I just purchased this bike myself ;);)
what pedals you got on it? wellgo mg-1 white??

the only other thing seems to be the brakes, they rub and no matter how many times i re-align them they get no better. The rear disc also makes a funny watery sound under heavy braking? any1? i must add i am a perfectionist who has his bike fully serviced every 6 months, so don't worry haha m8 the bike is awesome really is, i bet i could give a few of you full sus riders a run for your moni any day and i am gessing other crush/rocky ridge owners feel the same haha.

I'm still waiting on the bike to be delivered! but thanks for the advice on the tyres! You happy with how the bikes running apart from the tyres?

DMR v8 m8, changed to Conti mountain kings to, found the maxxis didn't role as good. The baked paint orange use i have found to be a bit of a problem cos if you get a little chip a large section comes off cos its so brittle. You had any probs or issues?

youre gonna love this bike mate, my riding buddy is crush orange with his 08 its tops, looks the dogs in orange. check my marin sim bike to crush, strokers stop great but pads have poor life in wet & mud, read other reviews that said same think hayes need different material for british trails oh once again ace ride.

Cheers mate hope so, the toss up was between this and the Rocky Ridge. Test rode them both and decided to go with crush. Feels more sure footed at high speed although apart from that the two bikes are so hard to seperate. As for pads i have had Hayes strokers since they came out on my old bike, have found that goodridge pads wear slightly better in our winter weather. Thanks again.
