I’m planning on changing my mountain bike wheels for my mountain bike to track bike wheels. I’m going to be traveling to school which is very far.

Since track bike wheels are very big. Will they give me a boost?

Because when I see someone riding a track bike I sort of try to race behind them, and they good pretty fast.

Okay I am 6’2” and I weigh a little over 230 pounds. I am looking to get into bmx freestyle and racing seeing as how I already do both for blades. I am wondering since im so big should I need bigger shocks or a heavier duty frame to support my weight? Also what is a good but cheap in price brand. I don’t wanna spend over 250 for the entire bike. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I recently acquired a old Viking Superstar 10 racing bike and wish to identify the rough year it was produced and more info in particular the type of steel tubing used (ie Reynolds ? …).

I have discovered a certain amount of information through researching but cannot seem to unearth anything regarding this particular model and its frame.

Please check the pictures in the link.

Any info would be greatly appreciated ! (on both the viking and the triumph both on the flickr page!)

15 year old girl. 5 foot 7 inches strong. 135 pounds…begginer racer (ride a 90cc trail bike) place here i will be racing, does not let ppl my age race a 125 next year, so a 125 will be a waste, and they dont a have a 150 class…thanks!! also, does the price seem good?

I am competing in a Sprint Triathlon in October, i was wonder what sort of time should I be riding 23km in? I believe this will be my strongest section, and therefore want to make most of my time here!

any tips on training, i want to do as best as i can in this competiton

Thank you!

Other notes:
Swim 400m ( Can do this in 8-9mins) Bike 23km (unsure) Run 5km (I can do this 22mins blown out of my a** though)

I have a standard racing bike

Im a 15 year old girl, 5 foot 7 inches strong. I have been riding a 90cc trail bike, and want to start racing. The track closest to my, only has classes for 125, and 250, nd when im 16, i will not be able to ride the 125 bc the class is for 15 yr olds and younger, so thats not even an option…so would this make a good begginer bike? (with a lot of practice beforethe race of cource) ? thanks!! also is it 2 or 4 stroke? what year does it look like?
