Purchased At:
Pedal Power Napier N
Strengths:
It is the first 29er I've owned. Felt at home on it straight away.
Weaknesses:
Nothing so far! It could do with being a bit lighter, but it is a budget build so is reliable and works well.
Similar Products Used:
No 29er's. Also own/ride Diamond Back cromo single speed & Yeti 575
Bike Setup:
As per the original build except, swapped the Kenda 8 block tyres for Specialized Captains which suit the area I ride in & hold on well in corners & changed to a riser bar, Flat bars suck!
Bottom Line:
Great value, it is a good all round MTB for what I want. It seems to get more enjoyable each time I ride it.
