Shimano footwear, soft goods and wheels are warranted for a period of one year. About Shimano In 1961, a 3-speed bicycle hub displayed at the New York Toy Show was the catalyst for what would eventually become Shimano American Corporation. The popularity of 20-inch wheeled bikes with hi-rise handle bars fueled a demand for multi-speed hubs and Shimano was producing an affordable and reliable version that caught the attention of the industry. So much so, that by 1965, Yoshizo Shimano, the youngest son of the company founder in Japan, opened an office in New York to get quicker product feedback and to provide technical and warranty assistance to retailers selling bikes equipped with Shimano parts. Though Shimano American has grown from that first modest office staffed by only three people to a full distribution center with sales and marketing offices, the goals are the same: to ensure that Shimano always has a listening ear to provide feedback on relevant trends and needs of the North American market for both bicycle and fishing products and make those a reality for customers. |

Featured Article:
Most beginners to the sport of cycling assume that you just have to push hard down on the pedals in order to be effective, but they are misinformed. What results from this is what I like to call the "waddling duck," pushing down side to side to move yourself forward. In fact, they only have about a quarter of the stroke perfected.
Without being too technical, to get maximum efficiency you should apply force perpendicular to the crank arm (the piece of metal connecting the pedal to the gears) throughout the circle made by the pedal. Trying to do this perfectly requires alot of practice and could drive your crazy, but breaking the circle up into fourths makes things more manageable. All you have to do is develop the motion and then practice it.
We'll start at the 3 o'clock position. This is where you want to push straight down, which is a simple motion that most people have lots of practice with.
Next comes the 6 o'clock position, where your leg is extended the farthest. While approaching this position you should use the image of "scraping mud off the bottom of your shoe." This will get you to pull the pedal towards your back wheel.
Now we're at the 9 o'clock where you should "pull" the pedal up. I use quotes for this because pulling isn't exactly necessary to accomplish a good circular stroke. Simply lifting the weight of your leg on the upstroke will allow your other leg which is pushing down to be more effective. Not taking the weight off your pedal makes your downward leg have to push your other leg up.
Finishing your circular movement off is 12 o'clock, where you want to push your knee towards the handle bars.
So while your cycling, you want to think briefly, "push down," "scrape mud off of shoe," "pull leg up," "push knee towards handle bar."
To practice good form, you want to lower your cadence (the speed of your pedaling) to about 60 rpm, so that your movements are slower and easier to manage. You first want to concentrate on one leg at a time, and then eventually both legs together.
Doing this for the first five minutes of your ride will improve your technique and efficiency.

Is Mountain Biking For You?
Since the beginning of time, the human race has been inventing new games and sports. In ancient times, games were invented to test endurance and train warriors for acts of war. Some of the newest sports to develop are snowboarding, rollerblading, skateboarding and mountain biking. While none of these sports would be able to assist in a warfare type situation, they are pretty extreme sports and will definitely keep you fit and your "fight or flight" responses working at peak conditions.
Mountain biking has transformed the traditional bicycle, first available in the late 1800's, into a well oiled piece of machinery. The knock-on effect of this has created one of the most exciting and popular new sports of the 21st Century.
Regardless of the fact that the sport is referred to as "mountain biking" it is actually suitable for everyone, regardless of background biking proficiency and age. Although I wouldn't recommend that my ninety-year-old grandmother participate, she might disagree with me as she is always up for a new challenge. Some of the most appealing things about this sport is that you can participate at relatively low cost, and that you can start off slowly. Just because you're mountain biking, it doesn't mean that you have to pedal at breakneck speed down Everest.
A mountain bike is not your average bicycle, and the extreme end of the sport may be quite simply described as "bicycling on steroids". Mountain biking will always demand more of you than just pedaling along a flat road on a sunny afternoon. Even the bike itself is built with this in mind. It's more streamlined and muscular in appearance than the good, old fashioned, racing bike. Characteristically, the frame is built from chunky, rounded tubing suspended above shock absorbers and the tires are also chunky and knobby.
The terrain that mountain biking takes place in is very different from the more traditional form of biking. Mountain bikes are made to go up and down rocky trails and descend into muddy streambeds and sandbanks. This is normally all the fun of the activity.
The mountain biker does have to be an adrenaline junkie to some extent. It is more physically demanding than other more passive forms of biking, and requires razor sharp reflexes and quick thinking in the face of hazards or danger. These skills can be learned, but don't think that on your first ride you are going to be able to accomplish the same result as a seasoned master of the trails. You need to take your time and develop first-rate mountain biking legs.
But if you think you are going to like this sport and are determined to take part in mountain biking, it is helpful to have a basic knowledge of the different categories available to you. Here are the five different popular categories of mountain biking.
1. The most popular is "Cross Country," which is normally undertaken on rough, woodland paths.
2. "Downhill Mountain Biking" entails racing downhill and includes large jumps.
3. "Dirt Jumping" is about exhibiting the biggest and most amazing stunts.
4. "Free Riding" is riding out without any particular style.
5. "Urban Riding" involves grinding ledges and can be done anywhere.
Each category needs a different bike that suits the terrain, and possibly a slightly different personality type as well. Once you have chosen your desired category and your preferred bike, all that will be left for you to do is start pedaling.

Ana, a competitive cyclist, rides her stationary exercise bike at a rate of 14 miles per hour at an incline of zero. She wanted to simulate a long uphill and downhill ride. She programmed the bike so the decrease in her rate going uphill would equal the increase in her rate going downhill. For 3 hours, she pedaled at the uphill setting. And for 2 hours, she pedaled at the downhill setting, returning to the starting point of her computerized ride. What is the number of miles she pedaled from her starting point to the peak of the virtual hill?
Seventy miles

After the performance of Denis Menchov and Robert Gesink on the first mountain stage in the Pyrenees, the Rabobank team was pretty pleased with the day's results: Its two team leaders were able to defend or strengthen their position in the general classification, with Menchov still in fourth and Gesink gaining a spot.
