What You Need to Start Mountain Biking
A comprehensive guide to help you get started mountain biking. From tools to apparel, it's all covered here.
The most common mistake many new mountain bikers is not taking into account the purchase price of the additional accessories that one needs when starting out. What invariably happens is people buy a bike, then they figure out they need a helmet, then an air pump, the list goes on for quite a while. Most bike shops will give you a discount on all parts purchased the same time as your bike. So doing your homework can end up saving you a lot of money. First, you need a mountain bike. We won't get too in-depth here because there are too many variables for which we need to account. Instead, let's assume that you have decided what mountain bike to buy; now you just need to know what else you will need.
As the saying goes, "It isn't cool to drool." Helmets are an absolute necessity when riding any bike, but especially when riding a mountain bike. The good news is all helmets must meet minimum standards for safety regardless of purchase price. The Specialized Align is one of the best values around at $40 and comes in several colors. The more money you spend on a helmet, the lighter and more comfortable is will be while also keeping your head cooler.
It seems obvious, but you would be surprised at how many people start riding bikes and forget to think about water while on the ride. While a water bottle will do for short rides, your best bet is a hydration pack. Not only do they hold more water, but you will also be able to take small snacks and pack away spare parts and tools (more on that later). If you break down mid ride, it will take much longer to get back to the car and you will be glad to have the additional water. Though pricey, the Camelbak Lobo is specifically designed for mountain bikers.
While most major maintenance can be performed by the local shop, you will still need to handle the basics. These include changing a tire or tube and installing a quick link on your chain. Ideally, you will have a multi-tool, tire irons, a floor pump, CO2 inflator and cartridges or mini air pump, a quick link, and a spare tube. With the exception of the floor pump, these will all fit nicely in the back of a hydration pack and will be life savers while on the trail.
When cyclists say bike shorts, people automatically think Lycra. That's too bad because there is a huge supply of baggy, cargo-style bike shorts that have a liner with a chamois pad that goes underneath the outer shell. Once you are done riding, you can take this liner out and wear the shorts without the liner. These aren't cheap, but they make riding a whole lot more fun because you're not as uncomfortable. While you don't have to buy the expensive cycling jerseys, a good moisture-wicking t-shirt will make a huge difference while you are out riding.
Riding gloves are very helpful for protecting your hands in the event of a crash. They are also handy preventing blisters and keeping your hands from slipping off the grips when they get wet. Some riders choose to wear headbands under their helmets to keep sweat out of their eyes. Eye protection is all about preference. Some choose to use the visor on their helmet; others choose to buy cycling specific eye-wear. I suggest going with the glasses. Moisture-wicking socks are very helpful preventing blisters, keeping your feet cool, and making sure your feet don't smell too horribly bad when you are done. While you can get away with standard athletic shoes, they ill designed for the purpose. Not everyone is comfortable with using clip-less pedals and the accompanying shoes, so several shoes are available with flat bottoms and stiffer, more efficient for pedaling soles specifically designed for cycling. Some are even clip-less compatible by removing a section of the sole. The Specialized Tahoe is one such shoe.
There you have it, just about everything you need to start mountain biking. As always, talk to your local bike shop for advice. Your local bike shop will almost always be your best source of information. This is true for all things from parts to apparel and where to ride.
