How to get into Mountain biking? what do I need?
I went mountain biking yesterday, I loved it I did all the trail and obstacles. I am looking for a mountain bike. I am thinking diamondback response series. What do I need for clothing? padded shorts?
Well I am looking for th Diamondback response. Is that a good bike? Should I not get it from a sporting store? like REI?
What you should be looking for to start out is a good bike shop. They can quickly narrow down what you can get for your budget and ability.
Things to look for include proper fit, a front suspension fork, maybe a Rear Suspension post, and a good brand name. The better known brands include Trek, Gary Fisher, Giant, Specialized, Fuji, and Canondale. These brands have been around awhile and with good reason. They have good warranties, and are sold through bike shops. A bike shop will save you money long term. The service alone will make up the difference in cost between a department store and a bike shop.
You are going to love this sport! But, remember there is personal risk involved. I highly recommend a helmet. I’ve wrecked a pair, broken a collar bone, gotten some scratches, but never a concussion. That’s a really big deal. A helmet is the cheapest insurance policy you can get.
A good pair of bike shorts, a pair of padded bike gloves, a good pair of bike shoes, and at least 1 water bottle with cage would be a good place to start. If you start getting rough, you can get body armor.
Most of all, find a group you like riding with and start riding with them. They will make you a better rider. Almost without fault, bicyclists are some of the most generous people with their time, advice, and knowledge that you will ever meet.
Hope you have fun!
