What is an average height range for a size 19″ mountain bike?

Question by tridoc: What is an average height range for a size 19″ mountain bike?

I am selling my bike and the first question that is asked is “I am 5′X”, will I fit your bike?” My bike is a size 19(inches) mountain bike and I am 6’1″. I just need some help directing these potential buyer whether or not they should waste their (and my) time to meet with me if the bike is too big/small in the first place. Thanks for your help.

Your hight: ===== frame size
5′ 8″ – 5′ 11″ =====> 17″ – 18″ frame
5′ 11″ – 6′ 2″ =====>19″ – 20″ frame
6′ 2″ – 6′ 4″ ======> 21″ – 22″ frame

What is a good mountain bike for light use on easy trails?

Question by MAC: What is a good mountain bike for light use on easy trails?

Not an experienced or hardcore mountain biker. Just looking to do some easy trail riding. Been doing research on mountain bikes and need a second opinion. Not looking to spend a lot, since I am not that serious, yet. Found this one on craigslist, but like I said, very little knowledge. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/bik/2592812328.html Any and all thoughts are appreciated. I’m male, 6’1.

It appears to be a 2005 model that sold for under 0, so it is somewhat overpriced. The question is if it is your size. It looks as if the frame might be too small for you, you would have to measure to see if it would work for you. You also have to be able to assess mechanical condition in a 6 year old bike. Needed repairs could add quite a bit to your cost.

Is a mountain bike good for tricks ?

Question by Nichi: Is a mountain bike good for tricks ?

I currently own a full suspension mountain bike. It’s excellent on rough terrain, but when I try making trick I can’t lift it enough or i fall. For example, I tried to make an endo, but the bike or doesn’t lift enough or it lifts to much. It could be my fault, but tell me if it is a popper bike for this task. And what tricks should I try ?

Answer by Briton W
it all depends on the type of tricks youre planning on doing
if your gonna be doin flipps and 360s and everything it wouldnt matter
but a mountain bike has attached wires that makes barspins and tailwhips virtually impossible
