Fixing your bicycle outdoors
One of the biggest problems for cyclists is when they break and the situation seems a bit desperate. If hand you have a phone, maybe take a ride with a car going in their direction, or use your wits and be prepared for the occasion. This way you have the opportunity provide a quick fix that at least you and your bike gets home safely.
Basically, knowing what to do and how to do it important. Also carried a small survival kit that includes things necessary to secure possibly the mountain bike. With this in mind, then you have the general ability to "quick fix" that. Surprisingly there are some cyclists who are literally prepared for any eventuality. For containers specialized for different items that can also be useful. For example, thin copper wire, tire patches, and even unexpected items such as ties zip as well.
No individual has to get hysterical and panic when something happens if the same bike. Well, that is, if he or she is willing. There are lots of things a person can actually do to be better prepared before they even really a motorcycle strands. Buy some radios the size right - the guy with the nipples - and tie in the chain stay. This also keeps them out of sight. Therefore, the rays act as a reserve. Just in case you break lightning. Another thing that bikers do is fill your tires with some kind of sealant. This can work beautifully, and in many events, as needed much more to spin a wheel that has some type of sealant.
Obviously, there are those annoying hiccups that are common to try to spoil the enjoyment Mountain bike. In the case of jockey wheel loose, they are usually released because they were not strict enough in the first place. Either way, do not be afraid. Get a piece of copper wire and a pin and can be set on the ground. All in a loop so that the jockey wheel stays in place until they are able to obtain some place where you can fix properly.
A tire with a bad cut on it will not hold air, and you are faced, of course, with a flat tire. Only through the use of duct tape - to keep in your survival kit little - should do the trick. However, you must use another layer of tape for safety. A piece of cloth can even work, sometimes if the cut is not massive and the tire has not fallen flat.
Nothing hurts more than the bike and the seat falls. Surprisingly, the seat can be reattached with zip ties or a piece of wire. Remember that when sitting in the seat once again this is an idea good enough to sit with care - unless you want a background of pain!
In addition, if you do not have parts on hand and the tube punctured cycle, no other way to repair it temporarily. Carefully remove the separation tube where it is cut or punctured, and the knot at both ends very tightly. In this way the tube expand. However, you must be careful to inflate too much or use a lot of pressure either.
Not all bikes are the same, but many they can be fixed temporarily similar. Some, of course, are different: a Road Bike will be different from a high-end MTB. Ten speeds have gears and repair teeth when they are not going to be as easy to have as a temporary solution. However, it is usually possible to get some lower gears in a speed of ten to work and at least get somewhere to repair the bike properly.
There is a trick to get a tire off if to be fixed. Make sure to repair tires without tire levers that all air is out of the rim. Then can maintain the vertical position of the tires against the ground. Use both hands on the top and pinch. The tire accounts in the center of the channel rim so working with your hands down. When your hands actually meet at the bottom you will see for yourself that you have enough space to throw the ball over edge. Believe it or not, the theory works.
Mountain bike repairs made in the fly typicallyany not good as a permanent repair, and can only last a short time. Therefore it is crucial to get to a place or a point which can be fixed properly. It principal is to have a little knowledge and know-how, you are not stranded or find other means of transport
