    Why do my pedals hit stuff while mountain biking?

    you cant do anything about it except get a good new bike. this used to happen to me when I had a crappy bike, just because it had oittle ground clearence. if youre running a department store bike right now I suggest you go to the bike shop and get at least a 400 dollar bike, It is unsafe to ride...

    What mountain bike would do well for me?

    a trek 3700 is an ok bike but if you broke your old bike you may need something more bombproof as the trek 3700 is a xc bike, than again if your old bike was a crappy department store bike, that is understandable. your bike shop will tell you a good size, but 16 inches is probably good. any bike...

    Which bike is better, a Giant Yukon FX or a Haro Shift R1?

    I would go with the giant because It is a better brand, and I like some of the components a little bit better, like the fork, I have tried that suntour fork and it maxes out easily, especialy when broken in. but they are very close specs, so if your buying them from a shop maybe demo them to see...

    Hard Tail mountain bike vs. Full Suspension Mountain Bike?

    full suspension is much easier to use for down hill but only if youre willing to spend at least 3000. I hear hard tails are better for learning on, you will be fine on smoother trails only in rough rock gardens do you really need a full suspension bike. but if you get good you will probably...

    Bicycle like the Gary Fisher Kaitai?

    no hybrid can do what a mtb can. maybe what you can do is get a 300 mtb and get an additional wheel set with slicks so you could easily switch the tires depending on what you want to do, because a mtb with slicks is just as good as a hybrid is.

    I"m looking at bike forks HELP!?

    the 80mm, 90mm and 100mm measure the amount of travel on a fork, the maximum distance the fork will compress. the amount of travel you need is up to you and what you do. most bikes have a maximum amount of fork travel that they will allow. you can find the max amount your bike will allow usualy...
