The cycling craze started taking shape around the 1970's, gaining popularity as a legitimate sport over the last forty years. And as the upsurge of amateur biking enthusiasm continues to reach around the world, the disciples of cycling, both recreational and extreme, continue to multiply. One of the great ways to enjoy cycling is to go mountain biking and trail riding on the weekends. Not only is mountain biking a fun hobby, it can also be excellent exercise. Riding through rough, rocky terrain, or exploring the hills and valleys of a densely populated, verdant glen is not only a test of stamina and endurance, but also requires an acute awareness of one's surroundings at all times.

Because of the varieties of terrain you’ll be tackling when you go riding, mountain biking can at times be an extreme sport. Your bike is your ticket to safely and comfortably navigating these myriad landscapes; and thus you should understand a little about how it works. In this free bicycle care and maintenance video series, learn how your wheels and tires work to bring you across broad swaths of land with speed and efficiency. We’ll demonstrate how to change wheel cassettes, chain rings, how to install a new front dérailleur and spindle, and how to replace tire stems. Watch these videos carefully to learn how to customize your mountain bike…and control your riding experience.
