Grayskull Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 So I've been "trolling" these forums for some time now. For all that time I have been a roadie and do not know much more about the other disciplines of riding. Even tho I read about cyclocross and dual sus, hardtails, etc. everyday - I can't seem to match up which bike matches with which discipline. Also the differences in the disciplines as well such as downhill, mountain bike, enduro... I want to start a thread explaining all the disciplines of riding and the rigs best suited to those disciplines. Hopefully it will get more ppl interested in trying out other disciplines of riding Road:Terrain: On tarred roadsBike: Road bikeSpecial Gear: Standard riding kit http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/cycling-men-s-road-cycling-beijing-crop.jpg Fixie:Terrain: Wherever mass is heldBike: One gear, no brakes - brake by slowing your pedal stroke as the gear is directly connect to the movement of the pedalsSpecial Gear: Whatever mass thinks is cool http://www.thenextgreatgeneration.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/hipster-paste.jpg Please add your input and I will update this post Thanks

clyde79 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Fanie I am disappoint that you did in no way mention compression garments .... that can be worn on or off the bike at training or social events Haha, especially at pre-race registration (not race-day) with a onesie
Dazshell Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Fanie I am disappoint that you did in no way mention compression garments .... that can be worn on or off the bike at training or social events Don't these fall under the category "Most expensive"?
