Yeti AS-R 5 Carbon Enduro Bike ’11 Product Review
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011
If you are looking for a fast, agile and extremely sleek bike to tear up those single track trails, then you’ve come to the right place. When choosing what mountain bike to buy there are some things to consider. Most people including myself want a machine that not only looks good but also performs well too. I personally look for something that is made from a lightweight yet durable material such as carbon fiber and has a wide range of gears to choose from for all different riding conditions. Another aspect that I look for is the components and well designed parts that make up a bike. So if you are like me, then when you try and decide what your next mountain bike is going to be, then consider the Yeti AS-R 5 Carbon Enduro Bike.
Once you get clipped into your pedals on this bike, you will see how fast, agile and sleek this carbon fiber cross country bike really is. Being that the frame used in construction for this bike might be the most versatile frame in Yeti’s lineup means that not only is it light, but it will make it that much easier to climb those hills that may otherwise be giving you a hard time. The tapered head tube that goes from an inch and an eight to an inch and a half, is engineered that way for the ultimate in stiffness and control. This bike that can be yours comes complete with a Sram three by ten drive train including a 22/32/44 crankset and also a 12-36 cassette. As you are shifting through the gears for that perfect gear ratio that you may need, you will also be confident that your bike will maintain superior grip to the trail that you are on. With a pair of Schwalbe Fat Albert two and a quarter inch tires and Avid Elixir five brakes are just a couple more item that the Yeti AS-R 5 Carbon Enduro Bike has to offer.
Now what are you waiting for? Once this bike becomes yours, you will be able to prove to your biggest rivals that your machine is as fast and sleek as it is, can stand up to anyone and their machine. Just close your eyes and picture yourself getting out of your car at the parking lot of the trailhead of your favorite mountain bike park, taking your bike off its bike rack and then putting on your mountain bike shoes. Then put on your helmet, making sure that it is properly adjusted and slipping your hands into your mountain bike gloves and lastly put on your sunglasses. Then the only thing left to do is swing one foot over the saddle, get clipped in and imagine yourself tearing up those single track trails. Now open your eyes and what you just pictured in your mind can soon become a reality on your soon to be brand new Yeti AS-R 5 Carbon Enduro Bike.

How To Repair a Bicycle Puncture
Friday, October 14th, 2011
russg22 asked:
from the website www.howto.tv Firstly, make sure that it’s not your valve that’s leaking. The best way to test this is to immerse the valve in water. If you can see bubbles, that’s the problem. Repairing a puncture is easier at home than on the road, and you’ll need the following tools and materials – tyre levers, a spanner, a puncture repair kit, a bike pump, a spare inner tube, and a bucket or bowl full of water. Locate the puncture by rotating the wheel and checking for sharp objects, which must be removed. To repair the puncture, first remove the wheel by loosening the wheel nuts with a spanner, and if you have a modern bike, operate the quick release bolts or mechanisms on your brakes. Take the wheel off. Check that the inner tube is deflated, push the side wall of the tyre away from the rim – this must be done on the opposite side to the value. Insert the flat end of a tyre lever into the gap, and push the lever down to hook over a spoke. Insert a second tyre lever next to the first and repeat the process. Place a third lever carefully under the tyre wall, and run it all the way round the tyre wall. One side of the tyre is now free, so you can reach in and pull out the inner tube a section at a time. Unscrew the valve and push it out carefully. Give the inner tube two or three bursts of air with your bike pump. Place the tube in a bucket or bowl of water, and look for bubbles. Mark your puncture with a crayon. Take the sandpaper from the puncture repair kit, and b…/b
