Hey rotor burners,
I recently bought a 12' Devinci Wilson XP and to be honest i'm sick of the limited adjustment in the forks and shock.. theres also a few other things i hate about spec. I came off a TLD Demo 8 (which is for sale in the for sale section) which is top spec. I don't want my demo back but i want another top spec/mid range spec bike. I've had World Cups and X0 everything.. you know, that sort of build and i want to buy a complete bike not frame and build up. So i'm thinking either Devinci Wilson RC (carbon) or Trek Session 9.9 (i work at a trek bike shop, i love treks and dealing with them so why not).
The price difference is a lot but forget about that, also with spec, forget that too. They both have amazing spec either Shimano or Sram.
Now. the alloy Wilson i have now is 400g heavier than the carbon.. (frame) and carbon scares me a little bit. So i'm really sceptical about all of this for sure. Carbon seems really weak in a few aspects. Bolts on a bike can't be over tightened too much or it damages the frame, also devinci don't warrant frames that have been raced on if i cracked it from a rock. Trek is a lot more helpful than that for sure.
So if you could buy a bike, or get one for free, but didn't have the dollars to spend on repairs, what would you get?
This is all probably confusing but hmm,
