One of the most interesting brands of e bike damen today is the Schwinn mountain bike, being one of the most favored brands for adventurers out there. Schwinn has been producing mountain bikes for more than 100 years to give you the best cycling experience. Their bikes are created specifically for off-road cycling, and are designed to overcome the elements; unstable grounds, steep declines, and other harsh environments. To make your off-road cycling more comfortable, Schwinn features aluminum frame, 24-speed drive train and ergonomic saddle.
Off-road cycling enthusiasts will love to have this bike but what do you do if you want it to accommodate your daily commuting needs, instead of being merely useable on weekends? In its original shape, fully unmodified, mountain bikes are not really suitable for city traveling. The frames are typically quite heavy, and its shape rather bulky. For example, the small size of a Schwinn road cycle has 38.7″ of a wheelbase while the small size of the mountain bike has a 40.4″ of wheelbase. However, with a few modifications, you can turn your mountain bike into something better suited for light and easy riding.
One of the first things you will need to change is your tires. Normally, the tires of mountain bikes are made to run slower than road bikes; its surface is adorned with extensive threading, helping the bike grip the road better. Although this makes for safe uphill riding, in an urban setting it will simply slow you down. If you are planning to cycle at a constant speed of up to 70 mph, then you better swap out your default Schwinn bike tire which can only handle around 50 mph. The Mesa 1 Men, one of Schwinn bike series, has 26 x 2.1 of tires. If you expect the bike to perform like road bikes, then you need to change to thinner tires. The smoother and thinner your tires are, the lighter your bike will run. However, do not forget to choose a tire which would be able to handle the pressure exerted by your bike. The frames of all mountain bikes are rather heavy, and it is why it is then important to have tires strong enough to support them.
The brakes on your mountain bike are also highly different from those on road bikes. As you would use them more often when riding in-town, changing the levers to a short-pull model would be more practical. Next, you would also need to replace your crank-set. Amp up the gear until it is as high as typical road bikes go. You can do this by swapping the Schwinn bike chain to something bigger, but which will still suit the other features of the bike. This step can be rather complicated, as you would need to synchronize the crank bolt pattern, derailleur, and ring, so some other opt to swap the cassette which is faster and lighter than your average mountain bike cassette. For most bikes 11-26 would be ideal. The changes to performance would not be as significant as that from a chain change, but it would be cheaper and still help make your bike more city-friendly.
