$625.00 | | Purchased At: | Town and Country | | Strengths: | Super solid, great components. | | Weaknesses: | Brake levers, hubs, rims, weight | | Similar Products Used: | I didnt like the wheelset that came on the bike so i upgraded to th Eastern Big Wheels which you can see at www.Easternbikes.com | | Bike Setup: | I had the Commando series Hercules. I changed the wheel set to the big wheels which are a different kind of alex triples and some really sweet hubs that spin like butter and are light. They are super nice and i wouldnt ride the bike if I dint have that wheelset. I also put on a profile blackjack sprocket and two dirt harry brake levers. (the left one is upside down) | | Bottom Line: | If you ride heavy and hard, and abuse your bike this is for you. If your a tiny trail rider dont buy this bike. Many people complain that its too heavy. I am 6 feet and weigh 190 pounds and i can bunny hop mine about 3 feet maybe a little more. This is more of a big person bike. Also if you go think its heavy now and decide later to put on a 2 pound chain like i did and super heavy duty parts then you will really be screwed. Otherwise this is a super solid bike that seems like it will never break. I would recomend this for a street or a vert rider that doesnt really care about weight. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
