Winter bike maintenance
27/07/09
Winter is not the time for bicycling. It is not very convenient to use two-wheeled vehicle when there’s a lot of snow and ice around. With that in mind we have decided to describe the process of making a ski bike. These bikes can be used by people wearing who understand how dangerous they are and who will do everything to keep themselves protected.
To begin with, don’t use metal bars in winter. Make sure to use quality bicycle grips or simply use tape for the old ones. And don’t use a pair of new ski. You will never be able to use them after that. And never use a new bike. As you can see, only old things are good for a ski-bike. First of all, take the bake and throw away all the necessary parts, such as whels, brakes, cables, etc. But make sure to leave seat, fork, frame, seatpost, bars headset. After that you will have to cut wood and drill a couple of holes in them. Ski (front and rear) will be attached to this wood. So this wood is used to make two blocks - front and rear. There should be one block in front, and two blocks in the back.
Skis should be attached to the blocks with the help of good nails. You don’t want anything to go wrong, do you? What is more, there should be a pair of mountain skis. You need firmness and they will provide you with it. After that you just need to attach skis to the frame and enjoy the winter.
We intentionally don’t give the sizes of blocks and the ideas of how to drill holes in them. This article can just give you some ideas on how to have some fun. You can simply use it. But be very careful and don’t use ski-bike on highways or roads used by cars. And don’t forget to protect your body. This fun is dangerous.
