So this past summer I started racing and I'm hooked, my bike is an 08 foes 2:1 mono, and I can't decide if I should sell it, or keep it. I have heard lots of pros and cons about this bike. After riding it I feel like there are lots more bads than goods about it. Wnat does everybody think?

If you sold it, what would you replace it with?

Sounds like a worthy upgrade to me. You'd likely be happier with suspension that is readily serviceable.

If you already own the bike and dislike it, it sounds like you've already made your decision. Time to get a new bike.

If you can, ride a demo for a day or two.
