Used sport bikes

If you are looking to buy used sport bikes – you are a wise person but it can also be said because you came to visit mountain bikes review :) . In our current economy you can find really good deals and prices on almost brand new sport bikes that people are selling because they need the money. If you know what kind of bikes you need and whats your budget - you are almost set to go. You just need to know what to look into when buying used sport bikes and how to find the best deal.

The main things to look at are the frame – you want to make sure that there are no cracks anywhere on the frame, if its repainted then it’s a good sign since it means that the person that is selling you the bikes took a real good care of them. You can even ask him how did he maintained and serviced his bikes and what parts did he replace during the time he had them. Another thing you want to check is the wheels, you must make sure that they are straight ad if the bikes come with gears you also want to make sure that its easy to change the gears and that you wont have to fight them every time you drive the bikes. The chain is another important part of the bikes and the teeth must be rounded, if they are too sharp it means that the bikes are a bit worn out and that you’ll need to replace the chain sometime in the near future. In this case you can negotiate with the seller and cut the price even lower and at the same budget buy the bikes and a new chain.

All in all buying used sport bikes is a wise thing to do and I am truly happy for you. If you don’t want to deal with all the techy stuff and you just want to find a good looking bikes for a good price and let someone else make sure that you are buying a good pair of bikes then I suggest that you’ll head to eBay where you can be certain that you are buying from a trusty place.

i have a Mongoose mountain bike. i have the origional brakes with the two brake pads on both sides on the front and back tires. i want disk brakes now. do you know how much and where i could get them?

I got a Trek 8000 Police bike in a government auction. The only thing it needs is new tires and tubes. Tire size is 26 x 2.1 and I can get them at Wal-Mart but the tubes are unlike anything I've seen before. The valve stem is half the size of a regular stem and it has some sort of thing blocking where the air goes in. Wal-Mart only had the regular tubes so should I just drill the hole in the wheel to fit a regular tube or look elsewhere?

Whenenver i pump my tire, it still seems flat so i tihnk there is a hole on my tires

how do i replace the tires? do i go to walmart or somewhere to replace it or what

What size of Mountain bike tires, widthways, can you get, ascending order?

I am putting road tires on this bike, As I plan on riding on pavement and bike paths exclusively...I figured a 16 is better for control + stability (As in off road riding)...While a 18 inch would be a little better for the path...I plan on only road riding, So I think I should go for a 18.....Any advices ????

I am looking for a new pair of mountain bike tires and I would like them to be green I have searched all over th internet and can not find any yet! I thought Michelin would have some but cant seem to find them. If anybody finds some please send me the link.

- red would be fine too I guess, green would look better
- aggressive would be ideal

Thank You

I got mine a Wal-Mart. Feel good about it. But tires a little thin on road bike thinner than most road bikes and skid out a little when turning. Also why do I always need to adjust handlebars by rotating? Also why usually need to raise handlebars also? Why don't they just make them rotated?

But I noticed that the valve is not the typical one that Im used to seeing. It is much smaller and has some type of extra piece on it.

How can I pump these tires up?
