Bike Reviews

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.

I need a new mountain bike and don’t want to pay more than £200. All the ones I’ve had in the past seem to break too easily – so am looking for a strong one. Can anyone recommend a model, brand or any other place on the web I can find some helpful information?

Im looking to build a wooden step up to use with my mountain bike. I will put it on a dirt track i built near my house. all answers appreciated. i live in arizona so it has to be durable.

Thanks in advance for answering. I am a Munro bagger and I am looking for a mountain bike to allow me to access some of Scotland`s more remote Munros. The requirements are as follows:-
It has to be able to withstand up to 20 Kms of track and path in each direction,
It has to have enough gears to be easily ridden up hilly paths, and down obviously
It will be getting tied to trees and hidden in the heather whilst I climb the mountian, so it has to easy to immobilise,
It has to fit onto a current shape Nissan Micra.
Should I go for new or secondhand?
Cheers.

I live in Vancouver BC in Canada and I know downhill mountain biking is really big here. I have a mountain bike that I don’t use and want to sell it but I’m having a hard time finding a good site to sell on.
Aside from the obvious Kijiji and Ebay of course…

My definition of affordable would be anywhere from $150 to $250. Which bike brand do you think would be best for mountain biking, and which do you think is the fastest overall? I know that this question is hard to answer, but what is your personal favorite?

Ok, so I’m looking to get a mountain bike. Mostly gonna be for trails or off roading. Not looking to spend a whole lot of money here, maybe 400-500 bucks i guess, but just wondering what is a decent bike for someone beginning?

I’ve just began to cycle again. I had been running quite a bit and got injured. To stay strong, I have been riding my mountain bike @least 5 times a week for almost a month and in order to get a good workout, I ride or use a trainer for at least an hour at at time.
My crotch still hurts! I’ve been fitted for my bike, I’ve got the gel seat, nice bike shorts, I’ve done everything but that’s what’s ending my workout. How long does it take to toughen up?
