Mountain Biking

How do you change

Gears

There are two ways to bunnyhop a bicycle: # Start by pulling a wheelie, then push handlebar forward while simultaneously unloading your feet. That should bring the rear wheel up too. # (works best with clipless pedals) stand up, push down on the pedals to compress the tires. At max compression launch yourself upwards while still holding on to the bike. As the tires bounce back you'll get some help in pulling the bike with you into the air.

Basically, Titanium is stronger. This means that you can use less of it and still end up with a lighter bike that is strong enough to ride.

The new 2011 Yeti DJ frame has an MSRP of 650 U.S. Dollars

The fork Crown is the part where the two fork legs are joined to the steerer tube, the part that goes through the head tube of the frame.

A Marin mountain bike can be bought from Marin's website, which can be contacted by email or phone. It can also be bought at your local sports shop for a fee.

F.R.I.M (Forest Research Institute of Malaysia) has a couple of intermediate tracks.

Bukit Kiara has a various array of track for all capabilities.

T.T.D.I has many track from downhill to XC, for all capabilities too

That depends on how badly you get hurt, and what kind of accident. People have fallen all the way off the mountain and died before. You could also break an ankle or foot pretty easily, or get attacked by a mountain lion.

The best criteria for mountain bikes is to select one which has full-suspension design, although best is a subjective term and the real answer lies with the biker and his/ her preferences.

No.

Some BMX chainrings have the same 4/5 bolt pattern as road bikes, but most use another method of attachment to the crank.

If it is a 4/5 bolt chainring you first have to measure the bolt circle diameter to see how that fits. I'll post a link on that.

Next is the thickness of the chain rings. BMXes are single-speed and use a thicker chain. Most road bikes have external gears and need a thinner, more flexible chain to work. I'm not sure if a road bike chain will fit on a BMX chainring.

(Unless it's a single-speed road bike of course. Then you can run a BMX-style chain and all can be made to work.)

On downhill trails hardtail mountain bikes are harder to control, vice full suspension. So improve your skills by getting a hardtail.

Depends on how you intend to ride it. A streeet bike is meant to be used as a kind of overgrown BMX, with tricks and jumps, it's not really meant to be going places. A MTB, specially one intended for XC(cross-country) use is much better suited for actually covering any kind of distances on it.

A mountain bike is basically a bike meant to be strong enough to be ridden off road. It's overall stronger and has wider tires than other bikes.

The difference is that the mountain bike tube is much burlier and wider than the dirt jump tube but may not be as strong in terms of hard hitting strength.

Yes you can but, depending on your frame, you'd need a shim to get the post to fit your frame.

I have had a GT Talera 21 speed for the last 10 years. My dad bought it for me from my uncle when I was around 14 years old & I am still riding it at 25. I remember he bought it for around $250, when at the time it was only 2 years old & barely used. I have thought about listing it on Craigslist & 11 years later I am guessing I could still get $75 to $100 for it as I have taken excellent care of it. Hope that helps!

It was USD 1 100 when new, around 2001. Today, not much is left. Maybe USD 300 at best.

Honda

I believe it is about 40 ft (vertical drop distance). There is no definitive record. Some people may have gone larger but failed to land it. Look on youtube at Josh Bender whose probably gone the biggest and watch these vids below.

It's a type of riding where all the focus is on the downhill run, which usually have lots of jumps, banked turns and other features. It's often done in ski resorts where riders can take the ski lift up.

Honestly, I think that if you need to ask a general question like that, you'd be better off taking the bike to a reputable shop and having them do it. Or try this http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-Up-a-Bike/step1/Parts/ Good luck!

There's no law that determines how a MTB should look, so particulary child-sized ones may well have pedal brakes.

But if it's an adult-sized one it'd be very rare for it to be pedal braked.

The first hit I get on a net search is a company that make hand buillt titanium frames. If those are the vertigo bikes you are referring to they are likely to be really, really good.

Depends what laptop and what mountain bike and the deals you're getting for them.

If you have a larger bike, as in a bike that is slightly large for you as an xc rider, it is probably not wise to do this conversion.

However, if you have a bike that is slightly on the smaller side for your size range, go for it!


Snappiness and quick handling are at the forefront of this conversion, this will help your maneuverability in tight spots. To do this you will likely need a shorter stem 45-60mm and a bar with between 1-2 inches of rise. In addition to the steering impact of this modification this will also keep you over the center of the bike, keeping you from going over the bars on a sketchy landing.


Next, is drivetrain modifications, here simpler is better. Since you will be enduring big hits, chain-line tightness is of the most importance. Explore chain tensioning options, if keeping gears a front mounted crank tensioner will be best. You will also want to go with a single ring in the front, a 34-36t. This will also likely require a guide to keep your chain form dropping, there are many guide and tensioner combos available.


The final item of importance is tires. This is entirely dependent on the conditions of your regular jumps. If loose/wet go with knobs, if hard packed go with smooth low profile. Here typical rule of thumb is go wider, it will give you more balance and stability on takeoff and landing.


After making these easy modifications, just lower your saddle and have fun!


Hope this was helpful.
