10.01.2022 **Bike Buying Tip One of the common MTB bike questions from our athletes and parents is How many gears should I look for when choosing a bike?. Heres a tip from Mackays @corrycycles and our Coaches: If your budget affords forget the number of gears, choose a bike with a single chain ring at the front, especially important for kids. The Top 3 reasons:... 1. Eliminates chain slipping 2. Less weight on your bike 3. Decreases your mental fatigue In short, a single chainring on an MTB increases riding enjoyment on the trails and will keep you and/or your child safer. Happy riding everyone . #biketips #cyclebuyingtips #triathlon #mackaytri #triactiv8 #swimbikerun #mtbtips #mtbkids #mtb #mountainbikes Deanne Woods Photography
