ok, that's good to know, thanks. anyone else got any other suggestions as to what I could get?

What do you use your mtb for, just road riding or off roading as well?

chris8886 · 13-01-14, 08:06 PM

I use it for a little of both mav, I know i'll be bouncing around when using it on the road, but I really don't mind that as it makes me work a bit harder than it would if I had a hard tail, so it makes me a little fitter when using it on the road.

Ah ok, if it was purely road, I'd have said get a hardtail. As a hardman roadie, I don't believe in rear sus

Here's one on Bike Radar, a bit over budget, but I only had a quick trawl.

Have a look round your local Halfrauds, as mine was selling off last seasons models

Don't dismiss their Voodoo range, as its one above the Carerra range.

I'm afraid I can't see what you're on about there mav, the moment I click the link it takes me to the 'home' page I think and I can't then find the things you're trying to show me

You'll have to register on the forum to access the classifieds section Chris

chris8886 · 13-01-14, 09:01 PM

oh right, well I might do that even if it is just to have a look and see what there is.

that first one does look very good, but yes as you say it is outside of my budget, plus I would also be paranoid of it getting stolen despite being locked up if were to cycle into town or leave it at the train station for a few hours!

chris8886 · 14-01-14, 04:30 PM

anyone got any further ideas, am still open to them.

and what does anyone think of this one.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1611941635...84.m1438.l2649
seems pretty good, worth a punt?

chris8886 · 15-01-14, 04:18 PM
