best spinning bikes 2013 image
Kyle
I have a 2013 specialized HK and I have been riding trails a lot but I'm not sure if my tires are to hard and what the psi should be at. Trails have moderate to advanced climbs and my tires are spinning a lot and not grabbing traction. What psi should I keep it at. 29 inch tires
Answer
i keep mine at around 35psi to 45psi max. they grab really nice. too much psi will make the tire stiff and too hard so it wont grab in looser dirt and will simply slide out under you. a low psi will alow the tire to flex and accommodate better to the terain your ridding in.

Is my hybrid bike climbing hills properly?
Q. I recently purchased a hybrid bicycle. A 2013 GIANT Cypress DX.
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/cypress.dx/9019/48868/
I took it out and realized that I seem to go a bit slower than most cyclists I come across that aren't on road bikes. This could just be due to my lack of skill or something.
But when I try to go up hill I notice that it is incredibly difficult, and I think I'm using gears properly, but it's just so painfully slow. I don't know how normal it is or at what speed I should expect to be able to climb hills - I'm sure it depends on how steep the hill in question is -- but is there any way to know how fast I should be going up certain kinds of hills?
Are there certain problems with the bike that could account for this?

You have just begun your cycling journey. Consider that you do not really know how to ride yet. You are not in cycling shape. It can't ate you a long time to understand just how to ride. Months to get into shape, and years to understand how to handle your bike.
Start by reading up on "spinning". You can ask here too. Spinning allows the modern cyclist to ride both distance with speed, and have little fatigue. That will help you understand why you are slow on the road, and even slower on the climb. There are many people ho never learn.
Enjoy the knowledge. It will get you to where you wan to go. The other part is training!
