Travis F asked:


I am looking to purchase a new mountain bike for general recreation, but will probably ride on or around trails in San Diego. Any advice or tips on certain brands or style?

susan s asked:


Im doing a presentation for my marketing class selling bike tires. I need to know the material composition of a bike tire, if there s any warranty or Guarantee, and for how long on bike tires.
The price of an average mountain bike tire?
Thank you.

smiley f asked:


The question says it all. I am trying to find a good bike to begin mountain trails and such. It will lots of uphill and downhill and some road use. I would like to keep it under 800 with tax if possible. If you can recommend any brands/models/ or even what type of parts I should expect so I do not get swindled at my shop.

Jimmix asked:


I am an amateur at this and my girlfriend and I know we would enjoy it. I want to get something dependable because I know I would attempt to treat it rough. I would like the different speeds and such and I am not sure if I need full suspension or only front. Plus if you could explain the different lingo that goes with shopping for a mountain bike. Thanks

gr8diver2000 asked:


I feel like bike dealers are like used car lots and really trying to rip me off. If I buy online I won't be able to test ride it before I buy. Is there a better way to buy a new mountain bike that I don't know of?

mhovanes21 asked:


I am looking for an entry level mountain bike that will be suitable for casual riding on pavement and some light trails. Not looking to spend more than $400.

I don't know a whole lot about the manufacturers, so I thought it would be a good idea to narrow my search to within 2 or 3 brand names.

asked:


I'm a junior in high school, and I live a little under 4 miles from my school. I plan on riding a bike to school, but I have a huge mountain bike. My route to school isn't that busy, so to say, but mountain bikes technically are meant to ride on mountains. Would it be safe or lawful to drive in around Boston, MA?

frank a asked:


Okay, I always come up with a hobby every summer, like the last summer, I liked RC gas cars, but I realized it's so much expensive. Now, my hobby is on mountain bikes. Where can I find mountain bikes in the Philippines that are cheap (about, let's say, P2000-P3000?) but they are in good hands. And if you know someone also that has a mountain bike that's much for dirt and things like that (in the Philippines) that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Snaox asked:


I need to find out how long it would take me to go to a place with a mountain bike, and what is the average speed of a mountain bike that isn't going it's max speed, but going from one place to another without rushing, but not going so slow that that a person running cant catch up?

Sappho asked:


I have a 21 speed Giant brand mountain bike, 3 high gears and 7 low. I only switch the low gear when I'm in first gear and trying to climb a hill. I only switch the high gear when the low gear is at its highest (otherwise the chain is guaranteed to fall off due to the angle). I have tried shifting while pedaling, while not pedaling, while not moving, while pedaling backwards, every way I can imagine, but for some reason the chain seems to fall off an awful lot. It's a real time consuming pain to get it back on, and I end up with a lot of grease stains on my clothing and hands.

Should I be pedaling when I shift? Is it okay to shift down after stopping (to make it easier to start pedaling again)? What is it that is causing the chain to fall off while I'm riding?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me!
