Date Reviewed: June 17, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Red Hill, Beaconhill NSW | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$1649.00 | | Purchased At: | The Big Bicycle Shop, Willoughby | | Strengths: | New Hot Links rear swing arm setup stops a lot of the bobbing up and down, whilst trecking along horizontal trails. Improved Hayes Cable Disc Brakes, Much faster than Fairlane 2001 | | Weaknesses: | Typical teething problems, initial disc brake squeeling, bottom bracket loosening, Rear suspension swing arm sticking, But all fixed in 6 week free service | | Similar Products Used: | Mongoose Fairlane 2001, Mongoose DX 8.3 2000, Mongoose SX 6.7 1999 | | Bike Setup: | Stock, with profile platform pedals and barends | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for someone who wants to kick around on something reliable, I personally am set in my ways and ride mainly my local tracks, and for that I really don't a top end piece. hydrolic disc brakes and top-end suspension would be a bit of overkill for what I want to do. Kind of like purchasing a pentium 4 5000 Gigahertz computer to play pac-man. For your local basher, the perfect bike. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
