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.

Used mountain bikes

Used mountain bikes

Today in the current financial situation you can find awesome deals on used mountain bikes and especially here at mountain bikes review, its unbelievable what kind of bikes can you buy and for such a ridicules price. I guess its because some people truly need money and that’s why they are selling their almost brand new, well equipped mountain bikes and that’s your chance to get yourself one of those.

Some of the things you need to pay attention to and ask yourself or the seller when buying used mountain bikes are how often did the previous owner ride the bikes and where and whether they were the only rider or did many people rode it. You can also ask if the bikes were maintained properly and in what frequency.

When you take a look on the mountain bikes make sure you are checking if the chain rings and sprocket teeth sharp or rounded – if they are still rounded you got yourself a great deal. Sharp teeth usually mean that these bikes are worn out but you can mention it to the seller and sometimes you’ll get such a great price that it will be cheaper to buy new ones and replace the old. Another important thing to look at is are the wheels straight or not, again if you pay attention to it you will get a discount that will help you buy new wheels. Also be sure to ask about the gears and how quick can you change them or is it hard to change the gears and do they slip when you press the pedals too hard? The last thing I usually look for is cracks in the frame at the bottom or next to the head tube area – these parts take most of the action and they must be able to hold it.

Because of all these questions my favorite place to shop for used mountain bikes is eBay, with eBay I know that they are looking out for me and I can just put my energy in finding the right bikes for the best price.

Used street bikes for sale

Used street bikes for sale

Used street bikes is a raising trend and thats why we decided to write about it at mountain bikes review. The current economical situation brings more and more people to look for used street bikes for sale because of two main reasons: The first one is that its cheaper, healthier and much cooler to drive on bikes instead of cars. Now with all those small bike parking lots that lets you park your bikes, change clothes and take a shower before you go to your office its even more easy and convenient to drive your bikes to work. The second reason is that you don’t need to invest so much money in new street bikes when you can get the same bikes in a very good condition for much much less. Many people today need money and so they sell their used street bikes even if the bikes are in a very good condition.

So what do you need to pay attention to when you buy used bikes: you must check the frame which is the most important part of the bikes – does it look ok? Is it broken in different places? Is the paint new or old? That will give you an indication if the previous owner took good care of his bikes or not. If he did then the used street bikes can be even in a better condition than the old ones since that owner probably repaired damages that were created by the manufacture. Some owners even add cool and great gadgets to their bikes with the years and you can enjoy all of these advantages.

You must also make sure that you can trust the seller, you can ask a few questions about the bikes to see if they are right for you or not. I personally prefer to shop for used street bikes at eBay, that how I know that I am completely covered and have nothing to worry about besides finding the right bikes for the best price.

What are the hardware differences between hybrid and mountain bicycles?

How feasible is it to go from mountain (fat tire) to hybrid (thin low drag tire) functions? Can I just change the wheels or is it more involved?

Where is the cheapest place in Edinburgh to buy mountain bike tyers?

Where is the cheapest place in Edinburgh to buy mountain bike tyers (size 26 x 2.00) and can I put wider tyers on the the original wheels?
ie 2.75 rather than 2.00

Thanks in advance
Hey guys The Edinburgh Bicycle shop was superb, i got two new tyers (specialized "flack jacket) for £10 a piece, I was advised to stick with the original size of tyre as I would mainly be riding on road.

The bike is a "Huffy", it was given to me by a friend, so I dont know much about the bike, it seems to be an american bike but I noticed the wheels were made in germany. I think there is a slight buckel in the rear wheel I was thinking of taking it to "Grate kes, No Bull" in Leith walk to hae it repaird or get a second hand wheel.

I have an option to buy a 10 year old but well cared for cromoly framed Marin mtb with upgraded wheels and brakes and front suspension, or a brand new lower end Trek also hardtail but aluminum frame. There is also a Devinci hardtail aluminum frame for about 100 dollars more. Which should I choose?
