One extremely important part of mountain biking is properly setting up the position of your bike’s seat. If your bike’s seat is not positioned correctly, then you could risk a few different problems arising during your rides. Using the correct bike seat position for your own body type should help you to avoid having problems with your joints which could easily become detrimental to your overall performance on the trail. It can also help you to improve your endurance plus it should make your bike ride way more comfortable and enjoyable for you. Your road to fully understanding this particular concept should start off with a little bit of experimentation on your part. You will need to figure out which position and what height your bike seat feels most comfortable in and then continue to use that arrangement whenever you need to ride your bike or any other bike for a long amount of time. 

Basically, setting your seat position can be summarized in a few steps:

• First, you should know that whenever you set a bike seat you will have to deal with two different adjustments. One of them is the horizontal position of your bike seat and the other is the angular position of your seat. The most important thing to have in mind when you are setting your seat is comfort of course so these two types of adjustments should be as comfortable to you as possible. Expert heliskiing
  
  Once you are fully aware of how the two different adjustments affect you, you can begin changing them to suit you. Your horizontal position should be set so that when your pedal reaches the bottom of its stroke, the frontal part of your knee is directly above the pedal axle.
  
• Next you’ll need to set the seat angle so that the seat is generally level. Beyond that your comfort should lead the way. You should feel like the bones in your rear end are doing most of the support work but you shouldn't feel like the seat is trying to push you forward or rearward. Extreme heliskiing
  
  
  

If you are experiencing issues with numbness in the crotch area while you are riding, there is a good chance that a change in your seat position can help fix the problem. This can be greatly affected by the seat itself, but as far as position goes, adding a little forward angle may help.

Let’s face it. Some people's stuff just stinks. The worst is when you can smell the people you’re riding with. It’s one thing if you can smell your own stuff, but when the people riding behind you can smell you as well, you’ve crossed the line. If your stuff smells, there is hope. Follow some guidelines and you don’t have to smell!

The main sources of smelly things are helmets, gloves, and clothing that don't dry out properly. Even though your helmet makes for a perfect spot to put your gloves, don't do it! Don't put your gloves inside your helmet after you ride, make the commitment to place both your helmet and your gloves somewhere where they will dry separately and quickly. The same advice applies to shorts and shirts. Never ball your clothes up somewhere where they won't dry out properly after a ride.

To solve the dry out problem you can try two tricks. First, don't immediately pack anything away after a ride. If you drove to the trailhead, leave it all out in your car until you get home. Second, If and when you do pack your stuff up, don't ball anything up, and use an open meshed bag that allows everything to continue to dry quickly.

Finally, there is nothing wrong with washing your stuff regularly. Really, you should wash your shorts and shirt after every ride, and if it’s necessary, you can do the same with your gloves and helmet padding. You should try to keep multiples of everything around so that you can rotate them through your normal clothes washes.
