bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. the ghost 4x comp is a honourable mention.
2. DO NOT BUY HYDRAULIC BRAKES THEY ARE SHIT AND HIGH MAINTENANCE . I REPLACED TWO HYDRAULIC BRAKES ON MY MTB. JUST BUY AVID BB7 MECHANICAL BRAKES THEY ARE SIMPLE TO MAINTAIN..
3. Don't mind me saying, but, my full suspension is actually really good, and it was only £240. it has SRAM X4 gears and Hayes MX5 brakes. it also has SR Suntour forks and rear shock the tyres are kenda the wheels aren't branded but are decent double wall alluminium. so you can buy a decent full suspension bike for less than £500 by the way it's a B'TWIN rockrider 500s
4. don't go to halfords
5. My price range is $1000 and below and I'm looking for a bike for intermediate trails and my frame size is 15. What would be a good bike for me?

7. Is there a bike thatll be good for jumping curbs doing trails jumps sonetimes for under 300-400? thanks
8. How ironic that they said halfords have in store mechanics wow
9. Would you say that the Scott Aspect 750 is a good bike at this price point?

12. How do you feel about a Raleigh m80 2005 and how much did they cost new +BikeRadar
13. please help me! i bought a new bike and it has a rockshox xc30. the problem is that im only using about 35% of the course (even on harder drops). i asked the guy where i bought the bike and he told me he could remove some oil in order to increase the course, but 65% is ok and i shouldn't have more or i could damage my fork. is this correct? it annoys me so much that i cant use at least 90/95% of my 100mm fork ...
14. What's your opinion on the diamondback 2015 recoil

17. Polygon xtrada 5, giant talon 4. Which better yo bikeradar?
