Ua hoʻomaka ka paikikala mauna ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a he moʻolelo pōkole kona, ʻoiai ua hoʻomaka ka paikikala alanui ma ʻEulopa a he moʻolelo o nā makahiki he ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi haneli. Akā i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe Kina, ua hohonu loa ka manaʻo o nā paikikala mauna ma ke ʻano he "kumu" o nā paikikala haʻuki. Ua hoʻomaka paha ia mai nā lā mua o ka hoʻoponopono a me ka wehe ʻana i nā makahiki 1990. Ua komo ka nui o ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika i Kina. ʻO ka pūʻulu mua o nā "paikikala haʻuki" i komo i ka mākeke Kina, ʻaneʻane pau nā paikikala mauna a he nui nā mea holo i kuhihewa e pili ana i nā paikikala alanui.

Kuhihewa 1:   ʻAʻole maikaʻi nā kūlana alanui o Kina, a ʻoi aku ka kūpono o nā paikikala mauna no nā kūlana alanui o Kina.ʻOiaʻiʻo, no ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i nā kūlana alanui, ʻo ke kūlana alanui ma ʻEulopa, kahi i hoʻomohala nui ʻia ai nā haʻuki kaʻa alanui, he haʻahaʻa loa ia. ʻOi aku hoʻi, kahi i hānau ʻia ai ke kaʻa paikikala alanui ma Flanders, Belgium, kahi i ʻike ʻia ai nā hanana kaʻa paikikala ʻo Stone Road Classic. I nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, ua lilo ka "bike alanui all-terrain", a i ʻole nā ​​​​kaʻa gravel, i mea kaulana loa ma ʻEulopa, kahi mea hiki ʻole ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia mai nā kūlana alanui maikaʻi ʻole ma ʻEulopa. A ʻaʻole kaulana loa ka gravel ma Kina, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke alanui a nā mea holo kaʻa kūloko e holo pinepine ai ma mua o kēia.

Ma ke paikikala mauna, me he mea lā he mea hoʻopūhoihoi, kahi mea ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o ka holo ʻana. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua hānau ʻia ka mea hoʻopūhoihoi ma ke paikikala mauna no ka mana ma mua o ka "cushion", inā paha ma mua a ma hope paha. ʻOi aku ka paʻa o nā huila, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu o ka holo ʻana. ʻAʻole hana nui kēia mau hoʻopūhoihoi ma nā alanui i hoʻopaʻa ʻia.

Kuhihewa 2: ʻAʻole ikaika nā kaʻa alanui a maʻalahi hoʻi e haki

Ma ke ʻano o ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka hāʻule ʻana, ʻoi aku ka paʻa o nā paikikala mauna ma mua o nā paikikala alanui, ma hope o nā mea a pau, aia ke kaumaha a me ke ʻano o ka paipu. ʻOi aku ka ikaika o nā lako waena a me nā mea haʻahaʻa ma ka mākeke a ʻaʻole haʻahaʻa. No laila, ʻaʻole paʻa nā paikikala alanui e like me nā paikikala mauna, akā ua lawa ko lākou ikaika, ʻoiai no ka hoʻohana mālie ʻana ma waho o ke alanui.

Kuhihewa 3: He pipiʻi nā paikikala alanui

ʻAʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kumukūʻai o nā paikikala mauna o ka pae like ma mua o nā paikikala alanui. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai o nā mea holo alanui e hoʻololi i kēia mea ma mua o nā levers brake + shifters o nā paikikala mauna.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, makemake wau e hoʻokūpaʻa i kaʻu manaʻo. He ʻokoʻa ke ʻano o ka paikikala, inā ʻoe e leʻaleʻa, ua pololei ʻoe. ʻO ka nui o ka leʻaleʻa hiki iā ʻoe ke holo, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka haʻuki.
