Am i too big to ride a normal mountain bike?

I am 6’5 265lbs but not fat, i am very active and love sports but i have gained about 20lbs these last couple years and i tried to ride my friends mountain bike and it felt like i was going to rip the tires off the frames when i turned. Are there special bike tires/frames for large people that are reasonably priced? I would just be riding like once a week with my friend.

ReallyBumpy Dode Ram 1500?

Hi, i have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, i am having problems with the front end every time i hit any kind of bump it shimmies Hard and tends to wonder. Now the truck does have a 2 inch leveling kit in the front with Stock suspension all around and 33 inch tires i got an alignment and a new tie rod. but the truck still seems to have a mind of its own, the bigger the bump i hit the less control i have over the truck, i know its got a small lift (leveling kit) and over sized tires but it should not be this rough, what do i need to do ? longer shocks? dual steering stabilizer? Please Help! Thank you

What do you think about this truck?

I am buying a 78 chevy short bed. I want to re-do it. I’d like to paint it pink, black, and white-grey camo. I have seen people paint their trucks camo with spray paint but i’m not sure how to go about that? Anyways, I also want 8” suspension lift and 3” body lift. 35” tires. I am going to put in PYLE 7200 watt dual car subs/amplifier. I also want to install a straight pipe to make it loud. By what i’ve told yall what do you think about it? I want the truck to look tough but a little girly at the same time. Thanks yall for your advice. I just want it to be big, loud and tough =]

What is my 1977 GMC Midas RV worth?

I have a 1977 GMC Midas 454 Class A Motorhome. It has dual axel in the rear, 6 brand new tires on it. The rear shocks and front suspension have been redone/replaced. It has a working A/C unit, fridge, stovetop, microwave, oven, sleeps 6. It has around 65,000 original miles. It has a full side vinyl awning. All holding tanks work, and it has a DC/12v converter. Everything works good. Brand new radiator (00 prototype radiator from a race car). Has a spare tire on the rear. The only negative thing about it, is it’s age, and the color of the carpet (70′s shag orange and black carpet)

What do you think this is worth, or what would you pay for it?
I’m pretty sure its 32 ft. and the original generator isnt included, but a portable generator instead.

10-12 mountain bike miles on technical single track equals how many miles on the road?

Im looking to ride the livestrong challenge this weekend, 10 miles seems to short but I’m not sure if I could make it to the next step up which is 45 miles. If I currently am comfortably riding 10-12 miles a couple times a week of local singletrack on my mountain bike(I could probably ride a few more miles than this but this is the length of my average ride). If I put some commuter road tires on my mountain bike is the 45 miles doable in my current condition?

What’s the narrowest tires I can get for this bike?

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.
