What is the best all-around mountain bike for beginners?

I’m looking to pay around 0-0 used for a good mountain bike for my husband. He’s 6’1. What mountain bike would you recommend? And what size frame? I’d like disc brakes and as lightweight as possible for that price.

Do you think this is a good deal for a bike?

http://answers.canadiantire.ca/answers/9045/product/0711637P/no-kranked-silver-mountain-bike-questions-answers/questions.htm

My bike is similar to this one. It’s made by Kranked. It’s got thick 26" tires (I think they’re 2.10"), disc brakes, dual suspension and 24 speeds (the one from the webpage only has 7).

The only issues I have with my bike is the back tire. The bearings are slightly loose so the tire rubs against the forks every time I pedal (seems to me that the chain pulls the tire to the side so it rubs). The gears shift good except when I shift into 1st gear. Sometimes the cable will jam and I’ll be stuck on first gear unless I shift up a few gears and wiggle the derailleur so it moves over to the corresponding gear. I have to keep the left gear shift on the 2nd ring if I want to shift the right gear shift into 1 or 2. So typically I have to keep the gear shifts on 2/3 (left shift on 2, right shift on 3).

If I shift into 1/1 (first ring, first gear) the chain will lock up the back tire since it gets caught in between the fork and the tire. I can keep the gears shifted on the first ring as long as the right shift is on 3 or higher.

Other than that, I use the bike to get to and from school and to and from work. The disc brakes are great, and have a lot of stopping power (if you want to call it that lol).

So now my question is, do you think this bike was worth the I paid for it? Or do you think this was a good deal? Because the bike works great if I keep it the gears shifted on 2/3 (remember, second ring, third gear) and other than the tire rubbing (it can be fixed by replacing the rim) there’s nothing wrong with it. The bike is in really good condition.

What to look out for when buying a bicycle?

I am looking to buy a bicycle, i am a kid, 17 years old, who has gained a little bit of excess poundage. I just want a bike, that I can use comfortably to do low impact cardiovascular training, I would look to just go for 30 minute rides every day around my area. What do i need for this? Full suspension, front suspension, I have NO idea… and also, I am looking to get one, with at least dual disc brakes, for approximately £150. I am 5ft 11, so im assuming an adult bike, like 26" would suffice? Please provide LOTS of detail!! Thank you!

I know the Dr-z125 can go about 50mph stock while the blaster does 55mph stock, I don’t care for that. But what would hit 50 first going in a straight line

What Bike Should I Choose?

I am wanting to start biking. I would like to go into wooded trails, and mountains upnorth. I dont want to spend a whole lot of money, I just want a bike that would fit what im doing, and to last a while. I want disc brakes, and at least 18 gears, and dual suspension, if possible. What bike company should I go with that has the best bike for your buck?

how do you adjust your disc brakes on mountain bike?

i just recently bought this mountain bike and it is working good but the disc brakes need a bit of adjusting i think. this is the first time i got disc brake bikes and don’t know much about them. the problem is that the brake pads have contact with the disc or the rotor when i spin the wheel. it doesn’t spin freely and spin slow. also i checked that the disc is a bit to the left in the caliper. i tried to loosen but it didn’t even move. can you guys help me or possibly give me a guide?

thankyou.
