LAZY & PROUD asked:

What is the best mountain bike for my situation?

themightycashew asked:

I’m an athletic and fairly muscled 38-year-old man. I’m 6’6″ tall and I weigh 255 pounds. I live south of Anchorage, Alaska — a great place for mountain biking with an abundance of open terrain and trails.

I’m new to mountain biking. This summer I’d like to switch over from my past routines of prolific hiking and jogging to biking.

I need a recommendation on a mountain bike for an individual my size. My price range is $3000-$5000.

Thanks!

How much of a disadvantage is it to get mountain biking shoes instead of road biking shoes for a road bike?

Joseph L asked:

It seems like there’s a lot of disparity from one brand’s shoe to the next, whether the shoes are made for road biking or mountain biking. Some mountain biking shoes seem more comfortable for everyday use or for walking. What’s the downside in getting mountain biking shoes for a road bike?

How can I get a cheap mountain bike but in good condition?

frank a asked:

Okay, I always come up with a hobby every summer, like the last summer, I liked RC gas cars, but I realized it’s so much expensive. Now, my hobby is on mountain bikes. Where can I find mountain bikes in the Philippines that are cheap (about, let’s say, P2000-P3000?) but they are in good hands. And if you know someone also that has a mountain bike that’s much for dirt and things like that (in the Philippines) that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
