simple means less to brake and i have a spattering of titanium parts ect on there aswell as stuff like the wheel

the rear hub alone was over 100 quid

You pay for quality. I remember went i went from a freewheel to a Profile hub, the difference was amazing! My backwheel alone stood me at about £250. All together stood me at about £1400-£1500.

As for rather spending it on car... i think you could possibly enjoy the bike more tbf. Whenever you pull off a big move, the feeling you get is awesome.

AlexB 15th December 2008 17:36

true, but then £1250ish on a mtb is still classed as entry level/intermediate standard!

Same with anything, if your serious n get into it it costs shit loads!

AlexB 15th December 2008 18:57

yea I know a guy who competes in downhill events
his bike cost about 3k iirc
but it's frigging mad lol

smiith 15th December 2008 19:11

is a very nice bike lad, clearly better than cars...

when i bought all my fly about 4 years ago, it totaled something daft like £1570, mostly because alot of the parts came from america, all ti axles, both wheels and the cranks, pedals were £75ish :/ then my fly brake was £65, dont even have it on the bike lol


AlexB 15th December 2008 19:17

looks smart man
my last bike was ti everything (even had the rnc ti sproket n stuff)
tbh after ruining a few ti parts I don't choose them as extras tbh
I ride hard and they just couldn't take it lol

smiith 15th December 2008 19:20

my cranks are RNC, they have never failed in about 4 years now :) i dont run pegs, so my axles can take it :P last time i had pegs on was about 2 years ago, even for street i like it without, finding mad verticle wallrides, then go into whitby park and see who can do the tree ride and get highest.
Quite hard trying to go straight up a tree :P
