Mountain bike finally ready? Good (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

benefit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ready? good' is the definition.
'benefit' can be an answer for 'good' (benefit is a kind of good). I am not sure about the 'ready?' bit.

'mountain bike finally' is the wordplay.
'mountain' becomes 'ben' (ben is a kind of mountain).
'bike finally' becomes 'efit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ben'+'efit'='BENEFIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for benefit that I've seen before include "Advantage (from social security?)" , "Advantage; dole" , "Charity event" , "Payment" , "Something that aids" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
