Mountain Bike Riding Gear
what is the best gear to ride a mountain bike on flat surfaces ?
ok riding my bike is entirely too much work i have a mongoose and i just cant seem to ever gain speed with it ive tried shifting through all the gears and i either am peadling too fast so i shift up and then its way too much work, with no inbetween i assumed i was just out of shape untill i road my friends bike which worked exactly like a bike should i pedal and i propel forward with not a whole lot of work
so does anyone know why this happens and how i can fix it?
First off you want a pair of slick/street tires.
Less rolling resistance and less pedaling resistance.
Keep the air preasure high.
Many bikes sold are equiped with front and rear gears that are there because of cost,not because of thought [gear ratios]
At times to change a crank with another can assist greatly.
Here’s a few links that can be helpfull for those whom wish to learn about gear ratios.
