Favoriate Trail:Alum Creek Phase 2
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $800.00
Purchased At:BikeSource Columbus
Strengths:Amazing Frame, Great Geometry, Good Cockpit (bars,stem,grips,seat) Not too heavy. SS
Weaknesses:WHEELS!!! these Wheels are the worst wheels ever! bent the front rim the first time out. the rear wheel needs a hub overhaul after 3 months! The Front wheel has a bent rim. Whoever built these wheels needs to be shot. the spokes are the SAME LENGTH!!! for a front disc wheel this is the worst mistake ever.
Similar Products Used:None
Bike Setup:BB7 front brakes, soon to be BombShell CRUSHER wheels(48 spoke, triple wall, WOOT) Primo Super Tenderizer pedals, otherwise stock.
Bottom Line:This is a reveiw for the 2008 P.1. Replace the wheels, and the pedals when they wear out, and this bike is a perfect do it all bike. It can be run XC, DH, FR, Park, and definitely home on the DJ. I would also grab some Chain tensioners, such as a surly tugnutt. The BMX spec on the cranks is nice, allowing for a potential microdrive setup. umm...I would definitely replace the wheels, and if you have some extra cash, a new fork. Other than that a great bike and a good way to get into DJ or anything that requires a solid bike.
