Recently, I want to buy a mountain bike, but I don t know how to choose, what should I pay attention

Mainly brands, if the budget is small, choose domestic brands, such as Giant, Merida, UCC, these three brands are more professional in China, and other domestic brands are garbage. Giant's frame is good, Merida's configuration is high, and UCC's balance is high, depending on what the landlord prefers. If you have a big budget, choose foreign brands, such as Trek and Lightning in the United States, LOOK and Time in France.

Don't buy any BMW, Hummer bikes, most of them are fake, copycats produced in Tianjin, the cheapest BMW bikes 13800, no practicality at all. If the landlord's budget is less than 4000, choose a domestic brand, and more than 4000 choose a foreign brand. If there's anything else you don't understand, please ask.

Select the price point according to the application. If it is a long-distance recommendation, Merida 600, Giant 770If you commute to work on a regular basis, riding a Giant 660 is enough.

Also, if you don't have a lot of riding experience or have a tight hand, you can choose to buy a second-hand car. There are posts about used cars** on various cycling networks. Keep an eye out for it.

You can also ask experienced friends to help you take a look at the car and buy it with more confidence.

Pay attention to the size, generally 160-180, suitable for 17-inch frames, 26-inch wheels, and the rest of the performance configuration depends on the shifting and braking.

Mountain bikes are all in accordance with the configuration, the higher the configuration, the better, ** will go up, it is recommended that you go first**shopping. You can take a look at the Maddo hypermarket, they specialize in bicycles, mountain bikes, death bikes, and assembly bikes, which are very good to get started.

First of all, it is necessary to delineate a ** range, and then delineate an occasion that is often used, whether it is a highway or a mountainous area, or a mixed road surface.

Then it's good to decide what model of car to buy.

Psychological price? What is it used for?

At present, there are two brands of mountain bikes--- Giante and Merida, and the main factory is in Taiwan, but in recent years, Giante has become stronger and bigger in terms of output, quality and after-sales, and has now become the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. I have been playing mountain bikes for five years, and I prefer the Giante brand (the after-sales service is better, and the regular accessories are also easy to buy).

When buying a mountain bike, according to my experience, I should pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Find out the main purpose of buying: used to travel can be selected for the 21 speed of Giante, the model can be from 640 to 690, and the price is below 1500 yuan;For leisure riding or off-road, you can choose Giante 740 to 790 models, 24 speed, enough to deal with uphill and bad roads, ** from 1500 to 4000 yuan;For competition or climbing, you need to choose the Gioante eight series or nine series cars, that is, 810 to 890 or higher, the eight series cars have 27 speeds, the nine series cars only come out with 30 speeds, forks, angle frames, transmission, brake system configuration is higher, the price range from 4000 to 15000 yuan.

2. The use is determined and then the car is selected: first of all, the car has a size, the average person buys a seventeen-inch frame, if you are very tall, you can choose a nineteen-inch frame, so that you can feel comfortable when riding;The second is that the fork configuration is very important, not too much, otherwise it will hurt you to ride a bad roader;The third is the brake, if you are a speed type, it is recommended to choose the disc brake, on the contrary, use the V brake;The fourth is the transmission system, but this can rest assured, the transmission of Giante is a Himano kit, ** is not a big problem, you can not consider it;The fifth is the outer tire, do not choose the smooth kind, downhill easy to fall, should choose a good adhesion of the outer tire, or directly when buying a car to change the outer tire, Magis and WTB these two tires are good, ** is not high.

3. Finally, the equipment after buying a car: helmets, gloves, glasses, and cable ties are all indispensable, and the helmet should be *** pointed, don't feel sorry for the money, because it may save you from big damage in case of emergency.

It's all my own experience, I hope it helps you!

Wish: Happy riding, endless fun "riding"!

Merida Challenger 350 can be started, if it is not enough for professional amateurs, there is no need to upgrade in one step.

Buy it in a store, it is not credible on the network, and the after-sales guarantee is not good, pay attention to the size, speed, fork, and speed change, you can first go to the official website to understand the configuration.

1. Specifications of the frame. The appropriate frame should be about 10cm between the crotch and the upper tube of the cyclist. If you're only riding on the spacious roads in the city, it's okay to get a little bigger, and you can't just stick to the numbers in the sales brochure, but you also need to actually cross the top tube to make sure.

2. The height of the saddle. The most suitable height for the saddle is to place your feet on the pedals and the knees are slightly bent when the pedals are turned to the lowest position, so please note that the saddle should not be raised too high.

3. The model of the saddle. If you're only riding in the city, choose a saddle with a good width and elasticity.

4. The position of the handle. Place your elbows parallel to the horizontal tube on the tripod of the frame, place your elbows in front of the saddle, align your arms in the center of the handlebars, and place your fingertips 5cm away from the handlebars to be in a suitable position for the handlebars. If the handles are too forward, leaning forward can put a lot of burden on the back and waist.

When the handlebars are too far back, the elbows are bent, making it difficult to push with all your might.

5. Even if the frame specifications are the same. There are also cases where the top tube length is different, so be sure to step across the car to check the actual thing.

6. Three important conditions for choosing a good car: (1) design (2) parts (3) assembly, all three are indispensable, otherwise there will be certain hidden dangers.

7. Buy goods with perfect after-sales service. Bicycles are consumable goods, and the more you ride, the more you need to adjust. Therefore, you should buy mountain bike brand products with perfect after-sales service and complete spare parts, and a good reputation.

In addition to choosing your favorite and high-quality car, daily maintenance is also very important, because mountain bikes are different from ordinary bicycles, not only very expensive, but also very good in all aspects of their performance, but if they are not well maintained, it is a pity to be broken.
