I’m 6’4" and I’d like to get a mountain bike.
Just wondering what kind of bike would be good for someone my size.
Recommend a mountain bike for a tall person?
Do you think this is a good deal for a bike?

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.

I'm thinking about modifying my 1999 F150 with a dually from a F350?
I have a 1999 Ford F150 Ext Cab 8 foot box 4×4 with the 5.4L Triton V8 engine (Piece of crap engine at best. had to replace 3 fuel pumps in it) and i want to add a dually axle to it with dual exhaust stacks. I know that I’ll have to take off the box from the truck to add the dually, replace the U-bolts. As far as I know that is all I have to do to do this project. I am also adding 4" dual stacks from the heads which i can figure out how to do. But what else am I missing to add the dually? From a few kids at my school who lift their trucks say that all i need to do is the U-bolts, get a different box or custom fab one, but would i have to get different suspension for the rear end?
A few people i know say that the truck would look more sick looking with the stacks and dually. All i want to know what else do i need to do for the dually, and not criticism.
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!

Chevy 1500 or F250 for a plow truck?
I’ve been needing a vehicle of my own now for almost 2 years. Just got my license in 2009 and still havent had a truck of my own. Now i dont care about the emissions control the Gov’t is ordering and i hated the Obama admin for the Cash for Clunkers (Biggest waste of time and money ever!!!) and i dont care about fuel economy. The Chevy 1500 has i believe a Western 6′ plow. Its straight piped, dual exhaust, carburated, its a 1988 4×4 ext cab short bed. The F250 has a Western 6’6" or 7′ i dont remember. Its 4×4 standard cab (3 man cab) 8′ box with a Tommy lift gate. The hubs on it were just replaced. The rear gas tank needs some work or possibly the transfer switch needs to be replaced.
Reason why im asking is my friend is trying to sell me the 1500 but i just don’t trust him do to personal issues. The F250 was and still is used at my dad’s work. The company that he works for kinda doesn’t need it anymore. The problem i have with the 1500 is its dual exhaust straight pipe. I would have to fork over like for mufflers. The transmission was just replaced in it since the plow jockey that used it didnt come to a complete stops before jamming the tranny in reverse consequently destroying the gears. Another thing is since its a lighter truck and with light suspension im thinking the suspension could be really worn down.
The F250 has only like 47,000 miles on it its a 1994 with the 351 Windsor V8. The truck has had a rough life. The body has some rust on it.

What size mountain bike would I need?
I’m almost 6’5" and wanting to get a mountain bike but I’m not sure what size fram and tires I should be looking for. What do you suggest?
2008 dodge ram 1500 2wd single cab v6 – lift kit?
what is the best option that i have to buy at least a 7" suspension lift for this truck? i would like to have 35" tires. but, if you know of a way to get up to a 12" lift with 39" tires let me know. i know that cts offers a 7" suspension performance lift that will fit 35" tires, but i’m just looking for more options.
also, i’m looking for a good exhaust system. i want a true dual exhuast.
i’m just hoping that you could tell me a few good websites for suspension lifts, tires and wheels and exhaust…
thank you.
