How to Perfectly Manual a Mountain Bike: 5 Tips for Maximum Control
Manualing a mountain bike involves lifting the front wheel off the ground and balancing on the rear wheel. Start by pedaling at a moderate speed and shifting your weight backwards. As the front wheel begins to rise, use your body to balance and keep the wheel up. Continue pulling back until you feel you’ve reached the maximum height and then gently bring the wheel back to the ground. Remember to keep your arms straight and your weight centered over the rear wheel to maintain balance.
