What are the advantages of Big Fat tire bicycle?
The main reason for choosing a bicycle is whether it is a good frame, whether it is composed of good parts, and whether the assembly technology is good. Only after these three factors are scientifically combined can it be considered a good bicycle. 1. Frame: The frame is equivalent to a human skeleton, and all kinds of bicycle parts can be installed with a frame. The frame is composed of iron, aluminum alloy and other materials, and the angle formed by the length of the tube affects the characteristics of the overall bicycle. For example, bicycles that ride better in a straight line, bicycles that are easy to turn, and bicycles that are comfortable to ride. Many of these factors are determined by the frame. 2. How can it be considered a good frame? Lightness, firmness, and flexibility are one of the goals pursued by the frame. In order to achieve this goal, it depends on the craftsmanship of each frame manufacturer. For example, whether the designed frame is designed according to the strength and characteristics of the material, and whether the welding process is mature. These all directly affect the appearance, strength and elasticity of the frame. The more important thing is painting. A good frame is evenly painted and sprayed with 3-4 coats of paint. Don’t underestimate the spray paint, good spray paint can make the bicycle easy to maintain and not easy to rust. If a frame that does not meet the above requirements is used for loading, it is possible to produce a bicycle that cannot ride in a straight line or is difficult to turn, or a bicycle that retreats quickly. 3. What materials are made of the frame? The most are iron frames, but iron frames are also divided into chromium-molybdenum steel, high-strength steel, ordinary steel, etc. The iron is added with other extremely large frames, after adding these other components, it can be made into thinner pipes, for example, Makes the overall frame lighter. Recently, without reducing the strength, frames using materials other than iron, such as aluminum alloy materials, have appeared. In the bicycle race, there is a frame made of titanium metal carbon fiber material. 2. Parts composition 2. What is the best bicycle part? Simply speaking, it is both light and strong, and the performance is better. Because of these conditions, the bicycle is easy, safe and convenient to ride. But to achieve all of the above conditions, good materials are needed. Therefore, bicycle parts are often a specific factor that affects the price of bicycles. The best is the parts that can participate in the Olympic cycling competition. The best materials are used in terms of strength and weight. 3. Assembling technology If a good part is not assembled well, it will be like a house that has neither been designed by an architect nor has an experienced craftsman to build it. It will make you nervous all day for fear that it will collapse. So, if you don’t want to regret after buying it, you should understand this knowledge. 2. The comfort function of the bicycle A. Transmission? Many people mistakenly believe that the bicycle is equipped with a transmission to speed up the riding speed. In fact, the maximum force that a person can emit is only 0.4 horsepower. The gearbox is just a tool to help people easily use the maximum horsepower. B. What are the benefits of transmission? Generally, bicycles are used in cities, but there are actually many slopes in cities. For example, sometimes when you ride a bicycle, you may feel that the pedals suddenly become heavy, and there are often more slopes that cannot be judged by your eyes. At this time, the role of the transmission can be fully reflected, if there is a transmission, at this time as long as it can be replaced with a lighter gear, you can ride easily and freely. Of course, it can also be used in headwinds. C. The previous gear shifting system required fine adjustments (some of the gear shifting bikes now require fine adjustments), but with the successful development of the SIS (SHIMANO INDEX SYSTEM) function, many bicycles are equipped with the SIS system. Just press the button when shifting. The shifting handle can complete the shifting with the sound of “pop”, so there is no need to worry about how to operate it anymore. D. Don’t know which gear stage you are in when you are riding? Now there is a digital display on the shifting handle, just look at the digital display, and the latest product also has the FLIGHT DECK electronic display system that uses a computer liquid crystal display. This display system can also display 17 functions such as time, average speed, and total riding distance. E. Internal and external transmissions Before understanding them, it is necessary to know the concepts of internal and external transmissions. To put it simply, the external transmission means that the transmission is installed on the outside of the bicycle as a separate part, while the internal transmission refers to the built-in part hidden in the rear hub. The external transmission is directly presented to the outside and directly touches the external space. The internal transmission is hidden inside and does not directly touch the external space. In this way, due to the larger design space and the larger speed range of the external change, it is mostly used for mountain bikes. However, due to exposure to external rain, soil, oil, etc., it must be cleaned and maintained regularly, and the internal transmission does not require regular maintenance. However, due to the limited design space of the internal transmission, the range of the transmission is relatively limited, and it is generally used in urban areas. There are many light bikes inside. G. Brakes are very important parts. The quality of the brake is related to your safety and the safety of others. The braking force and the braking time are the main factors that determine the quality of the brake. Therefore, the braking performance of the brake is good, and the operating force used is light. very important. In the Japanese market, there is a relatively common roller brake. In addition to obtaining satisfactory results in rainy days, there will be no noise when braking and no maintenance is required. 4. What kind of bicycle is best for you? The first thing is to see what your purpose of riding a bicycle is. Generally, you can use a normal light bike to go to work, school, or shopping. It is best to use a relatively large basket, which can hold a school bag or something. If you have conditions, you can buy an internally geared car or an externally geared bicycle. If there are slopes or bridges on the road you are riding, and you find it troublesome to go uphill and bridge, you should not choose a bicycle with a transmission. If you are riding on a road that is not flat and paved, you should choose a bicycle with wider tires and a transmission. If you ride a long distance in a day, you should choose a bicycle with a derailleur and narrow tires. If it is a short distance, you should choose a light car.
