Bike Reviews

My wife and I are getting starting to do sprint triathlons and she and I need bikes other than mountain bikes does anyone have suggestions for us?

I currently have a specialized rockhopper with all the standard components. Its a mountain bike through and through. I am somewhat new to the biking world and I know it is possible to convert it to a road bike but how would one go about it? and with all that in mind, would it not be worth it and should i just save up for a road bike?

I will have the bike shop guy set me up with the right size and everything, but will using more road-friendly tires increase my speed and distance? I love mountain biking but I figure I need to start using my bike for all-purpose activities, such as getting groceries. I want to be able to go further and faster but without purchasing a road bike.
Is there anything else I can do to help compensate for the heavy frame?

besides common brands like rockshox, fox, marzocchi etc
what are other brands for mountain bike fork?
even cheaper brands like RST and suntour are alright.

I want to purchase a mountain bike for around $200 dollars. I ride in the evening on the street with my little boy and need a new bike. I have found Mongoose and Schwinn’s but do not know which would be best? I am 6′3 and 220 pounds so I need a good sturdy one, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have no idea know what to look for when choosing a good mountain bike. Im from Houston so no mountains , but have some decent trails. I know there are so many options now a days and have no idea where to start. To be honest im not sure if height matters but I am 5′9″. I plan to ride 2-3 times a week. Which name brands are good?

I’m looking to get a mountain bike next month and wanted to know what is the ideal bike for a beginner who’s not looking to spend more than $150.

I purchased everything I need, and built a mountain bike. I had the frame powder coated white and with “POLICE” decals purchased on ebay, decorated it accordingly. At first glance it might appear I stole it from an officer of the law. A closer look would make it obvious I didn’t. Just wondering if this is not legal, even if I keep it away from air shows and other places the bicycle cops patrol.

Hi I’m new to biking. I’m starting to get more and more interested in mountain biking. I enjoy going to my local canyon in Aliso Viejo. I was just wondering what are some inexpensive and easy ways to make my bike well, better(faster, lighter, etc.). I have a specialized that i bought a few years ago. it has disk brakes, shocks, 24 gears, it was about 300 dollars. so how do i make it better?

I have limited funds (less than $120) and I would like to buy a set of clippless mountain bike pedals and a pair of the “performance” style shoes. What is more important, nice shoes, or nice pedals? Which should I splurge more on?
I am thinking about the brands nashbar and shimano, and I am wondering whether I should get the cheaper nashbar pedals and the more expensive shoes, or the more expensive pedals and cheaper pedals.
