I just bought a giant talon 1 M 29er a week and a half ago and it survived a t bone by a car at 10-15 mph and dragged the bike and me for half a block they paid for the damages on my bike due to the front wheel being bent into an S and it’s my only mode of transportation so I didn’t persue any insurance for physical injury because I was hit by a teenager and I think her hitting me traumatized her enough and again they paid for the maintenance and parts to make it good as new I gave them a hug thanked them for stopping and helping me and told them I suffered worse on the trail

bNeed some help with my first MTB I'm willing to pay up to $1400/bbrbrI'm a very athletic person who learn fast I've done lots of parkour (pro), climbing (7A+), and similar things brI like biking, but I haven't really tried mountain biking, for real - I like to drive off-road and have done lots of that One thing I'm sure of is that I am going to like this sport, so here's my question:brWhat bike do you recommend to someone like me? (I don't think that a beginners bike will hold, considering ^)

how easy is it to change from rim brakes to disc brakes?
Comment from : Colby Heinz

phew lol! I nailed all of them without even knowing! I got a friend who is way more knowledgable to help me choose one! Settled for a BMC Team Elite TE03! Did some minor upgrades/maintenance/service and it's up and running properly! I don't have many crazy downhill trails nearby and there is a lot of climbing, so I feel awesome on it! Just took the craziest descent ever on a really rough/rocky terrain and it felt sooo good :) I'm pretty used to the bike by now and had the confidence to let it roll, and roll it did Pretty awesome bike for a semi-beginner biker for my riding, and way better than what I've ridden before so I feel much more confident

Need recommendation, I'm 74 year guy, been mountain biking for about 25 years I'm looking for a "Plush Ride" bike, meaning my 74 year body needs some help with absorbing shock on the trail I'm looking at full suspension with emphasis on a good front fork to help absorb the impact to my arms, neck, upper body I'm looking at entry level bikes in the $1500-$2000 range

Comment from : Siddharth Sivakumar

What do you think about the cannondale trail 5 bike? It's a earlier 2000 model with the rst blaze fork Picked it up for 12500, has the 3 cogs in front What's the best upgrades for it? Thank you
Comment from : Eddy Dubois

Do you think that the head tube angle of 695 on the gen 2 trek Marlin 6 is to much for a starter bike? I want to progress towards jumps and down hill riding
Comment from : Daniel Philbrook

Im confused @2:00 Isn't that a removable derailleur hanger? What is the issue with that one?
Comment from : Tim Evans

Comment from : ghost man scores

I'm so happy you understand what people mean by budget I just watched a 'budget bike' video about a 1300$ bike I understand MTBs and how gnarly it can get but I feel like that's just out of touch with everyday people looking at getting into the hobby Thank you Edfit - Just saw this video was 5 years old lmao Chance on doing an update on decent bikes in the sub 1000$ range? I'm certain tons of people would consider that entry level

Comment from : Lydia Mourningstar

Hello Been watching your channel for a while I have been into bicycles for practically as long as I have been walking Thou, it has been a while since I've been on a bike I got a career as a truck driver and was gone a lot Recently I have a job that I am home every day I've been wanting to get back into shape I got out my Trex 820 and cleaned it up I bought it new from a legit bike shop Also I scored a bike from a garage that someone painted all black with grey splatters of paint And I mean they painted everything But it was only $20 and it had disc brakes Just a few things that made me think it was a better bike than it looked I brought it home and took some steel wool to it It turned out to be a Diamondback Overdrive After I stripped some paint off, it doesn't even look too bad And just took it out and it rides great Thanks for the entertaining content!!!

Comment from : Rc_madness

Thanks for the concise information Someone looking for a good bike doesn't necessarily want to drop the equivalent of rent for something good They also don't want to get something so cheap it breaks fast Good video! 👍
Comment from : Resident Gin

Well , did I get lucky, so I think I got my son a giant talon 4, $75, maybe 2 years old,came with 3 other crappy one And was wondering what could be change on it to make it better Thinking of switching it to 1 by in front to start What’s a goo option ?
Comment from : raphael bussy

Comment from : Ismael Naja

Hey guys, fresh subscriber here and loving the content thus far I've been looking into Mountain Biking (Former BMX rider) and I was just curious if this video still holds up? An updated video maybe with specific budget bikes rather than features/specs would be more than helpful and appreciated for a new rider Big thanks and hope this comment gets seen

Comment from : Insert cool name here1

I hear you about derailers that attach direct to the frame not being good I recently restored a 70s raeligh bike with the same derailer I changed gear and when I went back down again the derailer bent up and round and totaled the frame that bike was a real fresh restoration paint chrome the lot
Comment from : Jamiee Edden

Please make an updated 2022 version considering the current bike market :'( brA good, new, sub $400 bike is practically a dream
Comment from : Nikolas Escuza

Excellent brGood advice and details to check Much better than a model recommendation
Comment from : phezter

Diamondback is available in my country, but it's one of the bargain bin brands, the components are cheap trash They used to make good BMX's, but I've never seen a Diamondback MTB with those specs as standard I have a £600 Voodoo that is only slightly better (hydraulic brakes, and the exact Suntour forks you showed in the conclusion)
Comment from : Jase

I brought into the hype of some yt videos and brought a fat bike for 600aud Biggest pos I'd ever ridden Frame flexed a lot with hard peddling wheels didn't sit straight, cassette was so far offset that peddling up a hill folded the front sprocket Worst of all it was crazy inefficient, like, went for a ride with someone 30years older and way less fit had a heart rate of 70 while I was falling minutes behind sitting at 165 Really took the fun out of ridingbrI want to give it another go but I can't bring myself to buy budget again but can't justify dropping thousands on something I might not really get into
Comment from : Eezees Emporium

How many lbs
Comment from : dilzila1

I just found this video and I want to say thanks for not bashing people who have lower bikesI got a Schwinn Al Comp a few weeks ago and I love it I am 53 and only want to go over flowy trails that are smooth but a bit hilly and flat trail and I love this bike It has a tapper headtube and is completely upgradeable no some people might look at that as a disadvantage ectand I understand that But I want to learn to work on bikes when I was a child I remeber losing my dads toolsmy mom said it was because i used them to take things apartI don't remember the taking things apart but I do remember getting in trouble for losing dad's toolsbut moms are rightanyway it is in my blood to use tools and I love itupgrading this bike will teach me how to work on bikes and enjoy itit is a tool for not only having fun on trails but to know how to help people fix their bikes
Comment from : Piper Moonshine

I just bought a Cube Aim 2022 for 489 euro i like to bike long routes though medium terrain, so i think that should be the right fit, correctly sized, disc brakes, and mostly shimano parts
Comment from : Roger Elzenga

What dimdback shod I get seth
Comment from : Michael Paxman

In the end he was talking about buying a super expensive bike, it got me! My diamondback 5C has a quick release lever and still find them reliable! Upgrading suspension immensely improved my confidence, and my drivetrain keeps my shifting clean I’d say start small, but if you do start with a nice bike, that’s not a bad thing! (Also don’t let what your friends and/or siblings say to you make you doubt your choices)
Comment from : Da Homies

I've been shopping used for weeks and have seen only ONE BIKE with a quick release idk why every cycling youtuber insists that they're super common lol

Does the type of cogs(freewheel/cassette) matter?
Comment from : Aaron Ho

I've been bicycling since the '80s but I'm just now getting the courage to try out mountain biking For my first bike I found a great deal on an NOS 2017 Mongoose Salvo Expert It's probably more bike than I need since I probably won't make it past the bunny trails But its a solid bike with good quality components All I could use now is a dropper postand bandaids
