PROS and CONS (Product Review)

The Good

comfortable ride, looks pretty good, smooth gear shifting, great tyres

2012 Mongoose Fireball 26" Bike

Good Value, some great budget components, some junk (Product Review)

The Good

Chain guide, tires, frame geometry

The Bad

seat, brakes

Overall Review
I bought this because it's my third bike and I ride in two countries and needed one to use for about a month each year. The good: MRP chain guide works pretty flawlessly Kenda K-rads are great tires Frame geometry is great but chainstays could be shorter The OK: SRAM rear derailleur OK, but better if short cage Crank works fine, square taper is reliable Fork is bouncy and fun but has no adjust and bottoms and tops out really easily Wheels are heavy and don't have sealed bearings, but are reliable 710mm steel bar and short stem The Bad: Tektro brakes overheat on the slightest hill Seat rails...

Mongoose Nugget

Fun little DJ machine (Product Review)

The Good

solid, fun, great in the air

The Bad

pivots get loose after heavy riding

Overall Review
After a season of riding on the Nugget I can say that this is a very capable dirt jumper and overall a very fun bike. Dirt jumping/slopestyle is not my forte but as soon as I got on this bike I felt a lot more confident and comfortable on the jumps. My nugget was built up fairly heavy but even with the weight under me the bike felt snappy in the air and accelerated in the corners. I definitely feel this would be a good 4X bike, the 4 inches of travel feel consistent and help when the landings get sketchy or the trail gets rough.

2012 Mongoose Switchback Expert Bike

Mongoose switchback expert 2012 (Product Review)

The Good

Lightweight and very strong, will take alot of punishment and deal with it no problem. Grippy wide tyres makes speed riding through dirty tracks and slippery surfaces easy. Fantastic brakes mean you have complete control downhill.

The Bad

The crank and pedals are of a poor quality so i would reccomend getting those replaced. quick release mechanism on front and back tyres are a theives dream so i would have those removed.

Overall Review
I have had this for 3 weeks now and its a fantastic bike. I did spend an extra £100 on a steel crank and pedals but that was personal preferance. I would reccomend this to anyone.
