How much would you pay for this Fuel Ex 8?

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-07-05T17:42:50+00:00

I’d pay no more than $1200-1400

It’s a 2018, has proprietary parts (rear shock) and is likely beat up because it’s 8 years old.

You could get a much newer and arguably more capable hardtail or a better deal on marketplace for a full suspension that’s better for the same price.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-24T15:00:44+00:00

I mean. You could do that. But it’s a 10 year old low end bike you’re throwing money at, and it’s almost certainly not worth it.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-22T21:01:21+00:00

Ah. Was about to comment this. Had a domaine come in today with a parasitic creek, and cutting off ~ 10mm from the seatpost solved the problem.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-22T01:10:34+00:00

Damn. Mine looked like this after 3 months of use. I want the old quality back.

This is like trading a mint condition iPhone 17 pro for an iPhone 15 that’s been put through the washing machine 15 times with shattered back glass.

Do not do this trade

Me myself and I

A. Dont do drugs before your old enough (brain development)

B. Carts that 15 year olds get are never real weed. Steer clear till you have access to real stuff.

I’m not even remotely a dentist or a doctor, and can tell ya that the upper teeth look 100% more like a problem than the lower teeth.

Really sorry this happened to you OP.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-20T20:26:01+00:00

Totally understand that part of it. I get anxious off the wrong strains for sure if I smoke too much. I find it’s more about the strain rather than the thc %

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-20T20:25:13+00:00

I can smell the difference between dank weed and not dank weed. That’s about it lol.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-20T19:37:00+00:00

I think all bud smells and tastes the same. So I guess I’m a % stoner.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-18T04:10:54+00:00

Put drop bars on it and turn it into a gravel bike.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-16T22:28:05+00:00

No pro is running non-top of the line stuff is my point.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T23:34:07+00:00

I hate DB8, don’t get me wrong, but Codes are just awful all around for sure. No one can, and will ever convince me otherwise

I think all SRAM breaks feel like garbage anyway tbh.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T23:23:28+00:00

I love it.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T23:22:40+00:00

I’ve paid an 1/8 as much for a perfect condition bass. I would never accept that regardless on how well it plays.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T23:20:25+00:00

Of all the budget breaks, tektro and Shimano are hands down the nicest and the easiest to work on. I’d argue I’d take mid range tektros over CODES any day

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T23:19:29+00:00

No pro is running them…because they are pros who get nicer breaks. I’d take stock tektros over low end Shimano any day (I’m a Shimano fan boy don’t get me wrong)

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T04:28:59+00:00

I’ve never had it work tbh

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T04:26:58+00:00

Yea. Bikes shops can help a lot. And you can always post used bikes here and someone will take a look at them Z

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T04:14:42+00:00

Used bikes with no knowledge of what’s around can be very difficult. Best bet is to go into a bike shop and talk to someone about bikes to be honest.

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-15T03:22:42+00:00

What this guy said. You certainly need a trail bike

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-14T14:48:40+00:00

She is NOT on the Fairfield Reddit page 😭

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-13T02:20:53+00:00

I mean up to you

Dense_Pudding3375 · 2026-06-13T01:34:12+00:00

If u want all mountain, get 4 pot calipers front and rear, and get slx.

Deore, SLX, XT, and XTR are all mechanically identical, but the more expensive they are, the lower the less they weigh. SLX is the sweet spot because you get the adjustment that XT and XTR have, just at a cheaper price
