Hey Gang
I'm trying to decide which bike to get as my first FS
Choice is Cube 130 AMS Race or 150 AMS Race. Both 27.5.
Currently I'm riding Cube LTD 26 hardtail.
I guess my question is how badly will extra 20mm of travel will get in a way if it isn't absolutely essential where I'm riding? Folks that ride with me mostly ride 120mm 29" and 27.5" and advising me the same.
150 AMS is a little higher spec wise and also comes with reverb seat post whereas 130 does not. I'm planning on installing either reverb or kronolog (if the bike I choose doesn't come with one) but if I do that with 130 it will be a little heavier than 150. Plus 150 just looks oh so much better than 130 color wise, it's silly but at least I'm being honest
Choice is pretty much Cube bikes because thats what LBS is selling
