Easy bike for adults and children

Many are trying to identify buyers as much as possible with the participants of the races. Therefore, every day, more and more people are addicted to becoming like professional athletes. An easy bicycle, on which there are no unnecessary details like a bell, wings and footboards, is becoming a dream for more than one rider. To improve the driving characteristics of this unit is quite feasible at home.

Why is this necessary?

Most bicycle owners, as a rule, do not participate even in amateur competitions. Their main rival is they themselves. To identify yourself with the idealized image of the rider, you can use both basic ways to improve your vehicle, and more radical, using a drill, saw and other tools. Let's see in detail how to make a bicycle easier.

The smaller the weight of your bike, the better it drives, pick up acceleration, rise uphill, it becomes more convenient to manage. To achieve this effect, you need to ensure that the unit does not have a bunch of unnecessary parts that you do not use.

Getting Started with Tires

To make an easy bike, start with work on his wheels. If your vehicle was purchased at a low price, it is likely to have wide tires. Their chambers are very heavy and significantly affect the weight gain of the entire mechanism. Replacing tires and chambers, you will help your child to get rid of half a kilo of cargo.

This item is very important, because the excess weight on the wheels of a bicycle can rightly be compared to the heavy shoes of a marathon runner. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the fact that, making acceleration, the pilot makes a lot of effort to overclock the round parts of his bike. In this case, relief plays an extremely important role. When you are just starting the race, you do not feel the extra burden, but over time it becomes more and more important.

Replace tires

In order to improve your light bike, replacing tires, you do not have to spend a lot of money. But choosing the right part, pay attention to the fact that she did not have too little weight. The thinner the rubber, which determines its mass, the more likely the appearance of punctures, cuts and ruptures on the surface.

For summer trips it is better to take tires weighing from 450 to 650 grams. For the winter, the kilogram will suit you best. When choosing a rubber, consider the diameter of the wheels of your unit. Ideally, under the main coating, there must be a special layer that protects against punctures.

New wheels

If you want to make a very light bike, you can completely replace the wheels. This item is not so important as installing a new rubber, but it also plays a role in tuning. The level of how smoothly the unit rolls grows from the center of rotation of its elements to their edges. That is, the largest role is played by the mass of the rim, in second place are the spokes, and the bush located in the center does not actually affect this process.

A set of a pair of wheels is called a wilset. Its typical weight is about two and a half kilograms. A strong and reliable set of 1.7-1.8 kg is worth three hundred or four hundred dollars.

Models are more expensive are lighter. For example, a one and a half kilogram wilset will cost you eight hundred dollars. That is, for a fairly small difference in weight will have to overpay twice as much.

If you are serious about further cycling, you need to take into account the fact that buying quality wheels is a useful investment in the future. Even if in time you want to buy a more expensive model of a bike, this vilset can be equipped with a wide rubber, a good pump and use it for trips over long distances.

Weight and Tallness

The easiest bike in the world was produced in America from the carbon fiber. Its weight is 2.7 kg, and the mileage is up to 25 thousand kilometers. Many owners of two-wheeled handsome men try to bring their children closer to these parameters as much as possible. At the same time they are actively arguing about whether the weight loss of the bike affects its ability to easily roll.

Many cyclists hold opinions on the relationship between these two concepts. It is worth noting that when you are driving up, the difficulty in moving appears not because of the weight of your unit, but because the gravity of the earth prevents the lifting. In this case, you have to lift up a mass consisting of your body and the vehicle itself .

It does not matter where the weight is focused: on the frame or in the area of the hydrator behind the back. An easy bicycle makes any exit (including downhill) easier. Your weight also plays a role, and if you drop a few pounds, it will be much easier to manage your vehicle.

Depreciation

If you want the bike to "lose weight" even more, you can take a few more measures to achieve this goal. If the bicycle is inexpensive, the next step of its owner after working with wheels is to replace the shock-absorber fork.

This item of tuning is able to improve and light tricycles. Choosing a new element, you need to have absolute certainty that the bike is quite modern. Its steering column should fit the size of 1.1 / 8 ".

Otherwise, you will not be able to find a plug made for the parameters that were used before. Replacing this part, you will not only get rid of excess weight, but also significantly improve the depreciation properties of your "horse".

Strive for the best

In fact, all budget bikes have in their complete set so-called fork-simulators. This detail is very poorly coping with its main task - ensuring the stability of the hull and softening any irregularities. In addition, it is quite heavy. Because its replacement will benefit your bike and add functionality to it.

Many newcomers claim that their fork-simulators work well. But usually people say that they have never tried a newer model of this part. An easy bicycle (adult) can be improved by replacing the fork and throwing at least half a kilo of it at its expense. At this pleasure will have to spend a considerable amount - about 300-500 cu. But this attachment is very practical, as it improves the driving characteristics of the bike.

Avoid fakes!

The next step, which can be done on the way to creating the ideal bike, is the installation of pipes (they hold the steering wheel and the saddle). Today you can get excellent parts of this type, made of carbon fiber. The material is not only very light. It also absorbs microvibration, making the ride smoother and more comfortable.

When choosing parts from carbon fibers, you need to be very careful. The fact is that in the market you can stumble upon a large number of aluminum elements manufactured in China, covered with a thin layer of carbon.

These parts (and this can be rudders, slots and podsidelniki) do not differ too much in weight from the standard items, although they look much more expensive. You can, of course, take such spare parts, but they will perform an exclusively decorative function, without affecting the running characteristics and weight of your horse.

What else should I do?

After completing all the above steps, you can greatly facilitate your bike. But if the achieved results seem insufficient, and you want to continue tuning, it will take much more money. You can replace the transmission, brakes, seat and even bolts. But these actions will help very little to reduce the weight of the unit, devastating your wallet for many hundreds of dollars.

And if you catch yourself on the fact that you check the weight of every detail of a bicycle on an electronic balance or a carriage, this is a sure sign that it's time to stop. If you follow each gram of your unit, it can go into a mania, which is difficult to get rid of. It is necessary to know in all measure and be able to stop in time.

Note!

If you weigh more than 80 kilograms, the new lightweight bicycle parts will break much faster than the less dense athletes.

The same steps of tuning, as for adults, you can apply in order to improve the children's bicycle. A light steering wheel, good wheels and new pins will greatly improve its running properties and reduce weight.

The main rule of such repairs is rational thinking and a practical approach to upgrade. By sticking to it, you can make your bike perfect for any race.
