Does anyone know any good autobike or gear less mountainbike models? |
|
My sis got a autobike mountain
bike but I saw no make or
model on it. I like the idea
of not having to shift gears
so I looking for an affordable
bicycle that either automatic
or gear less and I want
something rugged like a
mountain bike. Dirt bikes are
great but I feel like a little
kid riding one. Any
suggestions? |
 |
Um, I would strongly suggest
that you avoid any bikes with
the auto-shifting feature.
They are notorious for having
frequent problems and if they
break it is almost impossible
to get parts. They are also
not "rugged" and will not take
much-if any- abuse.
Here's what to do... go to a
local bike shop and talk with
them about an all-terrain
bicycle. They start in price
about $250 and are sufficient
for riding on the road and
offroad on groomed trails.
They typically have 21 gears
which are EASY to shift and
are much lighter than any
autobike I have ever seen.
Some brands to consider are
Diamondback, Raleigh, Jamis,
Fuji, and KHS. In your price
range, stay away from Trek,
Specialized, and Cannondale.
The good thing about going to
a shop is that you are
actually fitted to the correct
sized bike and it usually
comes with a modicum of
service. Don't fall for the
idea that bike shops are just
for people that have big money
to spend... it just isn't
true. |

21 Gear mountain bike, and thechain is slipping when toomuch pressure is placed uponthe pedals, ideas? |
|
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? |
|
You don't remove links to
solve chain stretch, period.
You replace the chain.
Removing links doesn't solve
the stretch condition.
Check your derailleur
adjustment. Check your chain
for a twisted link. It will
actually look like the front
chain wheel is bent as the
twisted part of the chain goes
past as you turn the crank by
hand with the rear wheel off
the ground. Pedaling it fast
will make it fall off, the
same as under load.
Here is a link that will help
you with your diagnosis.

How do i use a 18 speed gearmountain bike? |
|
just got a mountain bike it
has 18 gears but not sure how
to use it here is a link of
the picture of the bike
http://bigw.com.au/sport/bikes
.html and the bike you need to
look at is the Boys |
|
There is a left and a right
side of the handle bar twist
shifters on that bike. The
left side controls the front
derailleur, the right controls
the rear. Twisting that part
of the grip changes the gear.
It moves the derailleur by
cables. The derailleur is the
mechanism that moves the chain
from gear to gear. Only shift
when you are pedaling. If you
are not pedaling it won't
shift.
When you shift: The big gear
on the back is easier to
pedal, the small gear on the
front is easier to pedal. The
small gear on the back is
harder to pedal, and the big
gear on the front is harder
too. Only shift when you are
pedaling.
The idea is a lower gear
(larger back, smaller front)
is for when you need power.
Like to start out or up hills.
You will pedal faster and not
go as fast. You should shift
into the higher gear (smaller
back and larger front) when
you are going down hill or
cruising.
Get out and ride. A little
practice and you will have the
hang of it. Shifting and
riding becomes second nature
after a bit. |
