F.T.W, please be real careful about taking that X-mart bike on a mountain trail. The warnings others post on this forum about department store bikes should be taken seriously. I've never tried a department store bike on a trail, but my freinds have with bad results. One could not complete the ride due to an improperly tensioned wheel that bent. Better you should pick up an old rigid fork, LBS bike like an old Trek, Nishiki or DiamondBack. I rode a few of those with no problems. They were built for the trail.
