Carbon Fibre Mountain Bikes

[Hodge]

I have a Santa Cruz Tall boy c. It's got a lifetime guarantee on the frame. It's light and stiff and is a dream to ride.

I had to laugh at myself last week bigging my new Whyte 529 up to a customer who gladly returned the gesture by showing me his mountain bike ....A Black Sheep carbon fibre with just about everything I have never heard of apart from same shocks has mine ...Rock shox .

Apparently 4k plus and a one off built to his spec from the states .....put me in my place lol .

Depends what type of riding you do as to full sis or Hardtail, hard tails are great and I love mine and was reluctant to get a full susser but now I have one I am finding a massive difference in my riding. I smashed me personal bests on a few knarly rocky trails the other day as the suspension just eats the bumps and rocks etc. it has a lock out feature for on the road or climbing. Also look at getting 1x11 group set as the weight saving is massive and you don't miss the gears once u get used to it. Cube make good bikes as do giant and specialized. It's all down to how much u wanna spend really and carbon bikes, especially good quality carbon bikes are not cheap. The cheap carbon bikes have less carbon in the frame.

Yes it's a 30, the large one on the back is 40 so it's like the old granny ring. It's works fine once you get used to it, it's like all the old systems good gears spread out over 11. As for pedals, I had not put them on when the pic was taken.

is the chain prone to jumping off as it don't have a front mech or chain stay on???
