Strengths:    Great frame & ride

Weaknesses:    Brakes & rear drop out for chain adjustment

Bottom Line:   
Love the frame and the ride, the brakes are terrible. Replaced with avid 185 on the rear, the upgrade is about $80.00. Yesterday I was riding and the chain came off, I flipped the bike and when I got up the rear wheel was gone. After looking at the rear drop outs, the quick release on the wheel, and the chain tension adjustment my conclusion is it is as bad as the brakes. I like the 29er and the single speed ( simpler & better work out ) but I have had too many problems in less than 6 months. I have had better luck with Specialized and Giant brands. If you are going to buy one, look at the rear drop out and how much of the aluminum the quick release actually grabs on the chain tension assembly - not very much.
