Tire pressure is one of the most important pieces of pre-ride bike setup, and it’s worth playing around with different numbers to find what feels best for you. The biggest problem I’ve seen is improper assembly and setup. Even a big-name bike can give a miserable experience if it isn’t set up properly. And sadly, this is an area in which most big-box hyper mountain bike stores are lacking.
The only way to adjust that part is again, with a wrench. I have tightened it a few times and it now finally stays in place, but it can be dangerous when it randomly slides over while riding. But in reality, I only spend a fraction of my time on mountain bikes. With few exceptions, we all like to think of ourselves as hardcore mountain bikers. But the reality is that most of us probably spend far more time riding places other than mountain bike trails.
As far as the ride goes, this bike is really comfortable and well built. This model has a 29″ frame built for riders 6′ and up, but Hyper also has a hyper bike comparable bike with a 26″ frame for riders below 6′. It also comes stock with a Shimano 6 grip shifter and Shimano rear derailleur.
Bought the Pioneer 12 for my daughter’s 5th birthday – she absolutely loves it! In my case, much of my daily riding happens on commuter/hybrid bikes. Recently, thanks to bikes like the Priority 600 All Road, I am starting to also look at adventure bikes.
There should be a back quick release clamp that will hold the seat in place that attaches to the seat post, simply grab hold of the lever, clamp it down, and pull it tight to hold the bike seat in place. The basic rule of thumb is that the bike seat should be almost equal to the height of your waist, adjust the seat accordingly so that it is comfortable. Speaking of variables, there are a lot of things that affect tire pressure, and many more that are affected by the amount of wind inside that C-shaped rubber. Tire pressure changes with temperature and elevation, and you may need to adjust the numbers depending on where and when you’re riding.
