Mountain Bike Climbing

Mountain biking is a ride in the mountains, so climbing it is an indispensable part of this sport. In addition to having a strong body and sufficient strength, proper cycling skills also help drivers successfully handle a variety of mountain trails. Whether or not the bicycle can be moved forward and upward depends on two key factors: the size of the power transmission system and the strength, and the friction between the wheel and the ground. The size and strength of the powertrain are directly related to the strength and strength of the rider’s body. Friction is related to cycling skills, the type of bicycle tires, the center of gravity of the driver's body, and the pressure on the tires.

Steep slopes, soft sparkling stones and low friction

The secret to ensuring that the Bike is moving forward during the climbing process is to achieve optimal coordination between the rider's body weight distribution, riding posture, strength, stepping style, and optimal route.

Weight distribution When climbing steep slopes that are difficult to climb, some riders are used to taking a standing position. This is more effective on a hard texture and frictional ground, but in typical off-road sports, the situation is not great. Same. At this point, cycling skills show its important role. Drivers should try to move the body's center of gravity to the rear of the Seat and increase the pressure on the rear wheels, thereby increasing friction. However, in doing so, the front wheels are easily tilted up, making it more difficult to ride the bike, and it is also possible to fall backwards. If the center of gravity moves forward, the front wheel will not leave the ground, but the rear wheel may idly spin on the soft soil. As a result, the bicycle is difficult to move.

After taking into consideration the various factors mentioned above, the rider should adjust the position of the body's center of gravity according to the terrain. In order to achieve the best distribution of body weight, the rider's buttocks may be sitting on the front of the seat only lightly.

The size of the power and the way to step on the pedal In order to be able to drive the bicycle forward, the rider must continuously and smoothly transmit energy to the power system. If you use too much force, you may reduce the friction; if you use too little force, it may slow down the speed, or cause the bike to stop. If the pedals are slammed up and down, instead of smoothly moving the pedals in an annular motion, the wheels will slip due to the friction with the ground and will idle in place.

Technical crawling

The various rules that apply when climbing steeper slopes also apply to technical climbing. The only difference is that the technical crawler does not require the driver to specifically find the right cycling route. The driver can only find a road between the rocky, ravine or unexpected tree roots. Visually look at the ground within 5 meters and choose the best lane. However, once you have determined your cycling route, don't change it.

Long-distance climbing

A variety of general cycling rules apply to this type of exercise, but the specific rules are based on the degree of difficulty of the terrain and the slope of the slope. However, in order to be able to ride the entire distance, the driver must do what he can to choose the right speed and gear ratio. To conquer all slopes requires the driver to be physically strong, have sufficient strength, master considerable cycling skills, and be able to take a correct attitude towards the sport.

In the beginning, some drivers were not physically strong enough to cope with certain types of slopes. However, with enough exercise, the situation can be improved. When you begin training, do not aim at the entire mountain. Start with what you have to deal with, and then gradually move to a more difficult step. In addition, remember that you can achieve the goal as long as you can achieve it. Don't worry about when. If you are confident that you can conquer most of the slopes, you need to consider the speed issue.

How to start a new bike on a soft, steep slope

Once the bike has stopped on a slope, starting from a new start is not an easy task. The driver must get out of the car and walk a few steps forward, or step back and choose the right place to start again. The choice must be flat and frictional, such as a relatively flat rock. At the same time, gears with gear ratios that are not too large are chosen as long as they can cope with the current situation. If it is too big, the bicycle may still break down. After choosing the right gear, use the most used and most powerful leg to shake the bike while holding down the brake. When the bike starts to move forward, place the other foot on the pedal and then apply it smoothly. Accelerate until you return to the predetermined lane. Another good way is to park the bike in the lane and wait for it to start and drop it off.
