Discover the value that this magical little "Alien" will add to your mountain bike accessories kit bag. If you're a serious mountain biker or even a weekend warrior, this little guy is a must have tool for your pouch. I only carry this tool along with a spare tube and pump in my pouch - as a matter of fact, its practically the only tool I use even when I'm at home working in my own garage when I have an arsenal of tools on hand - and believe me, with two boys on bikes, plus all the other kids on the street that congregate around the ramps at our house, I'm out there every day fixing something or other. This little gadget could literally save you a whack of time out on your next ride. Want some killer advantage, carry an "Alien" on your bike. Click here to obtain your Alien today!

I have been a mountain biker for a long time and the most important things for me are - Hydration pack for water, spare tube if you get a flat, flat repair kit, hand pump or CO2 cartridges, a multi tool.
These items will keep you from getting stranded. By the way the most important item- Helmet.
Happy Trails and respect the hikers.

Depends on what you want to do with this bike. And what kind of bike. I like my neoprene fork boots. I also commute, so I have a rear rack and a trunk bag (a really crappy Nashbar one; I recommend something else). Panniers are nice for touring folks. Fenders are good if you ride in the rain wearing your best khakis. If you don't want a big fat trunk bag like mine, get a neato under-the-seat bag. And a computer is the bomb. It gives you a sense of accomplishment, and can help you guide your training. Also you can brag about how far you ride every day.
My favorite online sources are pricepoint.com, aebike.com, niagara cycle works, and nashbar.com.
But no matter what you do with your mtb, the most important accessory is a pair of those multicolored streamers that stick out of the ends of the handlebars. Without those, you're not a real mountain biker.

Buying accessories would depend on how you use your bike. I see you have a mountain bike. If you are riding off trails or rugged roads then all you probably need is a spare inner tube, patches to fix flats, tire removal tools, digital computer and of course one or more water bottle carriers. If you ride a night then a light for both rear and front should be added. I might add a small bike bag to carry your bike tire repair tools and inner tube.
If you aren't roughing it off road then a mirror is a must also. If you don't have clipless pedals in conjunction with biking shoes these are a must at least they are for me. However not all mountain bikers used them, most know do.
If you get into riding long distances on a bike experience will tell you what you need for doing that but not much more is needed if anything.

deffintely a lock and water bottle holder, a bike rack or basket is always very handy too. then you could buy a speedometer i have one on my bike there really cool. also if you ride in the dark ever a light is handy, a pump incase you bust a tire, a mini pocket set with appropiate accesiries for fixing tires and alway carry extra money, water and a snack like a gronola bar when going on long bike hikes
