It's a stock answer but if you want a £500 mountain bike go for a Decathlon 8.1 or Voodoo Hoodoo.2011 Carrera Fury

have a cube and i love it only thing that puts me off the cube is the v brakes is there anyway of stretching to the aim discs the benefit of hydrolic discs would be a great upgrade, cant comment on the cannondales as i havent had one i did look at them but decided on my cube in the end0

2011 Cannon at Pauls for £360 , might be cheaper with a personal loans than a 2012 on finance?

I've got the 2011 Cannondale SL4... http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/products.p ... 1b0s2p3693
£449 at the moment. It's a better all round spec than both the 2012 SL4 and SL5. And I love it.0
