Helmet Fit

A Helmet must fit your head. To stay on and over your head in an impact the helmet must be the correct size for you. You must also take time to adjust you helmet to your head and ensure it is adjusted correctly every time you ride. For more information on size and fit see our guide. What you are looking for here is a great adjustment system – a rear dial or slider and chin straps that can be tightened.

Isolated Riding – Am I Safe?

by Annette | Jul 29, 2022 | get Safe

New Zealand is an extremely beautiful country and we are lucky enough to be able to get a long way into isolated, back country areas on our bikes. It can, however, put you at risk. To be safe, comfortable & confident you need to understand these risks and manage them.

Supporting you and your family to SMILE when you ride.

Ride More Multi-Day Rides

Tip One – Wear a Performance Level Bike Helmet & Gloves

Wear a helmet that has been specifically designed for the type of back country riding you are about to do. Your helmet needs to offer you a high level of protection and impact absorption. Choose the protection that will give you confidence and the knowledge that you have the correct gear to ride away from immediate help.

Check out our MTB Bike Helmet Buying Guide

Gloves will offer you protection from abrasions in a fall and protection from knocks when passing close to objects on a single track. Your hands need to have a good sense of grip on the handlebars when you ride on uneven tracks so make sure the gloves are fitted, the correct size and have the coverage you want. We would recommend full finger gloves.

Check out our Bike Glove Buying Guide

This is a intermediate to advanced mountain bike helmet.

Tip Two – Tools & First Aid

You must carrying tools when you choose to ride in isolated areas. It is a really important commitment to make to keep yourself and your group safe. You should be able to fix a punctured tyre, reconnect a broken chain or adjust a seat or brake lever. We recommend carrying;

Tyre levers, spare tubes, mini pump/CO2 canisters and/or puncture patches
Multi-tool with chain breaker and spare chain links

There are multiple ways you can choose to take tools with you. Seat posts bags are a popular choice. Tool wraps that can be placed in a backpack and will open up to easily display all your tools are a great idea. You need to understand how to use what you carry so if you need some help with this please see the following resources we have created;

Five Simple Bike Tasks You Should Know, The Chain Tool – How to Use It, Tools & Kits to Carry, What’s in a Multi Day Tool Kit for Mountain Biking?

Isolated riding does involve a bit of risk. Riding off road trails requires a certain skill level and is challenging. This can lead to accidents & falls. We recommend carrying at least one Compact First Aid Kit designed for bike riders. When you choose to do any kind of isolated day riding or isolated multi-day/tour riding a first aid kit is an essential piece of gear to carry along with a survival blanket or bag. Again it is just common sense to have basic first aid skills and knowledge of the type of injuries that might occur.

See First Aid for Biking Buying Guide.

First Aid & Emergency Kit for Bike Touring – this story includes a section on hypothermia

Tip Three – Carrying Gear

What you need to be safe depends on how far you are going over how many days. It is also about the weather and how this weather will affect your body temperature. Please see Gear List for Unsupported Multi-Day Riding

Food – Keeping your energy levels high is really important for your enjoyment and your ability to concentrate during the next phase of your riding. Always have food in easy to access places and stop regularly to eat.

Water – For more detail on staying well hydrated please read our Hydration Buying Guide and the story on Hydration – Carrying Water When You Ride. As a general guide more is better. You need to understand where your water sources will be and how often to refill your carrying system.

Clothing – Regulating your body temperature and keeping yourself dry is key to keeping safe and enjoying your ride. Layering is a great tactic. As you warm up you can take off outer layers. Or in reverse, as the weather deteriorates you can add protective layers. Fabrics that have the ability to wick & breath are important so that you and your clothing remains dry. The worst combination is being cold & wet this is why we recommend quick dry fabric or merino with breathable but waterproof outer layers. For more on hypothermia and its dangers please read this story. First Aid & Emergencies When Bike Touring

Bags for Gear – There are many different options that have been designed with unsupported riding in mind. Practice riding before you go and keep your weight low and central to be balance. Please see the story How to Carry Gear – Multi Day MTB Riding or How to Carry Gear – Multi Day Unsupported Riding

Tip Four – Protective Padding

While not a choice for all isolated riding, minimal pull on sleeve type pads will lessen the damage if a fall takes place so should be considered. There are long length pads for elbows or knees and they give your skin graze and abrasion protection.

Pads can be a good way to give you confidence when heading into areas that are a little unknown and may challenge you. We recommend whenever you feel a bit shaky to slow down and be cautious. Often the best way to manage is to walk sections of track.

See our Protective Padding Page for a full range of options

Race Face Charge. Long ride Knee Pads. goride

Knee pads designed for pedalling

Tip Five – Comfort & Contact Points

Your comfort while riding is a huge part of enjoying your time on the bike. It will also keep you protected & safe. There are three key points where you make contact with your bike. The seat, the handlebars and the pedals…

We have extensively covered bike seat comfort and the problems that can occur at this important contact point… View our COMFORT ON YOUR BIKE SEAT page

When to replace your Handlebar Grips

by Jo | Jun 8, 2022 | get Safe

Handlebar grips do need to be replaced. Know when to replace your grips so you have the confidence that you have great control and contact with your handlebars to keep you safe.

Supporting you and your family to SMILE when you ride.

SHOP Handlebar Grips

Handlebar Grip Buying Guide

The purpose of Handlebar Grips

Your handlebar grips provide the connection between your hands and the handlebars of the bike. A good connection is important so you can maintain your grip on the handlebars and steer the bike.

Your handlebar grips provide comfort and cushioning for your hands. Without good comfort and cushioning your can experience discomfort in your hands arms, shoulders and upper body.

Every time you ride your hands will make contact with your grips. Being a contact point on your bike makes them a well used component of your bike. This as well as they are often constructed from materials that are soft and less durable so they can provide cushioning contribute to the fact they often need replacing. However they are frequently a forgotten part of the bike.

,,,so it is vital that you check your handlebar grips regularly and replace them when they become worn.

What to look for in a worn grip.

Handlebar grips are designed with a surface that will assist you to maintain a grip. What that surface is made of as well as the design of the surface varies between different brands and the style and type of grip.

Often the grip will have multiple and small protruding bumps, ridges or waffling to provide a more effective sticky contact surface This style of grip when wearing out will often show as a smoothing and thinning of the surface,

If your grips were originally smooth then when they become worn out, you are looking for a smoother more shinier surface.

If any of these different types of surfaces are very worn out there could be an appearance of cracks, bare spots and holes

Grip ends – The ends of grips are enclosed to cover and provide protection to the end of your handlebars and provide protection to surfaces that handlebars are leant against. Grips ends are often exposed to wearing especially in kids bikes – as they rest their bike on the ground as they get on and off the bike.

Check to make sure that the ends of the grips are fully intact and replace if the end of the grip is compromised.

Smoothing of the ridges and a thining of the the material shows a worn out grip.

Other reasons to replace.

The main other reason to replace ,,,will be if you are finding discomfort in your hands, arms or upper body.

Consider whether you may simply need to replace a worn out grip or you may need to consider the level of cushioning you currently have in your grip. Different grips provide different levels of cushioning. You may require an endurance grip or maybe a change in shape to increase the support to your hands and upper body.

Kids and Youth Bike Pads – Soft versus Hard

by Jo | May 19, 2022 | get Safe

Give your kids and youth padded protection. Bike pads help prevent injury, minimising the scrapes and bruises when they fall. This helps them to get back up and give it another go.

Supporting you and your family to SMILE when you ride.

Shop Kids and Youth Padded Protection

Protective Padding Buying Guide

There are lots of ways to protect yourself when riding a bike. Gloves, a helmet and padding at your knees and elbows. Kids often feel more confident about their riding if you can protect both their knee joints and their elbow joints with Knee Pads and Elbow Pads…

Why use Knee or Elbow Pads?

What do they offer kids who are learning to ride, who are trying to learn new biking skills, or riding on technical trails?

Padding for protection when they fall. Padding will help minimise any injury. Pads prevent scraps and grazes, and help to reduce bruises for recreation riding or kids learning to ride. This type of protection for the skin and boney structures is more important the faster they go and when the tracks get more technical.

Padding to support & give confidence. Adding protection allows kids to give biking a go, to keep trying, learning or progressing on a bike. They can give your timid child the confidence to give things a go, to be a little more adventurous. For young riders on technical trails it allows them to relax and not be so concerned about falling.

Padding to know they are safe to try again. Falls that cause scraps and bruises may holt your child’s progression as they become concerned about their injury. They don’t want to give it another go or for some kids they can be put off biking completely. If they have padding when they fall they are much more likely to get up and get back onto their bike without too much fuss. For more advanced riders, using protection will mean no time off as they allow an injury to heal.

Learning new biking skills with some protection.

Type of protection – soft versus hard

One of the key differences in the design of protective padding is the choice of a soft or hard pad over the joint.

Soft Pads

Soft pad protection is made from foam. The foam provides cushioning and a barrier to the structures that lie underneath – knees and elbows. The density and depth of the foam will vary between brands.

Soft pads are more comfortable to wear and support more movement and agility than hard pads or shells. They will offer protection to soft tissues and skin from scratches, grazing and bruising. They will provide some protection to boney structures. A thicker more dense foam will offer greater protection to boney structures than a thin layer of foam.

Best suited to: recreation riding on smooth or graded surfaces – roads, bike paths, cycle trails, pump tracks, groomed beginner to intermediate mountain bike trails, scootering and skateboarding.

Offers best protection from: skin damage, grazing, sliding injury.

Shop Soft Pad Protection

Hard Pads

Hard pad protection or inserts will be made from a compressed rubber or hard plastic shell. They are more rigid than soft pads so it can be difficult to move/pedal for too long in them. They are generally designed for the more risky part of a ride, the downhill sections, so most riders choose to carry them or wear the knee pads lower on the leg while climbing or cruising and pull them up for the downhill sections.

Hard pads offer a higher level of protection from connection with hard, sharp and protruding objects. They provide a much greater level of protection to boney structures than soft pads do. They have a greater price point due to the more complex design.

Best suited to: adventurous kids, regular mountain bike riding, riding at speed, riding downhill, technical trails.

Offers best protection from: impact injuries, splitting, deep cuts, bruising on or around the joints

Shop Hard Pad Protection

Other Things to Consider

Fit: For kids who are growing having adjustable straps is a great idea so you can get longer use out of the pads you have brought. Adjustability also means you can get a great fit so the pads will be secure and held in place.

Ease of Use and Comfort: Consider how the pads get put on – slip on vs strapped on. Will this be easy for you and your kid? If the pad covers a lot of the leg or arm how easy will it be for them to move and how hot will they be? Most padding is made from some form of neoprene which can be very warm in summer.
