If you are into mountain biking in anyway you will understand how important it is to have the correct mountain bike frame. This will be determined by the sort of biking you will be doing. If you are going off road you will need a bike with more suspension than one if you are just riding on the road.
Your mountain bike frame will also by determined by whether you are male or female. Lady's bikes will have a different frame than male ones. You can tell the difference because the female one has a lower bar.
It is important that you get a mountain bike frame that is the right size for you. So many times I have seen people riding the wrong sized bike and this is bad for them. I see it all the time... adults that are on bikes that are too small and children that are on bikes that are too big.
You should really check the size of the frame size before you buy it. The easiest way of doing that is by sitting on it. This doesn't prevent you from buying men's or lady's bikes online as you could try one in a shop, establish the size and then order it.
When you sit on the seat have one foot on the floor and the other one on pedal. Move the pedal around so that it is on the lowest point of the cycle. If your leg is almost straight then it is the right size, if not just adjust the seat slightly. If you can't get in a comfortable position you will need to try other mountain bike frames.
Once you have purchased you bike make sure that you perform regular maintenance on it. If you fail to do this then it could be unfit for the road. It is important that you check the tire pressure, the brakes and oil the chain at regular intervals.

Review of Mastering Mountain Bike Skills
Product Description
Mastering Mountain Bike Skills is the expert guide for riders who want to step up their game in any venue of the sport.
The advanced, detailed instruction in Mastering Mountain Bike Skills will improve your riding in every style including cross country, free riding, downhill, dirt jumping, mountain cross, and urban terrain.
With top pro mountain biker Brian Lopes as your teacher, you’ll learn how to handle the bike better than ever, in any conditions, across all types of terrain. Key tips and special photo sequences throughout the book add insight to Lopes’ world-class instruction, proven skills, and technical know-how.
Review
Mastering Mountain Bike Skills describes itself as for anyone who wants to ride better, faster, or more confidently. It helps you master the skills to all types of terrain in almost any type of situation: cross country, freeriding, downhill, dirt jumping, bikercross, urban terrain, and even skate parks.
The book is well-organized and the topics flow well. Chapters cover bike selection and setup, balance, position, pedalling, pumping terrain for speed, braking, cornering, wheelies and hops, drops, jumping, speed lines, and racing.
With over 100 colour photos and diagrams of specific maneuvers and adjustments, the authors illustrate the important, yet often overlooked, subtleties of the techniques presented.
The book attempts to detail principles for beginners and experts alike, and overall does a great job.
A glossary would help. Authors and editors often forget that not everyone knows the meaning of the jargon words-such as rail and carve. Even if explained at first usage, a glossary of mountain biking terms would improve the book.
I read this book straight through, but it's one you'll want to keep out and refer to often as you ride, develop, and practice skills. There are great tips and tricks for people at all levels of skill and experience.
Verdict
This is one of the best books ever published on acquiring mountain biking skills, and contains great information about mountain biking skills, from one of the most skilled riders who has every lived. If you are a mountain biker, get this book-even if only to look at the pictures.

I want to single speed my mtb but I need help deciding the number of teeths?
Is it true that the more teeth on the cog and chain ring, the faster the bike goes when I pedal?
Thanks
Felix, I believe you are talking about chain "wrap" . It is true. The more teeth that are engaged by the chain at any time is more effective overall. So using a chainring and sprocket that are both bigger (having more teeth on both pieces) would be more efficient. You have to figure out the gear-inches of the 39x16 and try to reproduce that same general number but with a bigger chainring and the right size cog. It's a lot of work and the actual gain in speed will probably be unnoticeable. Leave it alone and practice running up stairs two at a time and skipping rope 'till you drop... to get more speed on your bike.
The Calm Before The Storm
After a clear night sky scattered with stars like dust the massed throng of Gore Bike Wear TransWales riders prepared for their second day in the saddle. And what a day: wall to wall sunshine and blue skies, dry trails, crystal views over the patchwork landscape of mid-Wales and some epic riding.
Thanks for visiting!
