Mountain Bikes 101 - Questions you were too embarrassed to ask

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This audience ranges from experienced mountain bikers, to beginners, to people who have never picked up a bike before. As far as I'm concerned, all are welcome to enjoy our sport-we could actually use more people on our side, whether or not they ride bikes.
The purpose of this video is to go over the terminology and references we use on Berm Peak Express at the most basic level possible, to make the videos easier to understand. Undoubtably, people will have additional questions after the video, so I'm calling on viewers to help answer them!

    One thing you can do is just go hang out at a bike shop and ask questions, ideally when they're not too busy. Bike shop people are bike nerds and they'll probably be happy to explain stuff. If they aren't, go somewhere else. On top of that if you get a good bike you can repair and upgrade it for years to come. My first real MTB (2013 Trek 4300) is turning 10 years old this year, and the only things left original are the frame, headset, and seat post. Bikes are super modular, so as long as you get a frame that fits, you can kinda just go wild. I got mine as a college graduation present at 22, and now I'm 32. You can adapt the bike as your tastes change, especially if it's a hardtail like mine. I even sewed a nice frame bag for it for $25! Cheers, and remember the best way to learn is to do! 👍

    This video was recommended and thorough. Yesterday I rode my first trail. I have a fat tire BMX and agreed to ride with my friends. They bought top tier mountain bikes with upgrades galore. I probably have the most general riding experience out of all of us and I was doing well with what I had. Other riders looked at me crazy and saying I was something for riding a bike with no shocks on those trails. So now I'm researching mountain bikes after giving one of my buddy's bike a go. I dig all of the terms I didn't know at the time and possibly how to course better in the future.

    I was returning to mountain biking after a several "long years" hiatus (like 10 years or so) and found your video to be excellent! However, my most difficult task by far was when I went shopping for a bike. I quickly learned that there are no more "mountain" bikes. Enduro, downhill, cross country, trail, gravel, 29'er..... I was ready to pack it in before I even started. My on-line Google searches only led down several rabbit holes. Bike Shops were even worse - " yeah, I can help you - so what kind of mountain biking do you want to do then?" 🤪 Man. Give me a Mountain Bike! 😆

    Definitely a lot to learn! My first experience mountain biking was on a Crosstrail 700x38 and those skinny tires were HORRIBLE on sand, rocks, and gravel. I still had fun especially with some experienced guys leading me in trails with jumps (I was a bit sketched out when I went down that trail on my own) but definitely motivated to do some shopping.

    Hey! I'm one of those "Sitting on the side lines" mountain bikers you mentioned. I absolutely love your channel and love the way you present things. I got my first Hardtail 2 months ago. (Well, first one as an adult as I had a few basic bicycles growing up which I don't count) I've been riding it on the streets just getting my cardio in place. I'm 35 and a 100+ Kilograms and have never exercised. Cycling is so much fun. And given that I'm tad of a Tourer on a motorcycle myself, cycling came very naturally to me. Your video and a few from GCN really helped me set-up my bike for the 6 foot Hagrid I am. I promise to continue to sit on this fence and watch you guys zoom by hoping even I can someday. Big Love from India!

    Probably won’t see my comment, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I suffered two back-to-back heart attacks in the span of two weeks in February while in Afghanistan for work. I then spent most of March and April recovering and beginning cardiac rehabilitation. During that time I watched a lot of KZread videos trying to figure out what I would do for fitness, since I couldn’t lift weights and do cardio the way I used to anymore. Then I stumbled upon Berm Peak. After watching several of your videos I was inspired to give mountain biking a try. Needless to say, I’ve become hooked in the last two months and have even gotten my 10 year old daughter into daily rides with me on her first MTB. Thank you for making your videos, especially the ones focused on newer inexperienced riders. You’ve not only given this old dog a new physical activity, but also a great dose of mental health strength, which has led to me learning about this great MTB community. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I swear the theme of your channel could anything from bikes to barbie dolls and id still probably watch every video. You really know how to capture the right moments and take that footage and turn it into a real production without any useless filler that so many channels will dump into their videos.

I showed up on a trail with an entry level bike, a Trek Marlin 4, and one dude said, "you have a good bike and you should have a lot of fun." He was on a full suspension, probably cost a few grand bike, but he was being supportive. Mountain biking seems like one of those things that, if you do it, you are in it with everyone else.

    Great video Seth I've been interested in mountain biking for many years but never had the time to get involved. Well this year I've finally got out for the first time. It was a bit intermediate trail and I fell a bunch but I still enjoyed it. Really love your bike hacks and everything your doing with the bike park etc. This video was great. I think alot of beginner tutorials would be a great idea because even though I had some BMX experience when I was young (80s era). I'm really rusty with trail riding and really don't know what gears to be in when flat, descending and climbing, which is my biggest challenge. Again thanks for what you do from another Ridgeline owner🤙

    OMG - THANK YOU for this!! I just spent the last 6+ months hearing all these terms kicked around like we’re supposed to know what they mean - nothing else like this exists. I have finally figured this stuff out in bits and pieces, but this is an awesome guide for new folks! The only thing I would want to see added is descriptions of XC vs trail vs Enduro vs Downhill (I saw the bit about Enduro at the end, but these terms are constantly used to describe all kinds of MTB gear, and, again, there’s nothing out there to help you “decode”. Thanks again for all you do!!!

    I'll try to fill you in. So XC, short for Cross Country is a form of riding that is 'milder' than the other ones. It's more focussed towards pedaling and technical features here and there (like roots and small rock gardens). Bikes are either hard tails or full suspension, around 90-110mm of travel, and you sit forward on the bike, a bit like in a road bike. Then Trail riding. Trail riding is a more all round form of mountainbiking. It's a bit like mellowed enduro. It features jumps, drops, technical roots, but also fast berms and long pedal sections. The bikes are full suspension, with around 130-150mm travel. Enduro. Enduro is a pretty hard core style. It will have drops and jumps, steep roots, really fast berms. Therefore, the bikes are off course full suspension, with around 150-170mm of travel. A very popular race series is the EWS, Enduro World Series. Lots of cool POV clips to watch to get an idea. Last but not least, Downhill. Downhill is about being the quickest down the mountain, across the difficultest of terrains. It will feature enormous rock gardens, big roots, drops, jumps, just tough stuff. A downhill is therefore not agile. The wheels are far apart, it has 200-220mm of travel, and it has a dual crown fork. Which means that de stancions (the shiny 'legs') go all the way up, making the fork more rigid for the heavy impacts. This is a very basic overview, there are more differences in geometry (like head angle) and wheel sizes, suspension types etc. Just watch a video on every one of the disciplines to get an idea. Have a good one!

    One thing to add, you can get a hard tail trail bike also, they are a little pricier than an XC hard tail, but really fun and great for beginners looking to go really fast. The syncr Seth has is a great example. I bought one and enjoy it more than my full suspension
