mhstlaa Started a new thread MTB trails in the Netherlands
2/10/2022 3:38am Guys, I need help from fellow Dutch mountain bikers. I am relocating this spring to Rotterdam, as I am switching jobs and I am concerned about where I am going to ride and what kind of trails I am going to find there. I know that there is zero to very little elevation in the Netherlands so technically it is...

2/2/2022 5:05am Yeah, that is the practice I am willing to use. New high-end bikes are so expensive! The only thing I cannot put up with is the hustle of the selling process, but it's ok. The market of used bikes in Greece is also really big, and it is growing rapidly. The thing is I am moving to the Netherlands as...

1/30/2022 11:51am There were some truly insightful answers guys, you are the best! Considering the above, I am leaning to the "trail-side" as it propably suits more to my style of riding. I believe an ideal bike for that purpose would be the Specialized Stumpjumper EVO, as it sits somewhere in between these two categories. On the other hand I am afraid...

I agree with BulletBass.Without knowing the terrain in your area, I think day-to-day a trail bike is the way to go. It is more fun and likely faster on most terrain save for the true super gnar. It’s pretty insane how hard you can ride a 140mm trail bike these days I am of the opinion that it's more fun to push a trail bike to its limit and have to finesse through some super-gnar compared to hauling around a huge, long, and sluggish enduro bike.

Trail bike, you need. Lots of pedaling I see in your future. More laps lead to progression. Progression leads to speed. Speed leads to.... racing results.

1/24/2022 1:01am Hey guys, I am looking to upgrading my rig and my current dillema is what kind of bike should I get. A big and slack enduro bike, or a pedal efficient all-rounder trail bike? Some hints are: I love to ride technical trails, doing wheelies/manuals and ride as playfully as I can. I also love pedalling and I do not...

mhstlaa Added a reply to Swapping my fs frame
4/26/2021 6:30am Because the frame geometry is not that modern so it drops the price of the bike a lot. The components on the other hand are so good and I got them for a very good deal as I said earlier. Considering my current budget I think it will be easier for me to find a good used frame rather than...

4/26/2021 1:12am Hello, I recently bought a 2015 cube stereo 160 with some great components including Rox Shox Lyric, Fox X Kashima, Reverb etc. The thing is the frame is a bit big and and I would like to keep all my parts and swap the frame. Is it possible to find another frame that all my current parts could fit, including...
