I think I realized what the problem is… I have a specialized alum mountain bike. In the rear sometimes the tires rub against the rear of the frame because the wheels get out of place when I’m straining going uphill climbs. I think its because my wheel clamps.. the long rob and clamp that keeps my wheel in place is stripped? Meaning where the metal from the clamp meets the metal where the hub rests on the frame is grinded down giving no grip at all. The metal seems kind of worn down and getting thin on the frame itself there. What can I do so keep the wheel in place so it doesn’t move around in rough situations?
I have a mountain bike with frame mounted brakes. The rear brakes have always made a loud squeak even when I replace the pads.
So i got a full spension mountain bike and i need to add air to the rear shock. But the stem on the rear shock is too short. When i use my air compressor to add air, the nozzle of the air compressor wont fully connect to the stem on the shock because the body of the shock is in the way. its hard to explain, but long story short, i think i need a stem extension or something like that. do they make those? anyone got a better idea?
thanks
I have a 5 year old Bianchi “Ocelot” mountain bike, that has rust on the rear derailleur / “gear hub”. How can i effectively remove and clean it so that it looks new and won’t interfere with the performance?
I know that getting rear suspension on a mountain bike eats up some of the energy I use to pedal the bike, but can someone give me an idea of how much? How much will this effect me on a long bike ride?
Am I going to notice an increase in effort if I go from a hard tail to a full suspension bike?
