What is a good brand for Mountain Bikes?
Author: admin
I am just starting to get into Mountain biking and I am looking to buy a bike for a reasonable price. I want to buy something used probably off of craigslist or something like that. I am just looking to see which brands are good and which brands I should stay away from.
Look for any good name and one Mongoose is not the same as another one…stay away from dept store ANYTHING! Look for Trek, specialized, Giant, Gary Fisher, Kona, GT…..the list goes on. There are many things to look for when buying used mountain//road bikes as you never know how "honest" the seller is and how well they represent their item for sale. I suggest that since you dont know how to shop for something (to prevent you from getting screwed) you go visit your local shops first and get educated before you start looking and learn some of the ins and outs before you buy something you will regret. Even a brand name off of C-list can be a bad buy! That is a small part of the downside, you might actually score something good though….?

How are Gary Fisher bikes over Kona for mountain bikes?
Author: admin
Im looking at 2 choices for mountain bikes Gary fisher or Kona. I dont know too much about bikes and I want to make the right choice. I ride up in the open space trails. Was on a bad old bike and fell, now I realize I need a good bike if im going to keep it up. Any comments would be great. Thanks
Rosetta, on this, it’s now a black and white answer.
Both brands generary deliver good bikes. Kona bikes will, in my opinion, widstand more abuse than the GF, but that’s just a guess and probably not a concern for you.
What I would look at is geometry and how you feel on both bikes. Gary Fisher has it’s own take on how a geometry should be. For some people, it might feel spot on, but for others not that good.
If I were you, I would try to ride both bikes and see how they feel. I think that both brands can be good options, just try them before deciding on one.
Can’t seem to find a dealer in the UK who sells Drumstix truing forks for mountain bike rotors. Found some sites in the US however can’t seem to find any UK dealers.
Any help is much appreciated.
Paul Morningstar is a very small supplier, and he offers direct sales through him, so many people don’t stock his products anymore except for maybe the Freehub Buddy. I looked for a bit and found the Drumstix at Cambria Bike for $30USD…..you might actually be able to get them for the same UK price by ordering from the states and paying the shipping…..the conversion is that much in your favor!

Park Tools makes a rotor fork, too, and frankly it’s no better or worse than the Morningstar set. If you need more than one, just get a second tool. It’s not often that you need more than one tool (which is why a crescent/adjustable wrench does really well most of the time)….and it’s not often that a rotor with a serious ding that requires two or three tools to straighten out is even still usable anyway. You could buy a spare rotor and a cheap crescent wrench and almost come out ahead.
Chain Reaction carries the Park tool, as I’m sure most places over there do.

Hope this helps….avoid rocks!
