I want to see your mountain bikes, come on specs and pics

P.S Wouldnt use zee shifter either, wana go for SLX cos that will only shift up once per click, whereas saint and zee can shift up multiple gears by 1 click

Didn't know that mate? Will have a look at that aswell

Yeah mate, thats why Adam Brayton doesnt use saint shifter with his mech. Will try and find a link

[betty_swollox]

Cheers buddy will do that, it was either Zee or E thirteen but will look at the Saint

if you can afford saint then go for it mate, the zees are awful in comparison

u want the m660 one.

The m670 has the ispec mount, so you can use the hope match makers etc

so just get the m660 mate :)

I'll get them ordered tomorrow, I can always sell the shifters I dont use, im a bit peed off ow though cos I just got rid of some

Not to worry, thanks for your help mate

[betty_swollox]

hahaha i know mate, nowt worse than buying something and then being told you've got the wrong one


don't get me wrong, you might be happy with the zee shifter, but I would hate it. thats why I always use sram  lol, single click = 1 shift up, the way it should be!

Much off-road or mountains on the way?

Get a hybrid without suspension it will be a much easier ride and good for cycle paths and forest tracks when required.

Boardmans (Halfords) get a good write up but at the end of the day they are all as good as each other.

It will just come down to personal preference.

Hedge is right, you dont want a mountain bike for a commute, you want a hybrid (if its never going off road get a racer)

You go on mainland europe and you wont see people with mountain bikes anywhere but in the hills and mountains lol.  It seems to just be a UK thing! They are geared far to low for commuting IMO.
