Hey Momma, if there is a hole in the top of the fork just below the head tube? then yes a brake can be installed, what you will be asking for is a caliper style brake the brake will run from $24.99 (cdn) to $60 depending on what quality you get  the installation will run you about 20 dollars (cdn) although if you want him to have brakes that work well find a fork with V brake or U brake mounts  and switch the fork this is considerably more expensive but he will end up with far superior brakes.

DON'T!!!\n\nDisc brakes are very troublesome unless they're expensive multi-pot models (and even then they can be a pain). Not only that, you absolutely do not need them unless you're mud-plugging or doing serious downhill all the time. The only advantage they offer is that they're further away from the rim and therefore less exposed to the sh1t. Unless you're clever technically you can't service them reliably, so you'll have big service bills. The parts are expensive and wear out more quickly than rim brake equivalents.\n\nBuy better rim brakes if your present brakes are no good. Cheaper, lighter, no maintenance of any consequence, good braking in all conditions and fit and forget. Personally I like top of the range Avids - cheap, good looking and very effective.

Hey, I ride a YZ 125 and am not super familiar with the RMZ's but it does sound like you need a new seal/gasket. My sprockets have nothing to do with any oils, so I am a little confused as to how yours are related. Your dad is right though, anytime there are random oils around, you are risking major problems with a 4-stroke. I would call your nearest Suzuki dealer and talk to them. If you live in Canada, call WALT HEALYS in Calgary and they should help you. Thats where I work part-timie - but I am not there now and don't have a parts- fiche in front of me!

"Break up" not "brake up"...a brake is what stops a car or bike...

The chain could be loose or your gears need adjusting. You should take it down to your local bike shop and ask them to fix it for you.

I tend to have the same problem. I've reduced it to some extent by shifting the levers very slightly forward and down so now I rest more of my palm on the top of the levers rather than the crook of thumb and forefinger. The disadvantage with this is that the brakes are less well positioned for my fingers, but its marginal.\n\nTry too, changing the inward angle of the brakes to match the natural angle of your hands at the bars. Mine are toed in about 5 degrees.\n\nI also invested in better gloves with gel padding right where it gets sore - these work brilliantly - I know this for sure because just yesterday I forgot them, did 50 miles anyway, and I have a blister to show for it at the base of my thumb!

I'm not sure if you have tried this, but;\n\nObviously, adjust your bike to a comfortable position (bike fitting and adding spacers to handlebar post.)\n\nAlso, this is so important-\n\nFOR PETE'S SAKE DO NOT WEAR BOXERS ON LONGER RIDES!\nI have personal experience with this.........very painful.\nWear something that will keep (everything) packaged in, like good briefs.

Look into cyclocross bikes.  They have the ability to have both road tires or knobby tires (and have the clearance needed for the brake pads), so they are adaptable to whatever kind of riding you are doing today.  They are specifically designed for both on and off road riding.  Linked below is a good, not excessively expensive XC bike.  You can find them from other big dealers as well.

Typically it is due to the material of the brake pads.  The harder the material, the more likely they will squeak.  When you buy a bike,the manufacturer puts the cheapest brake pads on.  They are usually hard and squeak.  Go to a good bike shop and get a new set (they are pretty cheap)

i'd echo prairiebiscuit's answer - Giant really do pack a stackload of features into their bikes.\n\nSome mountain bikes that regulalrly do well in the entry-level grouptests are:\n\nGiant Terrago / Rincon, Specialized Hardrock, Mongoose Amasa, GT Avalanche, Claud Butler Cape Wrath\n\nAs most of the guys here are saying, do make sure you go to a proper bike shop and speak to someone who knows what they're talking about. It'd be better if you could go during the week (and not on a busy Saturday) as you will get better service.\n\nMake sure you get a test ride, and if you think you may get bitten by the mountain biking bug, then aim for something with a reasonable frame that you could justafiably upgrade the components on.\n\nOne point I would make, is that for the amount you are looking to spend, I'd probably avoid going for disk brakes. Some manufacturers will put cable-operated disk brakes (cheaper and far less effective than hydraulic disks) on as a selling feature, though to be honest a reasonable set of v-brakes are as good in all but the grimiest conditions. The added cost of the disks will probably mean that other features (like the fork or crankset) are of a lower-spec than on a similarly priced bike with v-brakes. The thing to make sure of is that the frame, fork and wheel hubs have all got the necessary mounts to allow you to easily upgrade to (hydraulic) disk brakes in the future, if you think you may want to.\n\nThe possible exception to this rule is the Giant Terrago (not sure how much that sells for in the U.S.), which comes equipped with Giant's own-brand MPH hydraulic disks.

Go to walmart, or dunhams. They have bikes from $60.00 to $350.00. It depends what you are looking for. I think mine was around $150.00. I take it out everyday, and i go off the beaten path alot. It holds up pretty good. I know in a few years i might want to up grade, but for the price, it works for now. especially if you are tight on cash.If you go to walmart, just be careful your tire isn't bent, and check everything before you go out. My brakes were really tight, and i had to do a few adjustments all around. That is the only bitch, but i figure i would have had to do that with any bike. Plus i know my equipment now. good luck!
