QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 22 2012, 05:00 PM) that's much lower than i expected.. i know FSA price their components quite fairly... but didn't thought they were that low... Thats the thing bro .. but have you check how much weight you are reducing for that price?  I'm not sure bout the weight .. esp the weight of my stock mongoose parts |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 22 2012, 11:58 PM) yeah.. hold that thought.. or just research if some 7075 bars and stem can lower the simillar amount of weight for half the price... exactly .. why not some avid xx or elixirs instead of the shimano ones? but i do hear that the avids have some problems of their own.. like the lever is mushy if left unused for a period of time and needs a couple of pulls before they get up to working conditions after long periods... spent some time chitchatting with the shop owner just now he was telling the same .. servicing the avids is such a fastidious process  |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 23 2012, 01:37 PM) watching them go fast is one thing... going fast yourself is totally another thing.. bro , ur last statement .. . doesnt it mean the same thing ! for me any reputable bikes are already a good bike.. as long as the bike doesn't come out from giant, carrefour or tesco... or some lousy taiwanese brands.. most importantly enjoy riding.. not enjoy what you ride... |

huhuhu , hope i'm able to convince the shop where i bought & claim the warranty ..
 QUOTE(malleus @ Jan 24 2012, 01:20 PM) Its kinda the same idea as the 69ers (29 in front, 26 at the back) Oh i tot vice versa .. Bigger tires in front to make it easier to roll over stuff, smaller one at the back to provide easier acceleration.  QUOTE(silvy @ Jan 24 2012, 01:23 PM) Is there any bike shop tat is opened today? 1. TRM s.alam .. 2. orbit tmn equine This post has been edited by noprob: Jan 24 2012, 01:34 PM |

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 25 2012, 12:26 PM) how much can you sell it for... and noting in mind that you are selling it with a problem? bro , u leaving me with more puzzle .. without putting into account how much you can get back for your bike and since you have already own it... either way means doom for your wallet to be frank... the question is do you like the mongoose frame that much that you are willing to put in more money to upgrade or you think it is better to spend a bit more and start from scratch on another bike... i think it is expensive either ways with the mixture of components on your bike... and 24-speeds.. not that there is anything wrong with 24, but at least a 27s will be a better base to start with... i wnt a shimano brakeset & 10speed groupset .. but thats already cost another mongoose bike  |
