Hey guys,
This may seem like a dumb question, but I can't seem to get a decent aswer. I'm from Canberra so I visit the usual places like Stromlo etc, I want to get my first freeride bike, compared to the usual 21/24/27 speed dualies how are they to ride to the top of the hill or basically around the place. (Gearing, weight, position wise)
I guess what I am asking is will I be able to easily use it doing basic XC to get to the top and around Stromlo Forrest, or if anyone is familiar with Canberra locations, doing some things at sparrow hill. Or will I need to use my existing dually?
Would I be better of upgrading to a bigger/tougher all round dually? That is geared, and lighter. (I'm just afraid to break it on some jumps and drops!)
At the moment the bikes that I am looking at would be:
- Ironhorse Sunday Team
- Norco A-Line
- Norco Shore
Any reccomendations? Please!!!
