Safety
When you go for a ride, don’t forget to put your helmet on. Moreover, ride with traffic, not against it. This will help you stay visible to drivers and also makes it easier for them to see you.
Average price for Crosscountry bikes
If you want to purchase a solid Crosscountry bike, it is important to know that the average cost is 1905$. However, paying less money than this amount doesn’t mean that you couldn’t get a great Crosscountry bike. As a general rule of thumb, you should always read reviews about the bike and its components before buying it to ensure you don’t pay too much.
Overview of components
Fork
The Stumpjumper FSR Expert 29 comes factory-installed with the Fox fork. This has a travel range of 100mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. In short, you should always ensure you have a good fork when purchasing a bike.
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Rear Shock
The shock that’s installed on this bike is Fox Triad, with a travel distance of 105mm. Rear shocks offer better comfort, better traction, and better cornering. This allows for quicker riding on rough roads and trails. In short, if you want smooth rides, get a full-suspension bicycle.
Wheels size
The Stumpjumper FSR Expert 29 2009 bike is equipped with 29″ aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. With 29″ wheels, bumps will feel lighter and you’ll gain more speed on descends, compared to smaller wheel-sized bikes. However, the 29″ wheels will add a little more weight to the bike itself.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert 29 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. With Hydraulic Disc brakes, you’ll be able to stop on a dime, even in wet or icy conditions. To sum up, your safety is in good hands.
