pedalling. Even if a bottom bracket lockring is threaded onto the hub, along with a track sprocket, because the bottom-bracket lockring is not reverse threaded, the possibility still exists that both the sprocket and locknut can unscrew. Therefore, it is recommended to have both front and rear brakes on a fixed-gear bicycle using a converted freewheel hub in case the sprocket unscrews while backpedaling. It is also advisable to use a thread sealer for the sprocket and bottom bracket locking. The rotafix (or "frame whipping") method may be helpful to securely install the sprocket. Chain tension Bicycles with vertical dropouts and no derailleur require some way to adjust chain tension. Most bicycles with horizontal dropouts can be tensioned by moving the wheel forward or backward in the dropouts. Bicycles with vertical dropouts can also be converted with some additional hardware. Possibilities include: - An eccentric hub or bottom bracket allows the off center axle or bottom bracket spindle to pivot and change the chain tension. - A ghost or floating chainring is an additional chainring in the drive train between the driving chainring and sprocket. The top of the chain moves it forward at the same speed that the bottom of the chain moves it backwards, giving the appearance that it is floating in the chain. - A magic gear—the right math can calculate a gearing ratio to fit a taut chain between the rear dropout and bottom bracket. Also, using a chain half link and slightly filing the dropouts to increase the width of the slot increases the chances of finding a magic gear. It is worth noting that the magic gear setup is controversial, due to inevitable chain stretch and subsequent slippage that can lead to serious injury. Separate chain tensioning devices, such as the type that attaches to the dropout (commonly used on single speed mountain bikes) cannot be used because they are damaged as soon as the lower part of the chain becomes tight. Chainline Additional adjustments or modification may be needed to ensure a good chainline. The chain should run straight from the chainring to the sprocket, therefore both must be the same distance away from the bicycle's centerline. Matched groupsets of track components are normally designed to give a chainline of 42 mm, but conversions using road or mountain bike cranksets often use more chainline. Some hubs, such as White Industries' ENO, or the British Goldtec track hub, are better suited to this task as they have a chainline greater than standard. Read the full article

How to Take Care of Your Cycle? Effective Cycling Tips
Cycling is an activity that is enjoyed by many. Both kids and adults can all reap the benefits of cycling. You can fit it into your daily routine. Cycling not only lets you take in some fresh air, but it also improves your social life. Your body gets all the benefits of a workout while having fun. Therefore, cycling has many benefits.
But to reap those benefits, you need to have a good cycle. And when investing in a good cycle, you need to maintain it. Most people shell out money to buy a good set of wheels. However, they do not pay attention to its maintenance.
Tips To A Healthy Bicycle
Taking your bicycle to a service shop every few days takes time and money. We have compiled a list of ways to take care of your cycle to improve its life and service. Following these habits will save you time and is easy and hassle-free.
Tyres: If you want to maintain your bicycle for a longer time, you need to get into the habit of checking the tyres. If you regularly check the tires for punctures, you will have fewer ones. Also, when you check your tires, keep in mind to check the pressure as well. It is one of the important habits to build to maintain your cycle.
Chain: The chain is one of the most important parts of your cycle. Therefore, to maintain a good cycle, you need to have a good chain. It is important to oil the chain regularly. It avoids wear and tear. The best way to lube a cycle chain is:
Park your cycle on the stand.
Turn the pedals and squeeze the oil bottle at the back wheel above the chain.
When you do this, the moving chain will take in the lube and spread it evenly.
However, do not overdo the oiling. Doing so may leave an oily mess on the floor.
Creaking sounds: Creaking is a bike’s way of asking for attention. If you hear your bike creaking, you must give it a good look. Check if any screws or bolts are loose. It may happen when you use your bike for a long time. Some bolts may become loose or come undone. It may cause serious issues if left unchecked. However, it is important to remember not to over tighten the bolts. In case you are unsure, invest in a good torque wrench. This tool lets you know if the bolts on your bike are accurately tightened.
Grease: Greasing is as important as oiling. Grease does not last forever. It dries out. Therefore, it is important to grease the bike once every while. Bearings and bushings are the important parts. So, always remember to grease the threads, headset bearings, hub, and bottom bracket bearings. Also, please do not use coconut or olive oil as grease because it may attract dust.
Wheels: Since a bike rides on wheels, you must take care of them. It is called truing the wheels. Truing a wheel puts the rotation in alignment and frees the wheel of any wobbles. Riding a bike for a long time can loosen the spokes over time. However, you can use a spoke key to fix this issue.
Cables: Cables are important, whether a mountain bike or a sprint cycle. After much use, they can snap. Furthermore, they give in to wear and tear. If not taken care of, you will have improper gear changes or braking. So, whenever you oil or lube your chain, make sure to lube the cables too. Drop some oil down the cables, and they will care for themselves.

How to Assemble a Bicycle Bicycle Assembly Service near Austin TX: Bikes are often broken down into separate pieces so they can fit into smaller cartons, which means you’ll have to put them back together yourself. How they’re broken down depends on the manufacturer, make, and model, so it’s always best to refer to the owner’s manual for exact instructions. A Schwinn mountain bike, for example, requires you to attach the seat, handlebar, front wheel, and pedals. Setting Up for Success Find the owner’s manual. Take the bike out of its box. Set its protective wrapping aside. Locate the owner’s manual. Refer to this for exact instructions regarding your specific bike. ● If you don’t have an owner’s manual, check the manufacturer’s website. Many post instructions for assembly there. ● You can also consult someone at your local bike shop if you have questions or need additional help assembling your bike. Check if all parts are included. Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. Double-check the box’s contents with the parts listed in your owner’s manual. If anything is missing, contact the seller and notify them. ● Don't throw anything away until you’re finished. Smaller parts could possibly be hidden in the box or protective wrapping. Get your tools. Again, refer to the owner’s manual to double-check which tools are required for assembly. Expect types and sizes may vary according to the make and model. However, generally speaking, you will most likely need: ● Allen keys ● Cable cutters ● Phillips head screwdriver ● Wrench Lubricate your parts. Check your manual to find out which parts should be lubricated (and with which type of lubricant). Inspect your bike to locate any metal parts that will come into direct contact with other metal parts. Apply lubrication here to reduce damage from friction and corrosion. Such areas will probably include parts like the: ● Axles ● Quill stem ● Seat post ● Seat tube ● Threads Attaching the Seat ● Locate the minimum insertion mark. Inspect the post attached to your seat's saddle. Locate the mark that indicates how far this should be inserted into the seat tube to achieve the maximum safe height for your seat. If desired, you can place it deeper than this for a lower seat, but always insert it at least this much to make sure your seat is securely in place. A seat post that is not inserted deeply enough into the seat tube can easily damage or destroy your frame if you attempt to ride the bike. If you want a higher seat than the insertion mark allows, you will need to purchase this separately. ● Slip the post into the tube. First, grease the seat post if you haven’t already. Slip it into the corresponding tube on the bike’s body. Push it in until the minimum insertion mark is inside the tube. If grease isn’t included with your new bike, any waterproof, hi-temp grease will work. You can purchase this grease at any hardware store. ● Tighten and adjust. Depending on the make and model, there should be either a bolt or a quick release mechanism on the outside of the seat tube. Whichever one it is, tighten this once you’ve inserted the post to your desired depth. Secure the seat post in place so it isn’t jarred out of place as you ride. ● Center the saddle. Once the post is secure, move up to the seat’s saddle. If needed, adjust its position so it’s centered over the post. Then tighten its bolts to fix it. Contact Us Note: Bicycle repairs reflect service only; parts are not included. Depending on the bike model, some services may vary and related costs may vary accordingly. When you contact us for service, we will let you know if and when the variation may apply to you. Tube installation may cost more on certain bikes due to the wide variety of bikes and wheels. Internal hubs and chain cases can add quite a bit of disassembly and reassembly to the procedure. Mobile Auto Truck Repair Austin, We will always let you know beforehand.
TIPS Bicycle Assembly Service near Austin TX: ● Preventative Maintenance. Cover your bike to protect it from moisture which can cause rusting. This is especially important in close proximity to the beach because of the large amount of salt in the air. Rust not only ruins the look of the bike, it causes damage to important parts such as the chain, chain-ring, and sprockets. When those parts rust they are weakened and will not run as smooth. Try and wipe sand and mud off the bike after rides, and a little oil on the chain goes a long way. Fenders prevent water and sand from spraying up on you. ● Lock it up. Unfortunately bike theft is a problem. This also is especially true in beach communities because of the large demand for bikes. The Kryptonite U-Lock is the safest lock because it is impossible to cut without heavy power tools. Lock the frame of your bike to a grounded object such as a bike rack, sign post, gate, etc…Wheels, seats, and accessories can be taken too, so if you're leaving the bike for a long period of time try to remove attractive accessories. ● Be aware of your surroundings. There’s a lot of nice scenery by the beach. Kids, dogs, skateboards, and other bikers can make for interesting obstacles to avoid. ● If it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it. Assembly and repairs should be done by trained professionals. Consult our assembly directions and bike manuals when building or attempting repairs on the bikes. ● Size matters. People over five feet should fit any 26” wheel beach cruiser we sell. If you are petite or searching for a kids bike we suggest a 20” bike for people up to four feet, and a 24” frame for people 4’6” to 5’. For more specific sizing questions contact us. ● Have fun!

Where will the mechanic work on my bicycle?
Your CAN mechanic is likely to work on your bike outside your home or workplace, ideally on a path or drive. If the weather is poor, then a garage, porch or other covered area could be useful.

Will the work be dirty and messy?
It really depends on what work needs to be carried out. Your mechanic will use protective covers if required, and will ensure that they leave the work area clean and tidy to your satisfaction.
Can you fit accessories?
Yes we can, but as it can be fiddly and time consuming we have a small fitting charge in addition to a service or assembly. Unfortunately we are unable to carry out home visits just to fit accessories alone.
Can you upgrade the parts on my bicycle?
Yes, we are happy to assist you with your specification and give you a quote for upgrading the parts on your bike.
Will you fit parts I have purchased elsewhere?
Yes. We would need to check that the specification of the parts you have ordered suits your bike, before agreeing to fit them.

 How to Assemble a Bicycle
Bicycle Assembly Service near Wichita KS: Bikes are often broken down into separate pieces so they can fit into smaller cartons, which means you’ll have to put them back together yourself. How they’re broken down depends on the manufacturer, make, and model, so it’s always best to refer to the owner’s manual for exact instructions. A Schwinn mountain bike, for example, requires you to attach the seat, handlebar, front wheel, and pedals.
Setting Up for Success
Find the owner’s manual. Take the bike out of its box. Set its protective wrapping aside. Locate the owner’s manual. Refer to this for exact instructions regarding your specific bike.
●      If you don’t have an owner’s manual, check the manufacturer’s website. Many post instructions for assembly there.
●      You can also consult someone at your local bike shop if you have questions or need additional help assembling your bike.
Check if all parts are included. Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. Double-check the box’s contents with the parts listed in your owner’s manual. If anything is missing, contact the seller and notify them.
●      Don't throw anything away until you’re finished. Smaller parts could possibly be hidden in the box or protective wrapping.
Get your tools. Again, refer to the owner’s manual to double-check which tools are required for assembly. Expect types and sizes may vary according to the make and model. However, generally speaking, you will most likely need:
●      Allen keys
●      Cable cutters
●      Phillips head screwdriver
●      Wrench
Lubricate your parts. Check your manual to find out which parts should be lubricated (and with which type of lubricant). Inspect your bike to locate any metal parts that will come into direct contact with other metal parts. Apply lubrication here to reduce damage from friction and corrosion. Such areas will probably include parts like the:
●      Axles
●      Quill stem
●      Seat post
●      Seat tube
●      Threads
Attaching the Seat
●      Locate the minimum insertion mark. Inspect the post attached to your seat's saddle. Locate the mark that indicates how far this should be inserted into the seat tube to achieve the maximum safe height for your seat. If desired, you can place it deeper than this for a lower seat, but always insert it at least this much to make sure your seat is securely in place.
A seat post that is not inserted deeply enough into the seat tube can easily damage or destroy your frame if you attempt to ride the bike.
If you want a higher seat than the insertion mark allows, you will need to purchase this separately.
●      Slip the post into the tube. First, grease the seat post if you haven’t already. Slip it into the corresponding tube on the bike’s body. Push it in until the minimum insertion mark is inside the tube.
If grease isn’t included with your new bike, any waterproof, hi-temp grease will work. You can purchase this grease at any hardware store.
●      Tighten and adjust. Depending on the make and model, there should be either a bolt or a quick release mechanism on the outside of the seat tube. Whichever one it is, tighten this once you’ve inserted the post to your desired depth. Secure the seat post in place so it isn’t jarred out of place as you ride.
●      Center the saddle. Once the post is secure, move up to the seat’s saddle. If needed, adjust its position so it’s centered over the post. Then tighten its bolts to fix it.
Contact Us
Note: Bicycle repairs reflect service only; parts are not included. Depending on the bike model, some services may vary and related costs may vary accordingly. When you contact us for service, we will let you know if and when the variation may apply to you. Tube installation may cost more on certain bikes due to the wide variety of bikes and wheels. Internal hubs and chain cases can add quite a bit of disassembly and reassembly to the procedure. A1 Mobile Mechanics Of Wichita, We will always let you know beforehand.
 TIPS
Bicycle Assembly Service near Wichita KS:
●      Preventative Maintenance. Cover your bike to protect it from moisture which can cause rusting. This is especially important in close proximity to the beach because of the large amount of salt in the air. Rust not only ruins the look of the bike, it causes damage to important parts such as the chain, chain-ring, and sprockets. When those parts rust they are weakened and will not run as smooth. Try and wipe sand and mud off the bike after rides, and a little oil on the chain goes a long way. Fenders prevent water and sand from spraying up on you.
●      Lock it up. Unfortunately bike theft is a problem. This also is especially true in beach communities because of the large demand for bikes. The Kryptonite U-Lock is the safest lock because it is impossible to cut without heavy power tools. Lock the frame of your bike to a grounded object such as a bike rack, sign post, gate, etc…Wheels, seats, and accessories can be taken too, so if you're leaving the bike for a long period of time try to remove attractive accessories.
●      Be aware of your surroundings. There’s a lot of nice scenery by the beach. Kids, dogs, skateboards, and other bikers can make for interesting obstacles to avoid.
●      If it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it. Assembly and repairs should be done by trained professionals. Consult our assembly directions and bike manuals when building or attempting repairs on the bikes.
●      Size matters. People over five feet should fit any 26” wheel beach cruiser we sell. If you are petite or searching for a kids bike we suggest a 20” bike for people up to four feet, and a 24” frame for people 4’6” to 5’. For more specific sizing questions contact us.
●      Have fun!

How to Assemble a Bicycle Bicycle Assembly Service near Albuquerque NM: Bikes are often broken down into separate pieces so they can fit into smaller cartons, which means you’ll have to put them back together yourself. How they’re broken down depends on the manufacturer, make, and model, so it’s always best to refer to the owner’s manual for exact instructions. A Schwinn mountain bike, for example, requires you to attach the seat, handlebar, front wheel, and pedals. Setting Up for Success Find the owner’s manual. Take the bike out of its box. Set its protective wrapping aside. Locate the owner’s manual. Refer to this for exact instructions regarding your specific bike. ● If you don’t have an owner’s manual, check the manufacturer’s website. Many post instructions for assembly there. ● You can also consult someone at your local bike shop if you have questions or need additional help assembling your bike. Check if all parts are included. Before you begin, make sure you have everything you need. Double-check the box’s contents with the parts listed in your owner’s manual. If anything is missing, contact the seller and notify them. ● Don't throw anything away until you’re finished. Smaller parts could possibly be hidden in the box or protective wrapping. Get your tools. Again, refer to the owner’s manual to double-check which tools are required for assembly. Expect types and sizes may vary according to the make and model. However, generally speaking, you will most likely need: ● Allen keys ● Cable cutters ● Phillips head screwdriver ● Wrench Lubricate your parts. Check your manual to find out which parts should be lubricated (and with which type of lubricant). Inspect your bike to locate any metal parts that will come into direct contact with other metal parts. Apply lubrication here to reduce damage from friction and corrosion. Such areas will probably include parts like the: ● Axles ● Quill stem ● Seat post ● Seat tube ● Threads Attaching the Seat ● Locate the minimum insertion mark. Inspect the post attached to your seat's saddle. Locate the mark that indicates how far this should be inserted into the seat tube to achieve the maximum safe height for your seat. If desired, you can place it deeper than this for a lower seat, but always insert it at least this much to make sure your seat is securely in place. A seat post that is not inserted deeply enough into the seat tube can easily damage or destroy your frame if you attempt to ride the bike. If you want a higher seat than the insertion mark allows, you will need to purchase this separately. ● Slip the post into the tube. First, grease the seat post if you haven’t already. Slip it into the corresponding tube on the bike’s body. Push it in until the minimum insertion mark is inside the tube. If grease isn’t included with your new bike, any waterproof, hi-temp grease will work. You can purchase this grease at any hardware store. ● Tighten and adjust. Depending on the make and model, there should be either a bolt or a quick release mechanism on the outside of the seat tube. Whichever one it is, tighten this once you’ve inserted the post to your desired depth. Secure the seat post in place so it isn’t jarred out of place as you ride. ● Center the saddle. Once the post is secure, move up to the seat’s saddle. If needed, adjust its position so it’s centered over the post. Then tighten its bolts to fix it. Contact Us Note: Bicycle repairs reflect service only; parts are not included. Depending on the bike model, some services may vary and related costs may vary accordingly. When you contact us for service, we will let you know if and when the variation may apply to you. Tube installation may cost more on certain bikes due to the wide variety of bikes and wheels. Internal hubs and chain cases can add quite a bit of disassembly and reassembly to the procedure. Mobile Mechanics of Albuquerque, We will always let you know beforehand.
TIPS Bicycle Assembly Service near Albuquerque NM: ● Preventative Maintenance. Cover your bike to protect it from moisture which can cause rusting. This is especially important in close proximity to the beach because of the large amount of salt in the air. Rust not only ruins the look of the bike, it causes damage to important parts such as the chain, chain-ring, and sprockets. When those parts rust they are weakened and will not run as smooth. Try and wipe sand and mud off the bike after rides, and a little oil on the chain goes a long way. Fenders prevent water and sand from spraying up on you. ● Lock it up. Unfortunately bike theft is a problem. This also is especially true in beach communities because of the large demand for bikes. The Kryptonite U-Lock is the safest lock because it is impossible to cut without heavy power tools. Lock the frame of your bike to a grounded object such as a bike rack, sign post, gate, etc…Wheels, seats, and accessories can be taken too, so if you're leaving the bike for a long period of time try to remove attractive accessories. ● Be aware of your surroundings. There’s a lot of nice scenery by the beach. Kids, dogs, skateboards, and other bikers can make for interesting obstacles to avoid. ● If it’s not broken, don’t try to fix it. Assembly and repairs should be done by trained professionals. Consult our assembly directions and bike manuals when building or attempting repairs on the bikes. ● Size matters. People over five feet should fit any 26” wheel beach cruiser we sell. If you are petite or searching for a kids bike we suggest a 20” bike for people up to four feet, and a 24” frame for people 4’6” to 5’. For more specific sizing questions contact us. ● Have fun!

Importance of Bicycle Maintenance and Tips for Bicycle Self Home Service
Maintaining your bicycle clear is let me tell you the single most critical behave involved with preventive maintenance. Sand, dirt, grit, dust could cause an unbelievable number of wear on the bike's components. Cleaning the bike lets you study your bike close up for use and tear. There are many that will tell you a soil free bike is faster. I know quarry always seems to truly have a little additional power right after I clear and lube it.
Washing allows you to obtain a true shut consider the parts of the bike and determine whether or not there is such a thing that requires replaced. This means you can change a worn or broken part before it pauses on a trip and you have to go straight back, bike in tow.
The typical rule is that if you trip 4 or even more times per week you need to clean the bike weekly, significantly less than 4 and you certainly can do it every handful of weeks. I assembled another record a couple of months right back that facts how to wash the bike and what to find throughout inspection process.
When you are cleaning your bike you should be searching for points such as fractures, rust, cracked or buckled paint, free handlebar tape, lacking or sharp teeth on the cassette, check the wheels for pieces and pieces, and ensure the link is tight.
It can also be a good time to check to see if the string is expanded and may require replaced or if the brake cables or patches require some adjustment etc. Following cleaning the bike and the drivetrain be sure to lubrication the bike.
The general principle for lubrication of the sequence is to utilize 1 decline per url and wash down the excess. I have also discovered that it is most useful if you can leave the bike remain for at the least a couple of hours and actually a full time following lubrication before cycling therefore the sequence may dried somewhat. This may help to keep the chain cleaner as when the cycle is drier it draws less soil and grime.
Cords for the wheels and shifters can work loose around time. Always check these everytime you clean the bike. Usually these can be adjusted with hardly any effort. When they show a lot of wear they should be changed relying on your own bicycle preservation skill level you are able to do that your self or have a shop do it. If you prefer to mess with stuff like I do, you then will likely do it yourself.  bicycle maintenance
When washing your Street or Race Bike you should always check the handlebar tape for holes and such and whether it's tight etc. New record is quite realistic however if the previous tape remains excellent but somewhat free you are able to often correct it with some electrical tape. With electric and duct tape today coming in a few shades you can possibly actually discover a corresponding color. The club tape on my Massive were dark and I used black electrical record to fix a tiny grab as well as at the ends. It appears to be holding up rather well.
If your cassette or turn is showing a great deal of use or has broken teeth, you will likely wish to have a shop look at it because most of these need specific tools such as chainwhip wrenches and crankarm removal tools.
Having committed to your bike , you would want to hold your cycle in excellent working purchase so that it gives you years of trouble free cycling. Because of the mechanical difficulties of today's contemporary cycle , more attention becomes necessary to ensure the accuracy engineering that goes into it, works smoothly and efficiently.
Consider buying a bike preservation equipment, which contains amongst others things, spanners, tools, pliers, cable blades, a chain software, a great sort, a variable software and hexagon keys. It's also wise to consider having a method of getting lubricant, grease and cleaning agents.
Some portion and cycle companies are also indicating that you make use of a torque wrench when taking care of their services and products to ensure the correct securing of crazy and bolts. The use of a torque wrench on a modern bicycle's components reveals just how much bike engineering has progressed from the clunky cycles of yesteryear.
Regular checks will need to be made on your own bike to ensure that it operates smoothly. Around a time frame organizations and equipment sprockets can become dirty and dirty creating them to malfunction. There is nothing worse than squeaking wheels that do not work effectively or bicycle stores that grate.
If you cycle with a dry chain or gear sprocket for example, they'll degrade much faster and changing things will end up difficult. It is important thus, that you don't allow soil and dirt to build up on your own bike's chain and gear sprocket. If it does, clean it down with a small screwdriver, wash with a lint free material and then use lubrication. Also always check the bike string for sign of a stiff or hard url that will require quick attention. A particular cycle instrument is needed to appropriate this problem.
Equally as important whilst the bike mechanism would be the tyres and wheels. Check your cycle tyres and wheels regularly for wear and tear. In particular search for possible buckling of the wheels or free wheel spokes and any damage or use to the tyres. If you discover about six cuts or splits in a tyre then it could be time to think about changing it. Reduced tyre stress can make bike operating hard and cause harm to the tyre wall, therefore keep your tyre stress at the suggested level for ease and safety.
If you have used a fortune on among today's detail engineered bicycles, maintenance should be a high priority.

2021 Ferrari Roma first drive review: Good feel, bad touch
New Post has been published on https://appradab.com/2021-ferrari-roma-first-drive-review-good-feel-bad-touch-2/
2021 Ferrari Roma first drive review: Good feel, bad touch
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s a defining moment in any blessed auto enthusiast’s life: the first time they get to stab at the big, red Engine Start button on a Ferrari and take it for a drive. I still remember my first time fondly, and if you’ve ever had the pleasure of doing so yourself, I imagine it’s a moment that is similarly revered. 
If so, cherish that moment, because if the 2021 Ferrari Roma is any indication, it’s a simple action that is now obsolete. You see, the Roma doesn’t have a big, red Engine Start button. It doesn’t have a button to start the engine at all, done away with in favor of a new steering wheel riddled with capacitive touch-sensitive pads. That, as it turns out, is not only a bit sad, it’s a big mistake. 
The Roma is the latest model in Ferrari’s stable, and it’s also among the cheapest — actually, make that least expensive — ways to get yourself a ticket into the Scuderia, with a starting price of $222,420, including $3,750 for destination. (The lovely Blu Corsa example you see pictured here has enough visual and functional options to drive its price up to $316,240.)
It’s also among the most svelte and, in my humble opinion, perhaps the best looking of the modern Ferraris. It’s certainly the most distinctive, with a sharp, low nose and a pair of headlights squinting out on either end of a unique, body-colored grille that’s a matrix of ever-widening holes.
The rear, though, is even more of a departure from prior Ferraris. It’s understated and a bit plain compared to the nose but punctuated by four, smallish taillights integrated into a diminutive spoiler. Only the quad exhaust pipes and the oversized, raw carbon diffuser are typical Ferrari. Well, and the prancing horse badging.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not your typical Ferrari interior, and a somewhat problematic steering wheel.
Tim Stevens/Roadshow
To see the biggest changes of all, though, you’ll need to sit inside. The Roma has the same abbreviated two-plus-two layout as the Portofino — that is to say it’ll seat two with comfort and an additional two with discomfort — but despite those cars sharing a platform and an engine, there’s more different here than there is similar. So much so that it’s hard to know where to begin, but I’ll start with the new infotainment system, which looks like a chonky tablet wedged between the seats. It’s not dissimilar in size and placement from what you might expect in a McLaren, its functions primarily for HVAC and also multimedia. This means the passenger can actually cue up some tunes, something that isn’t so easy to do in the F8 Tributo, for example. 
Beneath that screen rests a gear selector that’s cheekily styled to look like a gated shifter of yore, but is actually a row of three switches used to activate reverse and to switch between manual and automatic shifting. This is the same design found on Ferrari’s other new car, the SF90 Stradale. Appropriate, since the Roma and the SF90 share a transmission. It’s an eight-speed, dual-clutch unit that’s lighter than the seven-speed unit found in the Portofino.
The engine, though, is the same basic lump. Ferrari’s 3.9-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 produces 612 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque in the Roma, which is slightly more than what you get in its other applications and here exclusively driving the rear wheels.
Those wheels are situated just as far apart as they are on the Portofino, but the Roma is almost three inches longer and about two inches wider. Crucially, it’s also some 200 pounds lighter, weighing 3,461 pounds. All this conspires to create a car that is somehow comfortable and touring-friendly yet sprightly and nimble.
On the highway, the Roma is quite comfortable, its ride more pleasantly damped than you’d expect given the ultralow-profile 245/35ZR20 front and 285/35ZR20 rear tires. Likewise, the steering isn’t quite so manic as that of the F8 and even the brake pedal has a relatively long, easy-to-modulate throw that makes tootling through stop lights a nausea-free affair for your passengers. There’s a generous amount of headroom, a decent-sized trunk and really only a bit of a droning exhaust note mars the touring experience here. The Roma gives up nothing compared to more touring-focused sports cars like the Aston Martin DB11, for example.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s even a decent trunk.
Tim Stevens/Roadshow
This is even a Ferrari with a modicum of active safety features, including adaptive cruise control and a lane-departure warning system. Mind you, there’s no active lane-keep assist here, just an obnoxious beep whenever you stray anywhere near the lines at the edge of your lane, something you might be apt to do when driving a new Ferrari on a twisty road. “So, just disable the system,” I hear you saying, but there’s a problem: You can’t do that while you’re moving. You need to stop the car before you can gain access to the various menus required to do such a thing.
And that takes me to the worst part of this car: the interface. The Roma borrows the same capacitive-touch steering wheel found in the SF90. Usually, when a more attainable Ferrari shares a wheel with a racier one it’s a positive thing, a standout touchpoint that makes it feel more special. Here, that touchpoint has the makings of a disaster movie.
This new wheel takes the same approach as other modern Ferraris, cramming the most important controls all onto the wheel. I really like how this works in other cars, like the F8 or 488 before it. But I hate how it’s done here. Many of the formerly tactile controls have been replaced by a series of touch-sensitive areas. This covers everything from that engine starter — now accomplished by double-tapping the bottom of the wheel — to scrolling through the car’s various menus.
Some problems are subtle, like the lagging response from the thumb controller that always has me scrolling past the menu item I want. Other problems are more serious, like the placement of the touch control that triggers the in-car voice assistant. Positioned directly beneath the left turn signal, it’s not a question of if you’ll hit this accidentally but rather when and how often. In my approximately six hours spent behind the wheel of the Roma I accidentally triggered the voice assistant eight times. Yes, I counted. 
Tim Stevens/Roadshow
Even at the best of times the integrated voice system is sluggish. I have to say “find me a restaurant” twice, once to toggle over to the navigation interface and a second time to actually search the restaurants. The overall process takes 30 seconds. On my Android phone, the same search takes less than five.
And that irritating lane-keep beeping? The setting to adjust that is buried in a few of those annoying submenus, locked while the car is in motion. Changing the following distance of the adaptive cruise also requires digging a whopping three submenus deep. This is neither easy to do while driving nor intuitive. 
This kind of performance would be unacceptable on a $200 budget tablet. This is a $200,000 Ferrari.   
Those menus are displayed on the wide, curved virtual gauge cluster that sits behind the steering wheel and, at first glance, is quite striking. You’ll quickly realize it’s also quite sluggish, the different panes stuttering as they lazily make their way across the display. This is the kind of performance that would be unacceptable on a $200 budget tablet. This is a $200,000 Ferrari. 
Ferrari assures me that a software update is coming before this car will be shipped to customers, and hopefully that will fix the performance-related woes and maybe clean up the menus, too. I don’t see how the company is going to solve the issue of the placement of the voice assistant control, however, without some sort of redesign.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s a special thing.
Tim Stevens/Roadshow
Thankfully, there’s one, still physical, control that works exactly as intended: the little red manettino on the steering wheel that cycles through driving modes. I sadly spend a disappointing amount of time in Rain, as much of my experience was in the midst of a torrential downpour, not to mention awful traffic. But when I finally find some clear roads, toggling over through Sport and into Race, the Roma responds just as quickly. 
Though the steering in Race still isn’t as flirty as the company’s more pure sports cars, it’s light and sublimely sharp, the Roma rotating effortlessly and wagging its tail with glee when accelerating out of corners. The transmission, typically sedate, becomes ferociously quick and any doubts about this car’s provenance are immediately erased. 
The Roma is a sublime drive when piloted aggressively and surprisingly sweet when your demands fall more on the touring side. It’s saddled with a fundamentally disappointing control interface, however, that makes the simple act of using your turn signals or adjusting the cruise following distance incredibly frustrating. This is a car that gets the hard stuff right yet sadly gets the easy stuff very, very wrong.

How To: Tips and Tricks for Electric Scooter Maintenance and Safety
20 years ago, no one would have imagined that electric scooters would reach the height that it has reached now. The electric ride skyrocketed to popularity during the last decade, and is continuing to make waves in the e-ride industry. A growing number of people, from adults, teenagers, and even children use e-scooters for both travel and leisure.
Tumblr media
However, just like any other electric ride, it is essential to an electric scooter’s riding safety measures, and maintenance.  One can definitely make the most out of his e-scooter experience knowing that he is safe during the ride, and that his scooter is in its best condition.
In this article, we will give you some tips and tricks on how to properly maintain your favorite compact e-ride, and of course, how to safely have fun while at it.
Importance of Electric Scooter Maintenance    
Unlike manual scooters, e-scooters require a different type of looking after. Although they are technically easy to maintain, doing so regularly will help keep them safe to use and smoothly sailing on the road.
Regular e-scooter maintenance reduces the likelihood of major problems and increases the functionality of your trusty e-ride. It also saves the owner money from future repairs. Simply, putting a little extra effort on looking after your e-scooter will save you from greater trouble in the future.
Moreover, a well-maintained e-scooter means that you can rely on it whenever or wherever you want and need it.  
So, before we give you some comprehensive tips on maintaining your electric scooter, let’s first find out why doing so is essential!
It doesn’t cost much—you can do it yourself! It’s a known fact that some have purchased an e-scooter knowing that switching to it is more cost-effective and budget-friendly. This is true, and the fact that one doesn’t need to splurge money on maintenance makes it even more favorable. It can be done with simple tools that can already be found in your garage, and it levels up your handy skills too. It’s a win-win situation!
Regular maintenance eliminates serious hazards. Just like any other ride that takes on the road, an unmaintained e-scooter could be a disaster waiting to happen. But if the owner checks it up regularly, he would know once there are repairs that need to be done, or if there are any parts that need top be replaced. This way, you’re not only taking care of your e-scooter, you’re keeping you and the people around you safe from fatal accidents.
It keeps your riding much more enjoyable. A well-maintained electric scooter puts your mind at ease at all times. No need to worry about flat tires or a faulty battery—all you need to do is hop on and enjoy your ride! Just make sure that you are equipped with the right protective gear, and you’re ready to go!
Tumblr media
These are just some of the reasons why you need to look after your e-scooter properly. Now that you know the essence of keeping an eye on your e-scooter, it’s time to learn how to do it properly.  
Electric Scooter Maintenance Tips
If you’ve just bought your e-scooter a few months ago, and notice a slight (or relevant) decline on its performance, then chances are it needs upkeeping. As we have stressed in the earlier parts of this article, regular maintenance can mean the reliability of one’s e-scooter. When it’s done often (and properly, of course), you are sure to have your money’s worth.
If you want your e-scooter to run for years, you need to know how to take care of it! Here are a few important tasks you should be mindful of.
Make sure you charge the battery often. An electric scooter isn’t what it is without a battery. While it can still be used like a manual scooter with the batteries off, that will take away the variety of a hassle-free travel. E-scooters are equipped with lithium-ion batteries. Unlike the lead-acid batteries of the past, these innovations are able to provide better functionality and longer-lasting power. However, batteries of this type also have a life cycle. So, to maximize the life of your battery, it is important to make sure you charge it to 100% every few days, or after every ride. Tip: Do not let the battery get drained! A complete charging cycle happens when you drain the battery, and charge it back up to a hundred percent. Doing this often will cause the battery to lose the ability to hold a full charge, thus shortening a scooter’s range. A better way to do it is to charge your e-scooter every ride.
Store it somewhere safe. The general rule of thumb for e-scooter maintenance is to prevent as much damage as possible. One good way to start is storing it somewhere safe and secure. When choosing where to keep an electric scooter, it is important to consider two things: sunlight and temperature. You would want to keep it somewhere it wouldn’t get hit by direct sunlight, and with stable temperatures. Keeping it somewhere too warm or too cold might damage the battery and cause other components to break down sooner. Tip: If you’re using your e-scooter to commute or run errands, bring it inside as much as possible. This will keep it from elements and conditions that might cause general wear and tear.
Check tyre pressure before riding. This task goes the same for all kind of rides, electric or not. Proper tyre inflation will help you range the maximum range without putting too much pressure on the e-scooter’s motor. You can use a simple bike tyre gauge to do this. Additionally, you should check your tyres for damage all the time. This will let you know if they would need replacement. They should also be kept at the right pressure to avoid too much wear on the inner tube. Tip: Bring a patch kit with you whenever you ride! This way, you could fix minor tyre issues without interrupting your commute.  
Inspect cables as often as possible. An electric scooter’s brake system relies on a series of wires and cables to operate. When the cables are in mint condition, the brakes properly. However, when the brakes are old, rusted or damaged, the brakes wouldn’t work as well as they should. Worst case scenario, they would fail to work at all. This is why you should inspect the cables often. Make sure that the plastic casing for the cables are intact. The same goes for the throttle cable when inspecting the brakes.
Tumblr media
While you’re at it, you should check the brake system itself as well. This would include the brake pads, discs or rotors. IF you notice something that needs to be replaced, have it serviced right away.
Tip: Once you notice any serious damage on the cables, housing, or the brakes themselves, do not try to salvage it yourself! It’s best if a professional attend to this kind of situations.
Keep the components clean and lubricated as much as you can. Cleaning your electric scooter at least once a week is important not just to keep it neat to look at. It also saves your ride from damage caused by unattended dirt and other elements. Remove any stubborn dirt, mud, and plants that could jam the wheels. You should also make sure that all joints and parts properly lubricated so that they won’t grind against each other. Tips: Use lukewarm water when cleaning your scooter. Make sure that you don’t get any electrical components wet. Be extra careful when you have to work around those areas. Hen lubricating, avoid using household lubricants. Make sure that you use lubricants designed for e-bikes and e-scooters.
Last but definitely not the least…
Set up and annual inspection. If you’re using e-scooter as your primary means of transportation, then D.I.Y. maintenance steps might not be enough to keep it in good condition. In this case, it’s best to schedule yearly check-up with your most reliable mechanic. Mechanics will be able to perform wholistic inspection on your e-scooter, and make repairs until it’s too late. Moreover, they would be able to spot issues that you might have overlooked, saving you from bigger trouble. Tip: If you don’t know where to take you e-scooter, you can ask from advice from the shop where you bought it from/ More often than not, they have mechanics that are help you, or recommend someone they trust. Once you’re able to perform these maintenance tasks, you are sure to enjoy a worry-free electric scooter ride!
Electric Scooter Riding Safety      
Aside from knowing how to give your e-scooter its much-needed TLC, it’s also important to know how to ride in it safely. All the steps mentioned above might be useless when the rider ignores to follow safety guidelines.
Electric scooters might be fun to ride, but they can also pose a threat to their owners when improperly used. To avoid this from happening, let us show you some of the things you need to must know before and while riding an e-scooter.
Always wear protective gear. Whether it be for commuting of leisure, an e-scooter ride must always be protected. One wouldn’t know when an accident might happen, and he could save himself from the worst by wearing personal protective equipment Tip: Wear a durable helmet and mouth guard if possible. Elbow and knee straps and gloves may serve as additional protective gear as well.  
Avoid riding in wet conditions, and slippery surfaces. Although an e-scooter is able to handle exposure to water, it doesn’t mean that one could ride through it frequently. Water makes it difficult for the tyres to support the scooter. If it gets trapped inside the joints, it might cause the metal to rust. If riding in such conditions can’t be helped, make sure that your scooter is thoroughly dry before continuing your journey. Tip: Keep it on a low speed when you have to ride on wet or slippery surfaces. You should also keep your eyes peeled for possible metal corrosion, and clean it off with an approved rust remover.
Be aware of everything, and that includes your surroundings. Electric scooters are generally unnoticeable because of their sleek design. This is why e-scooter riders should be more mindful of their surroundings when gliding through busy streets. If you’re riding through a busy street, it is only logical not to perform any e-scooter tricks that might lead to serious accidents. Look out for pedestrians, and be sure to follow traffic rules. One should also avoid tailgating (in all shapes and forms), and most especially, using their phones when riding. Tip: If you’re planning to ride your e-scooter at night, it would be ideal to get a model that has built-in tail lights. However, if you already have one that doesn’t come with such specification, you can always purchase customizable lights and have them fit your e-scooter. 
Beware of road barriers. When one has too much fun riding his scooter, he might not be able to keep an eye out for road defects such as bumps, potholes, or cracks. This is one thing that you should not miss, as it one of the main reasons of scooter accidents. Once you are nearing a barrier, you should decrease your speed until you come to a full stop. If a full stop is impossible, then slowly head into a clear path where you can avoid barriers. Tip: Keep an eye out for puddles. They might not look harmful, but they could be dangerous, especially when riding through the wet weather.
Never ride your electric scooter during a lightning storm. While a little rain might be bearable for an e-scooter, the same doesn’t go for lightning storms, or other harsher conditions. Lightning can pose serious harm to someone who rides any type of electric ride. Once this occurs, you must stop using your e-scooter, and find a safe spot to take shelter in.
Tumblr media
Knowing how to properly take care of and use your electric scooter will not only give you the best performance, it will also ensure that you are safe and sound wherever and whenever you ride it.
It also helps that you purchase your e-scooter from electric rideable shops like E-Ride Solutions, just to guarantee that you get nothing but the best quality electric scooters, and top-rated service that you deserve.
Got questions or anything to share about your e-scooter? Comment down and let us know what you think!

Gearless Vs. Non-Geared Bicycle: Which Is The Best Option For You?
Tumblr media
If you’re not a regular rider, you may not know the difference between a geared and a non-geared bicycle. Just as the name suggests, geared cycles are those that come with a number of gears while a bicycle without gear is one that does not have any gears or shifters. Each of these types of cycles has its own benefits as well as drawbacks.
If you’re planning to buy a bicycle and are not sure whether to choose a geared or a non-geared bicycle then this guide will give you all the necessary insight into both the bicycle types.
Gearless Bicycles
These are traditional bicycles commonly used by people. This is the most common type of bicycle in India and has only one gear. There are two types of gearless bicycles:
- Free Wheel Cycle
This is called a free wheeled bicycle because the wheel in this type of cycle is free from the movement of the cog. The cog is attached to the rear wheel by means of bearing tools and as such the wheel moves independently of the cog. As you pedal on, the cog puts forward the wheel in the directions of the pedaling but also, your wheel will not stop moving when you stop pedaling and rather keep moving forward. You will need to use the brakes to slow down the cycle. This type of bicycle has both front and rear gears to control the movement of the cycle.
- Fixed Wheel Cycle
The rear cassette of a fixed wheel bicycle is locked with a lockring, which means the speed of the bicycle will depend on how fast or slow you pedal. In this type of cycle, both the wheel and the cog are dependent on each other. As you keep pedaling forward or backward accordingly the wheel will move forward or backward. This type of bicycle is suitable for those who have gained some control over riding a bicycle.
Geared Bicycles
These are modern-day bicycles that are designed with innovative cogs to cover long distances in a short span of time. These bicycles come with gears or shifters that you change in order to adjust how fast or slow you want to go.this type of cycle makes it easy to ride in different types of terrain. You can use a high gear to go downhill and a low gear to go uphill, use a medium gear for flat roads. The ability to shift gears thus makes for smooth riding experience. The best bicycle brands in India. 
Comparing Gearless And Geared Bicycle
Both geared and the non-geared cycle has advantages as well as disadvantages and by comparing their pros and cons you can decide better which is the ideal choice for you.
- Usage
Geared cycles are comparatively easy to use whereas you need to learn the different high and low gear mechanisms to be used in different terrains in order to proficiently use a geared bicycle.
- Terrain
Although gearless bicycles can be used for a little bumpy ride within the city, geared bicycles are highly suitable for rough terrains as well. The different gears present in the bicycle allows you to drive across different terrains with ease.
- Maintenance
Both geared and gearless cycles are made of components that are susceptible to rusting after prolonged use and as such both require maintenance from time to time. However, geared cycles may be a little costlier on maintenance as it may require changing cogs from time to time, which can be a little expensive.
- Distance
Gearless bicycles are a good option if you simply want to commute within the city like going to work or going to school. They are not meant for riding long distances. A bicycle without gear, on the other hand, are known for their speed and can cover long distances within a short period of time
- Comfort
Gearless bicycles comprise of only one gear, which means the speed of the bicycles is dependent on how hard you push the pedals and this can eventually tire your legs out. Gearless bicycle, on the other hand, balances comfort with its multiple gear mechanism.

The 2019 Cannondale Trail 6 Mountain Bike: The Full Review
Well-built with an accessible price point, the Trail 6 is the newest mid-range mountain bike from Cannondale. Cannondale’s known for having a balance of price, smart components, and quality of build in their bikes. This makes them great for beginners or intermediate bikers.
The new Cannondale Trail 6 is a hardtail with a 100 mm SR Suntour fork in the front and Shimano hydraulic disc brakes in the rear. What do these parts mean? Well, it’s going to be a great choice as someone’s first entry into the real world of mountain biking. If you’re one to frequent gravel bike paths or smooth single tracks, this is a good choice as well.
We’re going to do a deep dive into this bike’s features, components, and our personal opinion in this full Cannondale Trail 6 review. But first, let’s break down the quick specs:
Cannondale Six Mountain Bike: Specs
Wheel Size: 27.5 or 29 inches Bike Frame: Alloy C2 Suspension: 100 mm front (great for cross-country riding) Gears: 2×9 Weight: 30 lbs Brakes: Disc brakes Derailleur Gears: Shimano Acera and MicroShift Fork: Suntour XCM-RL Current Price: Under $1000 (check the listed price now!)
Benefits Overview: 
This bike has a high-quality aluminum frame with modern geometry. It delivers a solid performance on a variety of trails, making it truly versatile for mountain biking and hill climbs. It’s good during both descents and ascents. This is a great option for new riders.
Drawbacks Overview:
Some components on this bike are entry-level. While that’s not the worst thing, dedicated riders might prefer upgrades. This is a more technical singletrack bike, so higher quality components could improve its overall performance.
Cannondale Trail 6 Features Overview
In our Cannondale Trail 6 review, we found that what makes this bike so exceptional is how all the components work together for a smooth and exhilarating ride. This bike is the sum of its parts. If you’re already pumped, you can buy the bike now! Otherwise, stick around and check out what benefits each component offers below:
Frame
The frame of the Cannondale Trail Six consists of C2 Alloy that was specially reinforced for trail riding. The technology used in the material helps to absorb a high level of vibration from the road. The frame keeps you balanced, smooth, and steady as you ride.
The frame is durable and double-welded yet still light. You’ll even notice that the weight is evenly distributed throughout the entire body. This frame is the same one that is fitted for much more expensive models. Consider that as part of the major value you’re getting from this bike.
Tumblr media
CHECK CURRENT PRICE
Steering/Fork
The Trail 6 comes complete with a Suntour XCT 100mm fork with coil springs. Its pre-load option means it won’t compress unless it sustains a pretty big hit. The remote-handling lockout feature will minimize energy loss. 
You’ll notice a switch fitted on to the handlebar. This allows for engaged or disengaged suspension whenever you want. It’s responsive and will work well on easy to mid-level rides.
The Cannondale Trail 6 mountain bike doesn’t have overly aggressive ergonomics. This makes it great for an entry-level bike.
Derailleurs and Drivetrain
The Trail 6 from Cannondale boasts a 2×9 drivetrain from Shimano. Shimano is a giant in the cycling industry, and they are known for producing a large selection of top-notch gear. Put simply, with a Shimano drivetrain, you can rest assured of its quality. It’s nice and light, which entails great speed ability and nimbleness. The drivetrain is powered by a KMC X9 chain, which is a standard 9-speed for this price range. It can last a long time as long as you clean and regularly lube it.
While we were excited by the drivetrain on this bike, we were a tad disappointed by the derailleurs. We’ve got the powerful Shimano Acera Shadow shifting in the rear, but the front side has Microshift.
Microshift isn’t the worst set up. However, there are better options out there. With Microshift, you might notice some shifting if you’re doing a lot of uphill trail work. The derailleurs shouldn’t give out, but they don’t do well in maintaining tension in the long run.
Brakes and Tires
Depending on the size of the frame you choose, your bike will either come with 27.5” tires or 29” tires. The Cannondale Trail 6 29er is just a slightly larger model with a larger frame. Regardless of the tire, all of them will be WTB Ranger Comp 2.25”.
These tires use a micro-square tread to give a lot of traction on even the smoothest of rides. The knobs aren’t too big and won’t slow you down on paved roads. The only time the small knobs could present an issue is in wet or muddy conditions when they might not grip as well.
A mountain bike like this one has lots of stopping power with its Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. With 160mm rotors fitted on the front and rear wheels, you’ll have equally distributed force when stopping. If you press the braking levers with your hands, you’ll feel the serious kind of control it promises.
Tumblr media
Ready for a ride that gives you full control? Check out the Cannondale Six Mountain Bike today!
Pedals and Saddle
There’s so much that stands out about this bike. Unfortunately, the saddle and pedals aren’t part of that. These are pretty standard features across all of the Cannondale bikes within the same price range.
Standard components aren’t a bad thing. And it says something that Cannondale’s pedals and saddle have not received a ton of negative reviews or complaints. Sure, there might be a more comfortable saddle, but it’s also not the worst one out there.
The flat pedals are the Cannondale Platform option. These aren’t clipless, but if that’s what you prefer, it’s easy to fit them to this model.
What It’s Like to Ride
While the components and specifications of a bike are important to know before buying, they’re not the most important.
If you’re a cyclist, the most important thing to you is the ride. You want to know how it will feel on the trail when it’s just you and the bike. That’s why we took the Trail 6 for a test drive to clue you in on just how it feels to ride.
Most bikes will either stand out in their climbing or descending power. What’s so distinct about this model, besides the affordable Cannondale trail 6 price, is that it’s great all around. 
It’s versatile enough for an easy ride with friends and family but also shines with speed and precision on a fast singletrack. It’s a true generalist in that sense. It performs satisfactorily in several different circumstances. From hill climbing to cross-country trekking, you can do anything with the Trail 6.
When descending, the solid traction will help you feel secure and balanced. There might be a slight loss of grip in muddy, greasy, or wet conditions, but that’s a risk for any bike and tread. There’s very little rolling resistance, which makes for great transitions from trails to sidewalks and beyond.
For hill climbs, the Trail 6 can also motor its way up steep hills. The upright geometry of the bike will make extended climbs pretty comfortable. Also, the front suspension’s remote can lock out the fork to create a more efficient uphill ride. While super bumpy and rocky terrain might be too much, a gentle uphill slope is just right.

Benefits
High-quality components from Shimano ensures extended years of worry-free performance
Frame built with tough yet lightweight aluminum C2 Alloy; a great foundation for future upgrades
Versatile handling for both bike paths and singletrack trails thanks to grippy and fast-rolling tires.
For smaller riders, smaller frame size option with 27.5-inch wheels available for improved fit and performance 
Rack mounts on the bike make it easy to tote along for commutes
A great option for a first “real” mountain bike
Durable brakes perform even under heavy stress
Remote lockout option is a big plus for steep uphill climbs
Lifetime warranty included
Drawbacks
Derailleurs could be better; you might want to invest in upgrades
Small tire knobs may present issues in wet or muddy conditions
The SR Suntour suspension fork doesn’t perform well on singletrack trails that require technical riding; should not be a problem for beginner riders
No dropper seat makes steep descents difficult; to fix this, simply dismount and re-adjust the seat
Quick-release axles may be dated and less efficient; components can be upgraded with thru-axles
Final Review
This is a solid choice for a bike if you’re new to the mountain biking scene. It will serve you well on a variety of terrains. You’ll find ease in both trekking uphill and flying downhill, thanks to components like a remote lockout, Shimano drivetrain, and pre-load option. If you’re new to the trail life and you see a Cannondale Trail 6 for sale, don’t miss your chance.
