I've done mountain biking for years and i own a pretty nice setup when it comes to mountain biking. The bad part is that the nearest trail is about an hour from my home and so i cant get out there as often as i would like and even less to work out. I lift weights but i am looking for a good carido type things so i am looking at a type of road bike. I narrowed it down to either the Trek 1500, Giant OCR/TCR models or at a Trek 7.3/7.5 or Giant FCR. Remember, its for fitness and not a big step in to the road circuit. What is your advice.

I currently own a GT Avalanche 3.0 and want to get a more seriuos bike. I've looked at the GT Avalanche 1.0 as well as the GT Zaskar.

I would prefer the Zaskar over the Avalanche since it's probably lighter, but have heard how the new frames seem prone to failure. Anyone know about the quality/weight of the new Zaskar frames? Would the Avalanche 1.0 be a better choice?

Any other recommendations?

i am looking to upgrade basically half my bike before race season and a new stem is part of that package. i was liking the Bontrager Race XXX Lite Carbon OS stem to replace my bontrager select. is it worth it to go carbon? the mechanic at my shop says he would rather have a strong stem than a light one. how likely are these things to break? im only using for XC racing, trail riding, and road.

i have an SRAM cassette, PG 950 i think or something like that. one of the cogs is wearing out and the chain is jumping on it now. i do plan on getting a new cassette (maybe a PG990) and a chain when i get paid, but i want to know if i can just get a single cog to replace this one with so i can use it on one of my junk bikes to huck around.

my cassette comes completely apart - every cog comes apart, so i know they can be replaced individually, the question is where do i get a single cog.

Hello everyone,

I am unsure of whether or not to purchase over ebay, credit card issues aside; I can't determine whether or not it is worth it to buy bike parts as a resident of Canada -- I live close to the border (within a few hundred km) of the United States, so purchasing from border states I guess would be less of a problem.

What do you suggest a new biker (who wants to pay minimal on the FIRST bike) do? Is ebay the option for him/her? I've looked on my two local sites --one with craigslist and the other called usedottawa-- but I've yet to find anything beyond a specialized stumpjumper comp m3 -- used. All other bikes are far out of price range right now.

I really want to get into this before the beginning of the riding season. What am I to do? I don't want to be left out!!! There's so much enjoyment that can be had right here, right now.

I'm open to any suggestions. This is all about HOW to go about purchasing a bike.

Many thanks,

Av

PS. Thanks Alex (last q)

Hello everyone,

I've been asking questions here rather frequently, but I am still in need of help. I almost had my hands on a specialized stumpjumper comp m-3 for $250.00 but the buyer reluctantly pulled out after she decided that she'd like to ride the bike for another summer... shucks! And I was so close to having what I wanted.

Looks like I'm going the alternative route, to buy bikes for their parts and assemble my own (for now, not including the future, when I'll be possibly buying a new bike).

Which brings me to my question, what does the MSRP of this bike look to be? It's used, on its last legs, but a few parts of the bike look savalgeable; the frame, fork and brakes (although they are v-brake... those aren't high quality, right?)

Anyway, take a look here at the bike: http://houston.craigslist.org/bik/286502596.html

(higher resolution of the bike shows it to be a 2405 MXT Giant).

Thanks very much,

Av

I ride paved trails mostly for exercise and recreation. Sometimes I do small jumps, so I like full suspension.

I'm accustomed to buying $90 department store bikes. I was going to get a Mongoose from Wal-Mart for around $300, but I figured if I was going to spend that much, I might as well get something OUT of a department store with better components.

I came across Pinnacle Ouray bicycles. I like the disc brakes, the Shimano Tourney component (I'm aware it's Shimano's lowest component), the Rock Shox fork (I'm guessing it's among Rock Shox lowest component), I like the Pinnacle Ouray bicycles over-all.

I wanted to try tubeless tires, unfortunately these bikes DO have tubes, but I can work with that. I've had nice experiences with the slime + tube tires to stop flats

Anyways, I'd like your input on if these bikes are a wise buy for the features.

Please see ebay item numbers:

170028577172

I need some slicks to ride to work. I usually use tioga city slickers because they are cheap fast and work on wet roads. does anyone know of a comparabel tire or maybe a better one. Also, is it better to use a separate wheelset for my slicks or just use the same a change out the tires?

Last summer, I got laughed at when I raced with Converse All-Stars. I've cycled for years with those shoes (great for dry conditions, terrible for wet conditions). Why should I pay more for cycling shoes? What are some good affordable shoes for mountain biking?
