    Depends on the bike, the rider, and the type of riding. Usually, if
    you're going with a decent-quality bike, and riding it in accordance
    with its design, you probably won't be in any danger.

    Assume a decent quality bike, a rider weighing 225, and mostly trail
    riding, is that going to be a problem, yes or no?

    No. Just avoid "stupid light" components (especially wheels, seat post,
    etc.).

    Some full-suspension bikes will actually state a weight limit -- usually
    just the racing models, however.

    Go. Ride. Bounce. Smile.

    About 110 pounds. They're not set up for grown men to ride.

    Well, folks, he warned us about the carnage that would be wrought for
    dissing his garage-sale buys!

    Oh, the Usenettity...

    You speak from experience, but I believe this thread was
    in reference to the load capacity of a MTB.
