The Importance of Your Mountain Biking Accessories

The Importance of Your Mountain Biking Accessories

All adventure sports have their set of must have accessories and gears. Basically these are required to maintain safety and comfort to the riders. Here we get a rough idea of these must have items and what are their uses and importance in mountain biking.

All adventure sports have their set of must have accessories and gears. Basically these are required to maintain safety and comfort to the riders. Here we get a rough idea of these must have items and what are their uses and importance in mountain biking.

Mountain Bike Gear – Choice of the Biker

There are a number of mountain biking accessories available in the market at vide price range. But it’s the personal responsibility of those involved in this sport to choose what is extremely important for them and whether it suits their budget. It is also important to carry spare parts depending on the type of bike in question.

Basically the list accessories required for mountain biking depends mostly on the type of bike used and the kind of event, even the time of event contributes in deciding what is required and what is not. Generally all mountain bikers carry helmets and gloves, but serious racers have to carry elbow and kneepads compulsorily as falling off is very common. All these accessories are extremely necessary for the biker’s safety.

While participating in overnight events it is extremely important to include headlight and taillight in the must carry list. The headlight illuminates the path ahead, thus allowing you to keep moving, whereas the taillight helps you to stay visible to the riders behind you. These lights are usually operated with the help of batteries charged by generators or re-chargers.

Quality bikes, worth the high price

A well-trained rider who performs stunts and ventures on extreme grounds prefers the fully rigid mountain bike. These bikes have soft rubber tires to increase traction and double ply rims to prevent dents.

They also carry an extra set of tires to avoid delay due to flat tires. Kick stand are mostly removed to prevent accidents.

Nowadays using end pieces on the handlebars has become a common practice, since major falls are very common in mountain biking. These end pieces prevent the hollow bars from puncturing. Generally these end pieces can be fitted on straight or slightly bent handlebars and not on curved or racing handlebars.

Nowadays there are many mountain bike resorts offering their services to these thrill seekers. Unlike ski resorts, these mountain bike resorts have special lifts to elevate these bikers to the top of the hill, from where they can ride downhill. So once a rider feels he is well trained and has all the required equipment he can venture out the slopes and enjoy the thrill.

I have a specialized sirrus sport bicycle. What basic accessories should I purchase for me and the bike?

Question by mutchiii: I have a specialized sirrus sport bicycle. What basic accessories should I purchase for me and the bike?
I know some basics. Kick stand, helmet, water bottle, lights, bike lock; but what I need to know is other items you want to suggest for me. And best choices for the money. And money I should spend on each item taking safety and security into consideration. I ride the canal and bike paths along the roads for exercise and fun. The best helmet and lighting are my biggest concern since I sometimes ride after dusk. And the best place to make my purchases too please.

Answer by Grillparzer
Bike bag with a CO2 charger or get an under the top tube air pump, tube patch kit or a spare tube (learn to change the tire if you don’t know how or get thorn resistant tubes, they’re worth the money), tire levers, $ 20 bill (for an emergency ride home) and two $ 1 bills (emergency patch if you hole your tire). Of the items I’ve listed, you’ll be able to find all of them at your local bicycle store. For my commutes to work I use a Magicshine headlight, available from Geomangear.com, and either a Radbot 1000 or two Planet Bike “3″ blinkie lights on back depending on how much gear I carry. The rear lights I bought on line at Amazon.com. If the Magicshine isn’t what your looking for, do a Google search for the Princeton Tec Eos. It’s a good conventional battery light.

There are of course less expensive items out there then some of the ones I’ve listed, but as a commuter I go for reliability before I worry about price. If you’re not already a member, check out Bikeforums.net, it’s a good source of information.
