Strengths: i love the 650b wheels there not too big or too small. the single speed can handle all the trails near me perfectly. disc brakes, after stopping a few good times. they work perfect.the big fat tires really help in sand like at nine mile and river bottoms. great bike all around.Weaknesses: only thing i found is the on one Mary bars. i didn't like it mostly because i lived with rise bars. except that and working down brakes it's a good bikeBottom Line: great bike for anyone who wants a nice high-end bike with out the high price. handles anything thrown in it's way. conquers all trails easily.

Strengths: 650B wheels - I'm digg'in em
Bars - Mary On One - no more back aches.
Stable, handles well, for me very comfortable.
Disc Brakes - didn't think I'd like'em but I do.Weaknesses: Would have preferred track drop outs - but I understand the masses don't like'em on mt bikes.
For the asking price,great bike and parts. 1st upgrade would be the wheels - nothing wrong with them, just saying that would be my 1st upgrade.
Have'nt a problem with them - just would like to have a set a blunts to run on - but until I toast'em will be running what's there - looks to be for awhile too.
Oh yeah locating 650 "tubes" and I mean correct size !
Can use 26" tubes, but would be nice to have correct size.Bottom Line: Extremely happy with the bike - can't wait for the snow to melt and get back out on the trails -
I'd give it the 5 flamin Chiles but somebody would think I'm working for Haro
Who should ride it - anyone looking to check out the 650B
Wheel size and likes ss bikes
Who shouldn't-anyone that prefers a bike with plush travel
