What Kit Do You Need To Ride A Mountain Bike? | Basic MTB Gear

The second most important thing in mountain biking (after the bike, of course) is the kit you wear. Starting with a helmet, which you shouldn't be riding without, Neil talks you through all the kit you might need to get out in the woods on your MTB!

[@harshsawant2380]

Rockrider Helmet and reflectors Btwin "MY Bike" (single speed rigid hybrid)

Helmet and gloves

[@amitbodov7207]

Helmet knee protection and arm protection

[@believe8263]

I would say gloves are next after a helmet. Your hands are often the first thing to hit the ground when you crash. You need to protect your fingers and palms.

[@qqslp]

Been riding over 20 years without gloves. Zero issues. Gloves wont make much of a difference if you crash hard enough.

[@kermitleninja7310]

[@qqslp]

@@believe8263 I understand gloves are useful, Im not saying barehand is *better*. I just dont consider gloves essential or necessary. Definitely need the right grips to excel bare hand though, and it helps to have big hands.

[@doctajuice]

I personally feel like gloves is one of the most important, just to avoid ruining your day over something silly. You could have a small crash and you're just fine, but your day is done if you have a pebble embedded in your palm and you can't grip the bars

[@nilz6432]

I still ride without Gloves whenever possible...like Neil i tend to fall on my face.

[@qqslp]

You need to toughen up your hands. Should have enough callusing to protect against pebbles. Been riding over 20 years without gloves, zero issues.

[@zakh6016]

@@qqslp Eh. Doesn't matter how calloused your hands are. A sharp enough object and hard enough impact will more than likely pierce your hands. No shame in wearing gloves.

[@Beniu19892]

@@zakh6016 Not to mention shock absorption. If you don't want to die from elbow / shoulder pain in your 50's, wear gloves. They won't prevent it, no, but they will surely ease the effect.

[@cccycling5835]

For me it depends on the ride. I’m usually gloved 50% of the time, mostly for longer or gnarlier rides. If it’s raining or a short ride, I prefer the feel of bare hands.

[@Table_Topper_Tony]

Not gonna lie... I’ve actually forgotten my bike back home a couple times when I’m already half way towards the trail head. Guess I was just too excited to ride lol

Just ride your Bike to the Trailhead :D Problem solved

Same haha

[@alangwin3891]

Anthony Gonzalez we’ve done that🥴

[@woodlandwillmtb]

You’re joking

[@antaltieri7154]

Just started riding with a pair of Freeriders. It was insane how much an improvement having real MTB shoes was - My feet no longer cramp up, I feel so much more stable, and stronger on the climbs

[@antaltieri7154]

@Oliver Stevens For sure. I'm hoping to start clips next year! Currently recovering from a knee injury and riding in an ACL brace, and being able to bail/roll off without an extra step is a good feeling for this season!

[@andycaine4117]

Ant Altieri I’ve gone from clips to free riders and flats. Tbh they are so good I hardly notice the difference!

[@dmw0lton21]

MTB can be an expensive sport to get into..but my god does it put a smile on your face with every purchase you make! As a standard I always try to get quality over value, tend to find products last longer, some even come with long guarantees!

[@shaunclarke7171]

In terms of riding glasses I use clear safety glasses (DeWalt) because I get them from work for free! They don't look much different from riding glasses and you know they are gonna stop almost anything from flying into your eyes 👍

[@gmbn]

Good tip!

[@sean_mc]

It's a great tip to get started on the cheap, the only thing is they aren't typically compatible with interchangeable lenses, so you end up buying a whole new pair when you scratch them up.

[@morebikefunoutdoors2111]

I'm full face only on most trails. My wife had an accident at a local bike park and even with a MIPS helmet she still ended up with a concussion. Love that you started with the most important item. Ride safely!

[@daftbiker9111]

Has anyone else ever got halfway to the trails and remembered you forgot your helmet 🤣

[@imaanmulji5064]

Daft Biker lol just happened to me a couple days ago

[@nilz6432]

Sadly yes, especially in winter when wearing something warm on my head.

[@R3ddyyg]

Happened to me with my gloves, i really can't stand being without them. Where i live it's full of sketchy bushes and you get cuts on your hands and arms frequently

[@oliviacaputo2639]

Yes! That just happened and it's so frustrating

[@mrpotatoes3354]

Yesss

[@jeremytinker1602]

That nonchalant "cool" when the car alarm went off cracked me up

[@bartzed4305]

just got my first proper trail bike and it's a little daunting how much stuff you need and how expensive it all is

[@sean_mc]

You don't need it all right away. Outside of your helmet it's all stuff you can get over time as your skills improve and you start taking on more higher risk trails. Once you feel comfortable taking on Reds is when you need to consider knee/elbow pads for example. Shoe's I'd recommend, just cause they are good and provide a better experience, but everything else is fairly optional to start.

[@danthescaff9088]

Nice little hack , screw fix sell clear safety style glasses clear lenses comfortable anti fog impact resistance about £7 tops 👍🏻good for rainy days

[@joshransley]

Yup. Arguably safer than most riding glasses as they are actual safety specs (and they look fine). I’ve been riding for years and I use them. I do also have a pair of riding specific glasses but haven’t used them for ages as the clear lenses of the safety specs are better for the mixed conditions I ride in in the UK. I’m still using the pair I picked up in Squamish from a hardware store when I rented a bike and needed some glasses. I wasn’t about to spend out on a ‘proper’ pair of riding glasses.

[@kevinstanley3581]

Been using safety glasses for years. Have a preference for Bollé. Not so expensive and not such a loss should you lose or damage them.

[@chiccorocker]

I cannot understate the importance of MTB shoes. I was a bit scared inventing in them as I was afraid they were not comfy for walking or to drive to the bike park. This is absolutely not the case, the MTB shoes are actually very very comfortable and you can walk all day with them when you have to hike the bike. The stiff sole is really helping the feet and avoid the pain due to constantly pressing on the pedals. Mine even have a reinforced tip. Ever made a rock fly hard towards your cranks / chainring? Well I had a big one not long ago hitting my foot at speed on a rocky down hill section. I barely felt it, but with normal shoes that would have been a quite painful hit. Totally worth the investment

[@sean_mc]

The reinforced tip is more for strikes than flying debris, but yeah they are a good safety feature since you aren't gonna be cycling with a broken toe, and the long walk back home/to the car park won't be any fun either!

[@paddor]

To anyone who sweats profusely from their forehead like me: Also bring a thin headband for under your helmet. It does wonders.

[@gregg3727]

Re: goretex... I have to agree & disagree. I highly recommend washing goretex, but make sure you use a tech wash and not regular detergent... And if you want it to have the water beading effect you will need to use the dwr spray or wash-in. Super important to wash your GTX every now and then to keep it breathable and help it last longer.

[@Oldmtbdad]

REI just posted a video on this and interviewed gortex experts. The key is to put the garment in the dryer after washing it as the heat helps rejuvenate the material.

[@gavinback226]

Agreed - I work for an outdoor clothing company and the recommendation is to wash and use a tech wash. Not washing will make the jacket perform less well because your sweat and body oils will clog up the Gore Tex membrane, making the jacket less breathable. Washing removes the DWR, which is the coating that makes the water bead up, and when removed the outer fabric will become damp; this makes it appear like the jacket is leaking but it isn’t because it’s the membrane that keeps you dry, not the DWR. So washing in fact keeps you drier by allowing your vaporized sweat pass through the membrane more easily despite the appearance to the contrary due to the lack of DWR

[@devak45167]

As a new rider on a budget this was super helpful to see where I should spend and where to save. Thanks a lot!

[@slevy66]

Gortex restores its water shedding ability by putting it in the dryer for 15 min on medium heat. Try it.

[@Melted-playz]

One of the best videos you guys have maid

[@Melted-playz]

🏂🏂🏂🏂🚴🚴🚴🚴

[@alistairj4851]

GORE-TEX actually advise to wash their fabrics on a warm wash (not hot) with a non-bio liquid detergent in order to re-activate the waterproofing element that they teat the fabric with.

[@dawn-moon]

Personally I use flat MTB pedals from NSbikes ( AERIAL ) in combination with some Salomon Speed cross 5 shoes in the winter ( Belgian weather is much like UK weather I guess ). The shoes are made for trail running, but offer some excellent grip when you're in the mud going up a hill by foot. Despite the big rubber knobbies on the sole, thanks to the concave shape from the pedals, they do have sufficient grip on these pedals. Nothing worse than climbing a slippery hill, then find yourself having to continue by foot, not daring to move because you have flat sole MTB shoes :)

[@billjohnson1564]

I have both a trail and enduro bike and got a MET parachute helmet, best of both worlds.

[@karlosxzy]

Highly recommend a full face helmet for steeper or new trails. Dedicated shoes help a lot too. Glasses are a great idea too.

[@ebd3255]

i would also say a good pair of water-resistant/ waterproof are essential for wet muddy days, since it keeps your feet warmer and dryer for far longer

[@Oldmtbdad]

REI just posted a video about why and how you should wash and dry gortex jackets. Washing like normal clothes and then drying in the dryer on medium heat for 20 minutes actually rejuvenates the material. Not cleaning them allows the cloth to become clogged and it loses the water shedding capabilities.

[@vasken9247]

Going to get my first mtb this week, this video came right on time :)

[@MTBradley]

How's the mtb & the riding going?

[@focus550]

Reference the GoreTex, it's the way the material is created which makes it waterproof - no chemical coatings as such. As long as you wear it before you next go out in the rain it'll work fine.

[@lostsoulparty]

great breakdown, as someone changing from road to mtb on a budget this was really helpful

[@chrissr318]

I use a pair of vans with my flats

[@robertireson3950]

I made like a small box with compartments for everything, that way you can see everything

[@cornishcactus]

Get a food shopping divider bag, normally have 3 compartments. shoes in one, helmet and protection in the other, spares and other layers you'll put on when there in the 3rd

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

@@leopoldtnothling3851 Good idea! We might have to borrow that idea haha. Thanks man.

[@murkysubstance3929]

Well done for admitting straightaway that all you really NEED is a helmet and everything else is personal preference. For me I often feel a large insect, stone chip or tree branch smash into my glasses lenses and thank God I put them on. Gloves, water, multi-tool, quick links, phone, wallet, co2, spare tube, cable ties, weather-appropriate clothing and nothing else.

[@Naylor_Element]

You should definitely wash Goretex, use something like Nikwax Tech wash then the Tx direct wash-in after. I don’t work for any of these companies, just years of experience with the kit!

[@MarkTwomey]

Really depends on type of riding you'll be doing and if you want to push your limits. Realistically best to wear whatever will protect you in the types of falls you may have. Nothing worse than having an injury which some protection/gear may have prevented. We all want to ride as much as we can!!

[@paulsack9563]

The GMBN shorts look pretty good! I'll probably gonna get some for next spring. Still waiting on some short bibs though!

[@franklee6301]

Wash your waterproof gear! By not washing it you're allowing debri and oils to breakdown the fabric. The DWR treatment he is speaking of will rubber off after several uses anyway so not washing only breaks down the fabric. Use technical fabric specific detergents and spray on DWR to retreat the material afterwards. Not too mention the fabric is waterproof even without the dwr.

@@jameskatz3747 if you say look cooler that’s subjective. If you are saying they are cooler heat wise then that is objective. Motocross riders used to rise open face.

Why is racing more dangerous? One small mistake on a mellow trail and face hitting rock is face hitting rock. That’s cool.

Everything functions properly kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Nothing was damaged in the box aside from a decal on the fork. The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of KZbin. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!
