The "Ask Any Answers" column is a grassroots initiative designed to provide a cool platform for outdoor enthusiasts, helping them gain knowledge and share experiences. Its main goal is to help beginners understand the outdoors, encourage more people to join, and give experienced riders a chance to share their insights. Each stage features one outdoor enthusiast who posts several topics daily in the Cool Square, with real-time online interaction. The next guest will be recommended by the previous one. This discussion is especially useful for long-distance riders.
Thanks to the great conversation led by guest @West sir (http://zhuangbeiku.com/users/978/ownlist), which resonated well with many. You can continue asking questions at http://zhuangbeiku.com/square/15356. Here’s a summary of the key points discussed.
West sir started by emphasizing that having a bike is essential for long-distance riding. If the roads aren’t too rough, he recommends a station wagon without suspension — it's easier and more comfortable. If you don’t have one, a mountain bike will work, but road bikes aren't ideal. He also mentioned several must-have items: locking pedals, a comfortable saddle, butterfly handlebars or horns, and a bag. Locking pedals can save about 30% of your effort, while a good saddle protects your seat. Butterfly handles offer multiple grip positions, and a bag helps carry essentials.
He also stressed the importance of pre-exercising with locking pedals, as they can easily come off if not used properly. A shoulder bag takes pressure off your back and shoulders, making the ride more comfortable. Essential gear includes knee pads, maintenance tools like tire levers, spare tubes, chain cutters, and oil, as well as a helmet and gloves. Helmets are crucial for safety, especially on long descents, and gloves help reduce hand fatigue.
Waterproof bags are a must, and he even emphasized this three times. Adding a vacuum compression bag ensures that even if your clothes get wet, you can change into dry ones at camp.
Happy Four Lords asked about locking pedals, and West sir explained that they require special shoes with cleats. He added that before removing them, you need to twist outward to take them off — something easy to forget. One friend had worn them for years and still occasionally fell out.
Otsuka asked about bike brands, and West sir suggested Giant and Merida as good options under 5000 RMB. The M series is cheaper than the G series, but the G series has better frames. Decathlon isn’t focused on this type of bike.
Meatball Round asked whether road bikes or mountain bikes are better for long rides. West sir said that a station wagon is ideal, but mountain bikes can work on good roads. Road bikes are more for racing.
Lingfeng 122 noted that he rarely sees station wagons on the road. West sir agreed, saying many long-distance riders use mountain bikes, but station wagons are more comfortable for long-term use.
Doll asked about folding bikes for Sichuan rides. West sir said he saw someone using one on the Sichuan-Tibet route, but it would be more tiring.
Qingshui Young Master asked about helmets. West sir confirmed they’re essential, especially on long descents. Equipment Cool Kel asked about handling punctures. West sir said you can either patch or replace the tube, usually replacing it at night. He also warned to check the inside of the tire after a puncture to avoid further damage.
Ru Ru asked about basic equipment for a trip in Jiangxi. West sir listed protective gear, tire repair kits, kettles, flashlights, and recommended GDW bags for their waterproof and vacuum-sealed design. He advised against buying cheap tents and sleeping bags for one-time use, suggesting planning ahead to avoid camping.
Walker Muzi added that hex wrenches, tire repair tools, and spare tubes are essential. Water bottle cages and camping gear should be considered based on the route. Silicone padding and sun protection are also important.
Five Zero asked about jerseys. West sir said racing jerseys reduce wind resistance, and riding underwear can protect sensitive areas.
50 said sunscreen shirts weren’t effective. West sir agreed that long sleeves are sufficient, but short sleeves can still cause sunburn.
Gossip Road emphasized the importance of riding underwear for keeping dry. West sir agreed, adding that sun protection is crucial — you might look 30 but feel 50 if not careful.
Walker Muzi asked about spare tires on the Tibet route. West sir said he had repaired tires multiple times and learned how to do it properly.
In summary, when preparing for long-distance riding, choose a station wagon first, then a mountain bike. Use a comfortable saddle, locking pedals, butterfly handlebars, and a waterproof bag. Essentials include a helmet, gloves, knee pads, tire tools, spare tubes, chain oil, a kettle, and a flashlight. Don’t forget sun protection and a vacuum-sealed bag for your clothes.
