Q. What is the difference between mechanical and hydraulic disc brakes?

A. Mechanical disc brakes use a steel cable to pull the calliper, which makes it affordable, easier to maintain and less powerful. Hydraulic disc brakes use fluid pressure for braking, for stopping power, smoother control and better performance in wet and rough conditions.

Q. Can I ride long distances on a Mountain Bike?

A. Yes, though MTBs are heavier and have knobby tyres that make pedaling more tiring on smoother roads, they can handle longer rides with proper gear shifting, comfortable seating, and regular breaks.

Q. What’s better: 27” or 29” wheels?

A. When choosing between 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheels, it completely depends on where you ride and your riding style. 27.5” wheels are comparatively lighter, more agile, and great for quick turns or technical trails. While 29” wheels can roll faster, give better stability and handle rough terrain with ease.

Q. Are mountain cycles suitable for Indian cities?

A. Yes, MTB cycles are suitable for Indian cities. Their sturdy frames, wide tyres and reliable brakes make it good for a daily commute.

Q. What frame size MTB should I choose for my height?

A. The right MTB frame size depends on your height. As a quick guide, riders 5’0”–5’4” can choose a 13 to 15 inch frame, 5’4”–5’8” for a 15–17 inch frame, 5’8”–6’0” for a 17–19 inch frame and above 6’0” for a 19–21 inch frame. At Geekay Bikes, we suggest checking the size chart first or trying the cycle for the best fit.
