Last year I bought a yz 125 and I'm going to sell it sometime soon. I've been doing trail riding now more than I was so here is where the question comes. What bike is good for tough trail riding? It also needs plenty of power to make it up some very steep hillsides. Also, in the trails probably next year when it's warmer out I'll be hopefully making a small track in the woods with a few good sized jumps on it so it should be able to handle that. Also, are there any trail bikes out there that can handle around a 40 foot jump. I ask because the yz I had before could handle it. Thanks.

A few years back I was visiting friends in Idaho/Utah. To cut a long story short I was a student at the time and chose to cycle to the shops, friend's houses etc. Everywhere I went people just blew their horns at me despite my best efforts to keep out of the way. It was usually fat morons in gas guzzlers who were the worst offenders. In Ireland cyclists have as much right to use the road as motorists. Why not in the US; "The Land of the Free".

I've bought my bike about half an year ago and it became my only mean of transportation. Because I’m sort of a newbie in this area I’m wondering- how do one ride in the rain? I live in a hot country, it rains occasionally in the winter, but the temperatures are still high. I’m used to wearing a t shirt and a mini skirt throughout the winter- I guess I could wear a raincoat, but I'll be really hot.
Any advice and ideas would be welcomed :P

What are some good sites online to shop for mountain biking shoes? Both of the local bike stores near my house have an extremely limited selection of shoes (like three pair each). Performance and Nashbar seem to have a good selection, but never the right sizes. What I'm looking for is a shoe (SPD) that you can get off the bike and walk around easily. I'm not looking for the type of shoe that looks like a road shoe with a little tread. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I have decided that i would like to buy my dad a Bike for X-mass. The main use would be for street and some light off road (trail) riding. I really cant spend much more then $300 and was wondering if there are any "Good Quality" bikes out there that would fit my price range.

(Not looking for any Generic Wal-Mart / K-mart specials) would like a good quality bike.

I'm being offered at the LBS around 1700 dollars for each frame. I plan on passing everything from my current bike onto a new frame. I plan on using it to do some minor downhill, small jumps, joyriding, training, and racing.

Which one should i get?
The S-Works Stumpjumper comes with an intelligent Fox rear shock. The otherone is nice too and i don't mind the fact that it doesn't have an intelligent rear shock either.

My decision depends on what i can use the bike for. I see the Enduro as a DH orientated frame, while the S-Works as for more agressive XC.

What do you think?

There are quite a few high end XC trail bikes coming out with carbon fibre frames, like the IBIS Mojo or top end Stumpies. Is this the new thing? They are light (at least a pound lighter), but what are the drawbacks? If you were spending a lot on this sort of bike now, world you go carbon, or get a similar priced Alu frame bike?

I know this sounds like the sort of question that someone who knows nothing about bikes would ask, but I assure you I have tried everything. I have retensioned the cables (I have even replaced the rear one) but for some reason the brake pads just don't stop the bicycle. They look practically as good as new too - despite being thirty-two years old they have virtually no wear at all. What could be causing this?

I want a sort of mountain bike type but I don't know which one to get for my size. I'm 5'4" and I don't know whether to get a 24" or a 26". I know what brand I'm getting because my friend has that brand and itis really nice. I just want a bike to ride around on on the weekends and stuff, so I just need to know which size bike to get. If this helps, I weigh 125 pounds, so if you know a lot about bikes I appreciate your help. Thanks!

i am not really specifying for what purpose i should use the bike. i just want to know which bike has the overall superior quality in terms of built and durability. i always prefer quality even if the design is not attractive.

maybe these criteria could help you out:

built - proprietary material composition that has the highest quality (hardness, lightweightness...)

durability - ability of frames or other parts that could withstand repeated stresses due to weight and vibration even under prolonged exposure to the elements (moisture, sunlight, etc)

ductility - property that enables the materials to remain flexible when it is subjected to tensile stresses (but not that flexible such that it always bends)

bicycle experts i need your opinions based on your observations on the different brands that you have used and the length of time that you have been using these bikes.

I was cleaning the chain with citrus cleaner and a special park tools chain cleaner but some of the solution got onto my rims. When I finished up, I lubed my chain but some of it got onto the rims. (I cleaned off the brake pads using nail polish remover and it worked).

How can I get this lube off of my rims though?

I am looking to get a bike for riding in parks or on trails occasionally, but when started looking for a bike (used), I became all confused with all the heights, sizes, speeds, etc. Can someone give me some advice as to what kind of bike I need? I am 5'2", female, and won't be riding it very often (once a week at most). Also, what is a reasonable price to pay for such a bike?
