Rim & Tire

Lefty Fork
(front Suspension)
The fork on this bike is unlike
what you see normal on a
bike. Usually the fork have two sides,
but on the Cannondale Jekyll, it is using
the Cannondale special Lefty fork. It is
stiffer, smooth and stable. It allows rider to
have a good control of the bike.

Crank & Pedals

Disc brakes

The rear shock is

also a special model.
Shock is pushing the
stroke in. But this
one
is pull. It is a special
model that was
made
while cooperate
with Fox Racing
Shox.
It makes the bike
stiffer when pedaling
and
the switch can make
the stroke change
from 160mm
to 90mm. So it can
be called a trails bike
and a endure bike.

EQUIPMENTS

Helmet is the most important, it can save you

from hard impact on the head!

Made by sunny, the lightest and the

most comfortable knee pads for

WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATED

PARTS ON A MOUNTAIN BIKE ?

Shock
Fork

Hydrolic Disc Brakes

Frame

HOW DO THEY WORK?

How good a frame is depends no
the geometry of
the bike. Some will give you a put
when you hit a rock, some
will make the suspension work
harder so that you cant
feel the rock. This will cause the
lost of speed. What frame
you chose also depends on your
riding style.

Compress The shock

The lever pushes the plug in so it compress the
DOT oil in the brake so it can push the value on
the end of the brake so it can caught on the
disc.

Inside of a fork and shock

The rubber squash the air inside a shock and fork,
make is can bounce like a coil. Some of them have coil,
and some of them uses air pressure due to the price.

The FSR geometry makes this S-works Demo Can decrease

the impact when the bike is riding rough trails.

I think before a race i need to focus on my lines and try to calm myself down,this is another advantage bike riding give me. The mood after the race depends on the result. If i think i
did a good run, i will be happy and celebrating with friends. If the result is not what i expected, i will tell myself to improve next time and try to find where things got wrong; to learn
from the mistakes.
