It has been at least 15 years since I sat on a bike, and I am very out of shape. I would like to ride on the street, but would also like to enjoy the great Mountain Biking trails that AZ has to over. I am not looking to spend more than $400.00. I am 5' 11". What kind of bike would you recommend? What size bike would you recommend. Is there anything else I should know? I am quite clueless.

Hi, I'm moving to the snow and want to build a mountin fixie. Since there aren't many of these out there, I will have to build this one myself. I was wondering if I could fix the rear wheel without having to rebuild it. Or maybe there is a retailer on the web that sells fixed back wheels. Also are there specific hubs I need special for a mountain bike? Anything other advice, comments, rants, raves....?

Thanks a bunch.

*Nick* asked:


I'd like to get a new bike, soon. I live in a very urban area, so initially I thought a road bike would suit me best, but I will need to use it when I go camping and stuff. If I am going to need a bike for both pavement and rugged terrain, would a mountain bike be my best choice?

I know about hybrids, but I have been told by many people that they are pointless and are not really great for anything, just ok for both roads and off-road.

jimmy_tst asked:


I'm considering getting a mountain bike for recreation and exercise. However, I recently came upon an auction for a foldable bicycle at an attractive price of $200 plus (original price was $300 plus). I'm wondering whether a folding bike can perform well on rough terrain like gravel paths. If it doesn't have shift gears and suspension, will riding uphill be difficult?
Also, will it be more difficult to get spare parts for a folding bike?

I'm going to buy a new mountain bike and would like to know the pros and cons of the 29er mountain bikes. I have never ridden one and would like some insite.

Caleb asked:


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?
I'm not asking how to measure myself. I'm asking what signs I'll see and feel on a bike that's too small.
