Mountain biking has become more popular over the years. More Bikes are available to buy in the shops or in online stores and the choice can be incredible. However, buying can be tricky because there are so many things to consider....
Buying a Mountain Bike is dependent on what you are searching for is the bike for a child or an adult? If its for a child then you need to make sure that the bike is of proper frame size, and not so big so that the child's feet cannot touch the ground.
A frame is different too if its for a girl or a boy, because male riders has a slightly different shape to the female rider.
Here are some factors to look for while you decide which bike to buy...
1. The Frame Size
2. How many gears do you need?
3. Is the seat comfortable?
4. The Price of the bike
5. Where you are going to use the bike off road or on the road.
After completion of this article you will be able to understand which mountain bike to buy and to guide you to make the right decision when you make the purchase.
Frame size is critical when your buying a mountain bike, because if its too big then it can be dangerous as you can lose control of the bike if you need to make a emergency stop and its less stable. You will need to find a frame which suits the person's height and adjusted accordingly.
Type of gearing is important too, especially if you intend to ride a lot, or just around town. If you only ride occasionally in the town then you will not need so many gears compared to someone who rides professionally or in the mountains.
There is nothing worse than getting a sore bottom is there? Well that's when the careful selection of having the proper and comfortable seat is crucial when you are buying a mountain bike. Too hard and you will get sore, but softer is best especially for the female rider.
In the increasing need to save money the price of the bike you buy will be crucial to most people. Some bikes can cost over £100 / $150 and even up to $300 or more. More bikes are available now and can be bought online for a fair price and these can be of a very good quality and reasonably cheap.
Another issue to consider if of course where are you going to use the bike is it for off road trailing or just for town use. Either way it can be crucial because trailing bikes are generally stronger and lighter than the less professional bikes which are generally used around town.
When you decide what to consider when you look for a bike, then all the factors above are of equal importance. One other key concern would be safety and to make sure you wear a helmet when you decide to buy the bike.
In concluding, the main points above has demonstrated what should be considered when you are thinking of buying a new or second hand bike. All these points should be considered and thought about before buying a mountain bike but the most important point would be the price of the bike, as most people would like to buy a bike which will last for years rather than months.
Thanks for letting me write for you. I hope I can write again soon.
