My son has to choose between them and if he chooses mountain biking, he’ll have to sell his old road bike, which he loves. Is there a way to trasform a Felt road bike into a mountain bike?

I have a mountain bike that has front and rear v-brakes. Is it better to have them looser so that they wont lock-up and cause skidding? Or is it better to have them tight so you can stop faster? THANKS

Do i have to win a race or something to get a sponsor. If i get a semi-pro mountain biker to recommend me then can i mabe get a bike from some less well known company. I dont have money to get a nice bike..i could do so much better..cause my bike has trouble shifting..great bike besides that. Bent the shifter and hasnt been the same since even though i got it straightened.

Annoynomous A1 asked:


What bikes are easier to balance and ride on? Do you think bikes with smaller tires are easier to ride than bikes with bigger tires?
If you raise the bike seat, would that help you balance better? What exactly would help you balance better and ride the bike better?
