I think I realized what the problem is… I have a specialized alum mountain bike. In the rear sometimes the tires rub against the rear of the frame because the wheels get out of place when I’m straining going uphill climbs. I think its because my wheel clamps.. the long rob and clamp that keeps my wheel in place is stripped? Meaning where the metal from the clamp meets the metal where the hub rests on the frame is grinded down giving no grip at all. The metal seems kind of worn down and getting thin on the frame itself there. What can I do so keep the wheel in place so it doesn’t move around in rough situations?
well I have concluded that it shoulden’t be bad if i do a couple of miles but how many miles do you suggest w/ a mountain bike while street riding?
thanks in advance
it’s a power climber Next mountain bike if that means anything. Every time i pedal hard, it squeaks usually on the right side.
I have a fairly cheapish mountain bike, recently I have found that when too much pedal force is excerpted, the chain seems to rise up and off of the front largest pedal gear sprockets.
Do I need to remove a link or two from the bike chain because the chain may have become stretched over time?
Or do I need to adjust the derailleur thus to increase chain tension?
My bf wants to buy a mountain bike, and we needed to know what factors we should consider before buying. We already know the frame is important. What else? He’s 6 6″, so we need to be specific. Any ideas? Advice?
I want to start cycling or mountain biking but am basically new to this. What are some basic features I should look for and how much should I expect to spend for my first bike?
I’m getting into mountain biking and have been looking around, although I really don’t know how to tell if it’s too small? I fit an 18″ or 19″ frame very nicely, but how do I know when I’m just too small for the bike?
