Dear Yeti Tribe,
I'm curious if there are any reoccurring issues with the SB5 (any year).
The reason I'm asking is that's it's on my list of choices of bikes to consider as my next one. The other one that I am considering is the new Ibis Ripley. I currently ride a V1 Ripley. A lot of people gripe ( including me!) about the creaking issue, although it all boils down to maintenance. What about the SB5?
The past few years I've demo'd at least 10 bikes and am most impressed with the Ripley and the SB5. I like how the SB5 maneuvers and does a great job climbing.
Another concern, is company support. I've heard a bunch of complaints here which makes me a bit weary, whereas, Ibis has great support. I been to the HQ and they seem like a great crew. Whenever I have a concern, I shoot them an email, and get a reply the day of, if not the next - like clockwork. So Ibis' service is impeccable, what about Yeti overall?
Btw, I'm considering buying used to save a little $$$. Which year model is best?
Thanks amigos! :thumbsup:
