I have a fairly cheapish mountain bike, recently I have found that when too much pedal force is excerpted, the chain seems to rise up and off of the front largest pedal gear sprockets.
Do I need to remove a link or two from the bike chain because the chain may have become stretched over time?
Or do I need to adjust the derailleur thus to increase chain tension?
i want to ride through woods ,hill riding accross canal paths. long distance riding. any ideas?

mid life time. i have now reached that time in life where i want to do things i could not afford to do before. so i have picked mountain biking. So which bike? the four to choose from bearing in mine that i would like to do the Mountain Mayhem in 2008. Trex, specialized, Orange or Marin £1500-2000 to play with and one year to get fit, aslo looking to upgrade the bike as i go.
I will be using the bike for general cycling and some off-roading, but nothing overly extreme, hence why I am only looking at entry level bikes.
Which of the following would be the best choice, in terms of my needs and the quality of the components used and the weight of the bike - I am also after the lightest model, so if any biking experts know which of the below brands makes the lightest frames, please advise! Thanks.

I've ridden Bedgebury singletrack a few times and am looking for something similar, being fairly new to it I'm not yet ready for jumps and drop offs etc, more speed and technical riding off road etc.
travelling with own car and own bikes, looking for intermediate level off road stuff, any tips

...have a regular crappy moutain bike and go on beach tracks near my home. However, I would like to join a club and start doing some more tricky and challenging tracks. Do you need a certain type of bike before you can join a club?
My boyfriend used to have one but he wore it so much it fell to pieces! So I'm looking to find one to replace it. Thanks.
I want to get my boyfriend a mountain biking magazine subscription for Christmas and was wondering which one to go for, MBR or Mountain Biking UK. Any opinions would be gratefully recieved
also can you just turn up to a campsite without booking, and what is the average price of a list pass,s it the same as winter prices?
why is DH mountain biking not in the olympics. is it because the brits are too good. It cannot be its not a popular event. If anyone has ever been to a world champ event, it's packed full.
no i think you were watching the womens XC
Im going on holiday to Boston in a few weeks time and im really into the freeride mountain biking scene. If anyone knows of any really cool mountain biking shops that would sell arm/elbow protection armour (preferably Race Face), then would you be able to provide with the name of the shop and the details of the location. Alternatively, if there are any good mountain biking shops in New York, then I would be happy if anyone can tell me about them as I will be flying home from JFK airport.
Thanks

I know you would probably say, just get a bike and get out riding! But it would be so much more fun to get into the sports with some sort of club or society, plus I can really do with some advice in choosing my first mountain bike on a budget. Any information/advice would be appreciated. Btw, I am located in West Yorkshire. Many thanks in advance!
I love mountain biking and im ready to start competing. Any ideas which are the best clubs to start 'newbie' racing? Thanks
