Tips On Upgrading Your Mountain Bike http://bikecycles.org/ Tips On Upgrading Your Mountain Bike You are in the dilema of wanting a new bike and not wanting to throw your old one away? You find it still comfortable with a shifting system and tires in good conditions? It might be useful and money-saving to upgrade your bike instead of getting a new one. You can get a new fork to give your old bike a new look and better ride regardless of types, ages or your budget.
There are some different types of forks. Rigid forks, light suspension forks, some for downhill or cross country, and so on… But which fork will be the one you need? This depends on your riding style.
Here are some useful information about your possibly new fork.
For a normal street bike just to ride sometimes the best solution will be a light suspension mountain bike fork. These MTB forks have low travel because they should only absorb the small damage to the road surface. You can choose the look of the suspension you’d like without spending too much money on it.
You can also go for a rigid fork but they won’t be too good for a normal bike. You should have a special racing cycle to go for a rigid one.
If you would like to ride off the road you should think about a special suspension fork. Here you can choose again between some different types of MTB forks.
First one will be the Downhill fork. They have a very long travel up to 300mm and are double or triple crown. These suspension forks will weigh very much.
