A mountain bike for a Female 16 yr old? Budget is 150?

Q. I need a bike for a 16yr old.


Answer
Hello! Welcome to the 21st century. I ASSUME you mean $150 and not rupees or German marks or pesos. The only thing $150 will buy is heartaches in the form of a " Bicycle Shaped Object" from a discount store.
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&tbo=d&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=bicycle+shaped+object&oq=bicycle+shaped&gs_l=hp.1.2.0l4.6235.13313.0.16500.14.11.0.3.3.0.375.3094.2-7j4.11.0.les%3B..0.0...1c.1.2.hp.uc8RVct5b7I&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.42080656,d.aWc&fp=72bf9325becb8e42&biw=1024&bih=568

And it certainly won't buy a true "mountain bike". The ones in discount stores may look like a mountain bike with the knobby tires & front fork suspension. They are actually designed & built for streets use ONLY with a (small) warning sticker somewhere on the bike stating that fact. They are also designed & built for KIDS.

Need a REAL bicycle? Then go see a REAL bicycle shop. Good bikes of any type or style now start around $450 to $500 - any brand. Again...welcome to the 21st century.

Question about mountain bike pedals...?




HoleInOne2


I have a 2007 Raleigh Mojave 4.0, and I would like to buy new pedals for it online from www.danscomp.com

Does anyone know what size my bike would need, whether it be 9/16" or 1/2"?

Please only answer if you are sure of what size I need because I would like to order them ASAP

Thanks



Answer
9/16" is the standard and what you should order. 1/2" is for kids or really crappy bikes.
