Submitted by Bomber a Cross-Country Rider from Laguna Niguel, CA
Date Reviewed: July 24, 1999
Favoriate Trail:
Tellonix
Duration Product Used:
more than 3 years
Strengths:
Stiffness
Weaknesses:
Weak Derailleur Hanger, warranty isn't lifetime.
Similar Products Used:
Specialized Stumpjumper, Trek OCLV hardtail.
Bike Setup:
Marzocchi Z2 Bomber, Griffen Hardtail
Bottom Line:I gotta say, I'm unhappy with this product. I've broken the derailleur hanger so many times because it's so weak. And they're charging for replacements. I have cracked the frame in different places. They don't even have a lifetime warranty. It's no wonder they stopped making mountain frames. I wouldn't even touch their road bikes.
