Favorite Trail:
Tom Brown
Duration Product Used:
3 months
Strengths:
Love the geometry--very stable. Light enough for the money.
Weaknesses:
Monitou Axel elite 100mm does not do the job as well as my brother's rock shock pilot 80mm.
Similar Products Used:
'05 Trek 6700 w/ xt shifters/hydraulic disc brakes, S-works w/ fox rear and marzocchi front.
Bike Setup:
upgraded to Hayes 9 DH disc w/ 8" rotors
Bottom Line:
Great bike for the money. Beat up the stock components until they die and then upgrade--or just get the Deluxe. Love the frame. Great job by Sunshine Cycles installing the Haye's 9s. Thanks John and Alex.
