First post,
I've been lurking around for a while trying to decide on the best bike for me,
Knew I wanted full sus with fox front and rear, toyed with the idea of a stumpy for a bit before I came across what I think will suit me perfect,

I know there getting abit old but the amount I ride (once a month if I'm lucky) didnt warrant going for a mega bucks ride.
It's just about mint, odd mark here and there but for I'm well chuffed,
Now all I need to do is get out on it,

Cheers Matt

    Fair play to you fella, that's a pretty epic bargain!

    Hadn't told the mrs about it until it came home, she was a bit miffed I'd spent £££ on a bike,

    They get used to it when postman starts turning up with little "upgrades" that you "need", my mum was dumbfounded when i told her i'd spent £1400 on a bike 12 months later she sends me emails of special offers etc etc
    What if your dreams and fears existed in the same place? What if to get to heaven, you had to brave hell? What if everything you've ever wanted cost you everything you've ever achieved? Would you still go there?

    Dunno if anyone else rides/had 1 of these has had any experience switching to the maxle on the rear, is it worth doing as the reviews I've found have put it as a must do,
    Can't seem to find the kit in the uk tho?

    Cheers for the comments fellas, well happy with it, Spose it's what you get for selling 2 days before crimbo...

    Lovely bike and an absolute bargain! I had one of these, and loved it (now have the 2010 Attack Trail).

    I didn't bother with the rear maxle upgrade, never really noticed any issues with the rear at all in about a years worth of riding every weekend. I do have the maxle on the rear of the Attack Trail though, and it feels so solid.

    Personally, I'd leave it as it is for a little while, see if you like it, and just focus on enjoying the bike as it is :)
