  • Freeride Guide 04
    sponsored by THE FOURTH ANNUAL FREERIDE GUIDE The emergence of bike parks, overcoming objections to freeriding and more. Plus, three new IMBA Epic Rides! Fall 2006 Out of the Shadows Richard Cunningham Editor-at-Large, Mountain Bike Action magazine Years ago, hardcore mountain bikers disappeared into the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest to build log rides and ladder bridges over the tangled forest floor. The sport of freeriding has since emerged from the shadows, and mountain biking is much richer for it. All of us, at least once, have been swept by the burst of exhilaration that follows the first successful passage of a once-impossible section of trail. Freeriding provides unprecedented opportunities for that experience. Mountain bikers have always pushed the boundaries of what can be ridden on two wheels. Who hasn’t paused at the edge of a precipice, however small, to watch a better bike handler give it a go, or mustered the courage to ride a section that we once walked. Freeriders have honed the sport’s challenging aspects into a lifestyle. The risk and intensity may exceed anything that the average rider would choose to face, but the core experience is the same. Well, almost. “Freerider” also describes a professional cyclist in jeans and a T-shirt, upside down, 30 feet above a televised crowd, gapping the space between wooden towers plastered with advertisements. It can be argued that daredevils jumping highways, or launching from obscenely huge stunts aboard 10-inch-travel monster bikes have as much in common with exploring the woods on a hardtail as the Stealth Bomber relates to a crow.

  • Experimental Evaluation of Mountain Bike Suspension Systems J
    Acta Polytechnica Vol. 43 No. 5/2003 Experimental Evaluation of Mountain Bike Suspension Systems J. Titlestad, T. Fairlie-Clarke, M. Davie, A. Whittaker, S. Grant A significant distinction between competitive mountain bikes is whether they have a suspension system. Research studies indicate that a suspension system gives advantages, but it is difficult to quantify the benefits because they depend on so many variables, including the physiology and psychology of the cyclist, the roughness of the track and the design of the suspension system. A laboratory based test rig has been built that allows the number of variables in the system to be reduced and test conditions to be controlled. The test rig simulates regular impacts of the rear wheel with bumps in a rolling road. The physiological variables of oxygen consumption and heart rate were measured, together with speeds and forces at various points in the system. Physiological and mechanical test results both confirm a significant benefit in using a suspension system on the simulated rough track, with oxygen consumption reduced by around 30 % and power transmitted through the pedals reduced by 30 % to 60 %. Keywords: mountain bike, suspension, dynamics. 1 Introduction 2 Test rig design Off-road cycling, or mountain biking, has developed as an important element of the sport of cycling in the last Past work 20 years.
