Bike Types

i sold my 2008 mirraco icon option with a broken crank arm for 150.00 dollars

It depends on how you push it down.

Terminal velocity (top speed) is when the driving force is matched by the two opposing drag forces, air drag force and rolling resistance force.

The (constant) driving force (due to gravity) you get from :

force (N) = mass (m) of bike and rider in kg * g * sine ( incline angle in degrees) )

( g = local gravity rate (use 9.8 (m/s)/s ) )

The air drag force in newtons = drag coefficient (use 0.24) * velocity ^2

(velocity is in m/s)

The (constant) rolling resistance force in newtons = m * g * cosine (incline angle ) * rolling resistance coefficient (use 0.03).

Sequence : guess at top speed (in m/s), calculate the for and against forces for that speed, and adjust this guess until its zero.

Suzuki GS150R would be best option.. although u its 66000 on road but its worth it ;)

For a regular frame, being able to sit on the saddle and have both feet on the ground will mean that the saddle is way too low for you to be able to pedal well. It can actually hurt your knees if you were to ride like that for longer distances.

If you do a net search for "bicycle fitting" you will find several tips on how to find a suitable frame. For 5´5 the usual MTB size(26"/559 mm) will work fine.

But unless you're really strapped for cash, get your bike from a bicycle store instead. Department store bikes are usually quite poor in quality, and can be very hard to repair if the break/wear out.

XTC for sure. Weight, spec, price, it can't be beaten. Go out and get one now!

I have an old Starlet hanging up in the basement of the house I'm renting. From what I've learned so far, the Starlets date back to 1952, at least. They were equipped with 2-tone finish in Cloud white with rose trim, or powder blue trim, a chrome "luggage rack", a button-activated horn in the "tank", and a "powerful headlight". I'm hoping to gain possession of the old bike for a restoration project!

you can use a mod from gtagarage.com

James Starley, the son of a farmer, didn't have any formal higher education. He had a natural talent of inventing useful items from a very early age.

The nitrous piston is a lighter bike, so yes you should get it, although if you could find the blank media cheaper I'd get that one.

Helmets - motorcycle helmets, right? - have shells of either fiberglass or Kevlar. The shell uses cloth, resin, hardener and paint. The padding contains polyurethane, which is a "polyol," a diisocyanate and a catalyst plus a blowing agent to turn it into foam. Then there is cloth, polycarbonate for the visor, a little bit of metal...

i heard its good for 12 year olds, i wanted one myself but youll probably soon out grow it

They didn't.

There are several names associated with different stages of the bicycle's development, but Leah and Sarah aren't listed.

No way to tell over the net, as Mongoose Fireball is available in both 20", 24" and 26" versions.

Daniel Dhers rides a bunch of different bike parts but his frame is a KHE

Bicycles aren't considered to have chassis, they have frames. The traditional bike is sometimes referred to as a "diamond" frame, as it's made up of triangular shapes.

After that it's more about bike types than frame types, but I guess you could divide them into rigids, full suspension, recumbents, unicycles, trikes and tandems.

Depends on the type. A regular bottle dynamo will come with an assembly bracket that'll either clamp on to one of the fork legs, or one of the seat stays. Then you just have to wire it up to the light(s).

Bicycle parts are very rarely specific to a certain make & model. Functionally identical replacement parts will be available from almost any bicycle shop.

Means that it still has all the parts and only those parts that the manufacturer put on there. Nothing has been added or replaced.

The Specialized P1 usually comes with Marzocchi forks. For example, the 2012 model comes with Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3's.

either company makes exceptional bikes, but i prefer specialized. If you were talking about specific models, i would be able to recommend one over another. what's your budget, and what type of bike do you want?

Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, probably built the first mechanically propelled bicycle in 1839.

The front shocks are tilted b/c the fork needs to be tilted to let the bike handle comfortably. The rear shocks are tilted to make the travel of the shock match up to the desired travel of the rear wheel.
