Mountain Bike Lighting Systems
How can I make my bike a smoother ride?
Short of getting a new fork/suspension, i don’t know any way to make small things like riding off curbs less jarring. My bike is a sort of hybrid between a road bike and a mountain bike, with a moderately light frame. but the thing about the suspension is it doesn’t exist. i don’t have any shock absorbers, springs, etc, and i can’t afford to go all out and get a good fork. what are some (cheap) things i can do to make a smoother ride in that respect?
Would tire pressure have an effect? i’m saying this because of the Hummer H2′s CTS system, which at the press of a button basically deflates the tire for tough off-road situations, and replaces the air for the road.
Ok, so tire deflation is out, and my seat is very soft. So is there absolutely nothing I could do besides getting a new fork??
Yes, slightly deflating the tires would increase the smoothness of your right, but may cause damage to the rims if you deflate them too much. Also, you might try to find a softer seat. The gel ones are pretty nice. But yeah, I usually stand up on the petals when I go off a curb on my BMX bike, so it isn’t so bad.
