Yes, it all comes back down to the type of riding you do.<br /> <br /> My present bike is thirteen many years old and still going strong. The questions I am about to share with you, are the ones I utilized when researching good mountain bikes for myself. Recently I used the exact same questions to discover a good MTB for my 9 yr old son's birthday. I began researching kids mountain bikes and utilized the exact same questions to help select the correct bike for him. I am pleased to say, the bike is a ideal fit for him and has renewed his adore of bike riding.<br /> <br /> So how do you go about choosing the correct bike? Merely by asking a series of concerns created help you select the greatest bike for you.<br /> <br /> What is your riding expertise? <br /> What is the age and height is the bike rider? <br /> Is the bike going to be utilized for commuting or cross-nation riding? <br /> Is the bike going to be used for mountain cruising? <br /> Is the bike going to be used for rocky trails? <br /> Is the bike going to be used for rugged downhill tracks? <br /> Is the bike going to be used for jumping and aerial tricks?<br /> <br /> The kind of riding you intend to undertake will significantly influence the type and bike configuration. Even though most mountain bikes look similar, there is a huge difference in frame types, steering geometry, suspension, gearing as well as the wheels, brakes and tyres.<br /> <br /> As a rule of thumb, a beginner rider will greatest be served by a recreational cross nation bike. If you intend to do a great deal of riding on pavement and off-street, choose a model with good front suspension, no rear suspension (hardtail) as they have the greatest efficiency and comfort. If you intend to do more off-road riding, a full suspension frame is greatest.<br /> <br /> If you intend to use it solely off-road and mainly over rough terrain appear for a higher end complete suspension model as these will have a greater variety of suspension travel and a heavier more robust frame and brakes. This will assist with the comfort and stability of your ride.<br /> <br /> Downhill MTB's should be extremely heavy duty in style and have lower, looser steering geometry. These style changes make the bike much more responsive at fast speeds down steep slopes these bikes are created for the much more skilled rider.<br /> <br /> Depending on the type of riding you want to undertake the following is a checklist of good MTB brands which I have discovered to be great quality and great value for money. They are Giant, Diamondback, Kona, Trek, Norco, Schwinn, Mongoose and GT brand bikes.<br /> <br /> The final thing you require to determine is, do you want great, or do you want cheap. The words &quot;great&quot; and &quot;cheap&quot; are not synonymous, nor are great bikes generally found in discount department stores.<br /> <br /> Whilst studying Children mountain bikes, I uncover a renewed passion for the sport as each my sons now have [http://bicyclehombre.com mountain bikes]. We purchased a 21 speed - 24 inch &quot;GT Stomper&quot; for my 9 yr old son whilst my eleven yr old son rides a five yr old, 7 speed - 20 inch Schwinn.<br /> <br /> My eleven yr old does nicely to keep up with us on our larger and faster bikes. His bike is much more agile over jumps and tight tracks. He now wants to upgrade to a larger 26&quot; bike. Due to his age and height, frame choice is critical as he is going via rapid development spurts. He is presently just that little as well brief for a medium frame dimension. We are waiting till his subsequent birthday before choosing a great mountain bike with a bigger frame size that he will not outgrow too rapidly.<br /> <br /> I must commend my son as he has learnt that there is a distinction between a inexpensive bike, a great bike and a reasonable bike. We said we would appear at a GT aggressor, a affordable bike, great for its cost variety however, he has his eyes on the Mongoose Tyax Comp or if he can stretch his savings a GT Avalanche one.</div> Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:53:16 GMT GreeleyNickell44 http://beta.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:GreeleyNickell44
