Order trekking bikes online at velondo.ie Trekkingrad Shop

A trekking bike is recommended for longer trips with or without luggage. If you want to cycle through the most beautiful cycling regions of Germany and Europe, you need a puncture-proof bike that should be equipped with good gears and grippy brakes, as well as adequate lighting and a sturdy luggage rack. What is the approximate investment in such a bike? For around 400-500 euros you can get an all-round bike of acceptable quality. For 750 euros or more, you can expect a bit more in terms of durability and equipment. Trekking bikes from 1000 euros upwards can be tailored to your individual needs by a manufacturer.

Basic questions before buying a trekking bike at velondo.ie

Before you consider buying a trekking bike, you should think about which group of cyclists you would count yourself as. Are you more of a sporty, ambitious cyclist or do you prefer a leisurely ride? Are you drawn to the mountains or do you prefer to use your new trekking bike on the flat? Do you also want to use the bike for commuting to work or are you more of a "fair-weather cyclist"? The answer to these questions has a decisive influence on the choice of a trekking bike that is suitable for your personal needs. Then you should consult trade magazines, test reports, forums or our hotline to find out what kind of trekking bike would be suitable for you. Only then should you answer the question of your budget.

Frame material, suspension, gears depending on riding style and type; features of the trekking bike at a glance

.

The frame material of trekking bikes is often aluminium or steel. Steel frames are usually more expensive and feel stiffer and harder to ride. To cushion this stiffness, many trekking bikes are equipped with a suspension fork. On some trekking bikes, the suspension can be locked or released via a switch, depending on the terrain you are riding on. On uneven roads, cobblestones and bumpy surfaces, you can switch on the suspension and block it again on perfectly flat roads. Depending on which group of cyclists you would classify yourself (ambitious, sporty, leisurely), the choice of gears depends. For a leisurely ride on a trekking bike on the flat and leisurely bike tours along Germany's river courses, an 8- or 9-speed hub gear is quite sufficient. They can be shifted with one hand and have a coaster brake. However, if you are planning longer bike tours and want to climb mountains with your trekking bike, we recommend a derailleur with at least 24 gears. This gives you the fine-tuning you need when riding uphill. You should also bear in mind that longer tours usually mean more luggage. A trekking bike with derailleur gears and - if you frequently ride in the mountains - with a large sprocket (30 to 34 teeth), guarantee effortless climbing even on steep climbs with luggage and headwind. The carrier should be stable, after all it has to carry your luggage. Racks with spring flaps are more suitable for everyday use than those without. Make sure that the luggage rack of your trekking bike has downward struts to provide optimal support for your panniers. Poorly fastened luggage is immediately noticeable in a negative way and reduces the riding pleasure. It is advantageous if the rear reflector attached to the pannier rack of your trekking bike is protected by a kind of roll bar. If you often have to carry your trekking bike to the cellar, for example, you may bump into something and damage the rear light or reflector. Roll bars prevent this. The saddle of your trekking bike should not be too soft. It is better to choose a slightly firmer model. Your backside will thank you. If you must have suspension, then have a suspension seatpost. However, there are considerable differences in price and quality in this area. A small saddle bag attached to the saddle is also useful. Small items such as repair kits and tools can be easily stored there. Let's move on to the handlebars. Make sure that the handlebars on your trekking bike can be easily adjusted in height. The grips can be ergonomically shaped so that your hands don't fall asleep. Gear and brake levers should be easy to reach.

For safety's sake: Braking system & lighting

Trekking bikes designed for the city or short rides are usually equipped with drum or roller brakes. Trekking bikes for longer trips with luggage, however, usually have rim brakes. If you are prepared to spend a little more, we recommend hydraulic brakes. They also provide the necessary bite in wet conditions. You should not skimp on the lighting system of a high-quality trekking bike. Long-lasting LED lamps with a hub dynamo that emit a very bright light are first-class. The advantage of a hub dynamo over a classic dynamo is that you hardly feel it when the light is on. At this point it should be mentioned that according to road traffic regulations, a bicycle is not roadworthy if it is equipped with a battery-powered lamp. So actually, every bicycle that participates in road traffic should be equipped with a lamp powered by a dynamo of whatever kind. However, the absence of a dynamo is tolerated by the police.

Don't get out of step with the right pedals

Ideally, the pedals of your trekking bike should be made of metal with a cushioning and non-slip plastic coating. Ambitious cyclists also like to choose combination pedals; on one side they have a click system (clickies) into which special cycling shoes are clicked and on the other side a normal plastic pad for normal road shoes. Pedals with reflectors are a plus in terms of safety. This makes you more visible to other road users in the dark and in poor visibility conditions.

28 inch as standard wheels for the trekking bike

Let's move on to the tyres of a trekking bike. The 28-inch tyres of many manufacturers already offer good puncture protection. If you are willing to spend a little more and accept an additional weight of about 150 grams per tyre, you can choose a tyre with a protective rubber belt. For those who ride a lot far from paved roads, we recommend "semislicks". The tread centre of these tyres is smooth. This guarantees low rolling resistance on asphalt roads. There are short lugs on the side of the tyre, so that you always have a good grip with these tyres even on unpaved terrain. As for the spokes, eyeleted models have proven their worth. These spokes fit into small ring eyelets and are therefore more stable. The likelihood of getting an "eight" in the trekking bike is lower with eyeleted spokes. Small reflectors can also be attached to the spokes of the trekking bike. They are light as a feather and do not add weight, but they do add safety. To prevent the tyres from throwing dirt and moisture to the rear, trekking bikes should be equipped with mudguards. By the way, your shoes will stay drier if the mudguard on the front wheel is as long as possible and has an additional spoiler. Remember, dry footwear is important because you usually only have one pair of cycling shoes with you on a bike tour. Your trekking bike should also have at least one pair of mounting eyes for a bottle cage. On some bikes you can even attach 2 water bottles. Since you should always have a bicycle lock with you on a bicycle tour, you can also use the device for the second drinking bottle to attach a bicycle lock.
