Riding helmet guide: what kind of helmet is good ?

Image
  good helmet Let's start with the various performances of the helmet and see what kind of helmet is a good helmet. 1. Sturdy or not The degree of sturdiness is mainly determined by its manufacturing process, the presence or absence of an internal skeleton, and the material of the shell. Cycling helmets are composed of a shell and internal cushioning materials. Due to the different combinations, they can be divided into two forms: one-piece and non-one-piece. Integral molding refers to putting the shell and cushioning material into the machine to complete processing at one time; non-integral molding refers to forming the foam first, and then covering the finished shell on the foam. The one-piece helmet shell fits better with the internal cushioning material and has greater strength, which can better protect our head. Instead of one-piece, it is relatively weaker. The helmet skeleton, by laying a skeleton inside the helmet (which can be made up like a ship laying skeleton), to impro...

The right fit is the best. How to choose Shimano cleats?

Image
  This article comes from: Wheelsall Shimano cleats When buying Shimano cleats, you must be careful to find out why only yellow or blue cleats are included in the package and no red cleats. Is it because the color scheme is good? In fact, it is not. The color of the cleats is to distinguish the floating angle of the cleats. Today we will come to the difference between the three Shimano SPD-SL. What is the use of floating cleats? Floating means that when the cleat is clamped, there is room for fine adjustment of the foot to the left or right, which helps you adapt to the current pedaling posture, and can also solve biomechanical problems. For example, a foot injury or knee pain, a floating lock plate can help reduce joint pressure and make stepping more comfortable. But the floating angle is not easy to be too large, because it will affect the transmission of pedaling power.   How to choose the right cleats? Before choosing the right SPD-SLcleat, you should first understan...

Ten most important bicycles in the history of road cycling.

Image
This article comes from: Wheelsall   In the past few decades, cycling has never stopped innovation in equipment. We carefully selected 10 road bikes with symbolic significance. These 10 bikes can be said to have changed our views on bicycle design and even changed the sport of bicycles. 1. Legnano Team Edition Bike (1948) Star Owner: Gino Bartali In 1940, Campagnolo introduced the Cambio Corsa transmission system. Before that, the bicycles used by the riders did not have a shifting system. If you want to shift the speed, you can only change your rear wheel-that is, change the size of the flywheel. And Campagnolo's drive system gives drivers two speeds to choose from! In 1948, Batali in the picture below used Cambio Corsa to win the Tour de France. The transmission on the chain acts on the upper part of the chain, which is on the chainstay, which means that if you want to successfully shift the gear, the rider has to reverse the pedal when shifting. Once the shift is complete, the r...

Do you have deep feelings about these experiences after riding?

Image
This article comes from: Wheelsall       Riding is exercise, and exercise is a hard process after all. The truth we all know is: tired, painful, and happy. If you think that riding is not tiring at all, and ignore the fatigue and pain of riding, then you must not be able to continue riding. Instead of this, it is better to give up as soon as possible, or choose a self-driving tour directly.     Riding is also a team activity, and there are often activities to ride with the team. As a participant, you must be familiar with the team’s rules and have basic politeness and attitude. If you go your own way in the team and think that it is too bad, you will probably be less and less willing to ride with you. Riding is also a manifestation of personal qualities and social skills. If you can't fit into the circle, you can't get along with everyone, and you can't insist on flying solo, then daily commuting is more suitable for you.   Riding r...

This article comes from: Wheelsall   We will all suffer from external injuries, diseases, and accidental injuries at some point.Although the current level of medical care is very high, there will always be a delay. Even if it is a few weeks, you will feel that this period is long and difficult. How can you keep your body and mind in a good state when you cannot ride a bicycle due to physical factors or have to rest due to other severe exercise restrictions? Kristin Keim, a clinical and sports psychologist who often deals with similar dilemmas for athletes, has some suggestions for these situations. "First of all, psychologically, you have to realize that whether it is due to illness, injury, or recovery after the game, this rest period is good for your body and spirit. When treating the trimming period, you should treat it as a transitional period instead of During the setback period, reasonable adjustments during this period can help you return strongly in the next stage!"

  This article comes from: Wheelsall Professional cycling races have a long history. Among them, the Tour de France is a world-renowned race. The history of more than one hundred years has proved its huge influence. Today we will take you to understand the bits and pieces of this huge race. Origin : You may not believe it. The first Tour de France was not held for the sake of competitions. At that time, disputes arose due to race issues. Some factions decided to reorganize their newspapers to promote the influence of their newspapers. It was decided to host the Tour de France in 1903. The initial plan was to race for five weeks, but the number of applicants was only a dozen people, which was too shabby, so the schedule was reduced and subsidies were provided. Finally, 60 people signed up, including the streets. Mixed with some unemployed people. After nearly 2,400 kilometers of riding, Maurice Gehry won the first Tour de France championship. The event was interrupted : 2017 was the...
