Submitted by KWAK a from North Van
Date Reviewed: February 7, 2007
Duration Product Used:1 Year
Price Paid: $900.00
Strengths:The frame is solid
Weaknesses:a lot, I dont even know where to start.
I paid $900 for it, and I swear I spent another at least $500 fixing. The rear deraillers broke 2 times in a year,
I had to get new tires, the fork got really loose, the LBS couldn't fix it so I had to send it to the factory (got it fixed for free though) Now my cranks been coming loose so badly - it comes loose once in 10 minutes. I think the fork's coming loose again now.
Similar Products Used:Giant STP2
Bottom Line:I was at first happy with this solid bike,
but it breaks down really easily if you are
one of those people who fall a lot, and fall every
time you go riding. I think there is something wrong
with the angles of the frame.

Submitted by ray a from london, ontario, canada
Date Reviewed: January 19, 2007
Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
Price Paid: $500.00
Strengths:-solid frame
-good price
Weaknesses:-the crank wabbles cuz the bb cup ring keeps come loss
-small things, like cheap paddles, grip, bar, stem and everything you can think of, cheap no names, but they work fine.
-THE FORK! Manitou is as bad as fork gets.. 2nd biggest complain i have(first is the wabbling crank..
Similar Products Used:norco shore, kona hardtails
Bottom Line:It's a good beginning bike, very good for the price, don't bother by norco sas or kona stuff for like 1200 CAD, cuz this bike is just as good for 1/3 of the price from second hand
