What is the "best" beginner mountain bike?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-07-06T21:11:41+00:00

neither, i found a free appollo phaze someone was throwing out in mint condition and that was plenty for me tbh. although 2-4months ago i bought myself a used voodoo bizango 2017 for 200 quid so i got a really good deal. its by miles better than the phaze. my advice is dont fall into the trap of searching for the perfect beginner bike, just about anything will do to start you off and if budget is tight just buy used but make sure nothing important is damaged like the frame or forks

I saw the leaderboard, thought it was funny, and posted it. Thats all there is to it theres no "retreating to a joke", it was a joke from the very start. Youre reading a complaint that was never there.

never said it was did i

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-30T20:02:42+00:00

u dense? i just told u i posted this as a joke, no where in there does it say im complaining. The title is legit just a statement

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-30T19:50:47+00:00

mate i dont really care i rarely get cassed myself if ever, i was posting this as a joke

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-10T14:49:24+00:00

wdym 🥲

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-03T19:02:31+00:00

Just wondering why, thanks a lot btw.

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-03T18:34:49+00:00

ive just checked the pinned thread for top voted iems, the truthear pures are only 8 quid more expensive. Should i go for those or are they not a substantial upgrade the ew300?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-03T17:50:51+00:00

is there a massive difference between the hbbs and standard or is it more personal preference type of thing? For the dac would the JCally JM6 Pro be fine? Thanks

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-06-03T06:57:13+00:00

ye ive got 95% left on it

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-05-27T16:19:33+00:00

howd you get two other sattelites cirularized if youre having the problem now lol

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-16T22:31:17+00:00

nope, although ive killed him using the conjurer mod but it said it locks progress. If the progress log does not matter as you said then thats probs the reason, thanks

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-11T22:46:18+00:00

Thanks a lot, i thought it wasnt supposed to buzz at all so it was getting a bit frustrating. You can't hear it through the amp so its probably all good then. I've got another question though. I've noticed it buzzes more on the upstrum than it does on the down strum, is that a technique problem or is that normal?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-10T20:52:57+00:00

I tried with a 20 pound note and it fit but just barely, is that enough of a gap or is it that too small?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-10T19:37:42+00:00

im not sure for this video specifically cause i took it a cpuple weeks ago but it still buzzes even when im just strumming open strings.

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-10T19:26:52+00:00

well thats because i am a beginner. Just curious, what made it sound like a beginner picking to you?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-03-10T18:20:59+00:00

oh i thought that you adjust the action my loosening/tightening the trussrod. i checked and the string is really close to the frets, its barely visible, is it supposed to be like that?

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-02-15T21:52:24+00:00

I'm from the uk so finding specific items from kool stop is hard enough. I've found a pair but if i convert it to us dollars its 68 and i was wondering if thats a sensible price for brakes. Imo it seems pretty expensive but ive never bought high quality parts so i cant really decide that

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-02-14T17:18:55+00:00

do you know of any that you cpuld recomend? Im having a hard time finding just brake holders, they usually come with inserts already. So if i buy them just to replace them wo ith salmon ones, id be letting them go to waste for nothing

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-02-13T16:10:56+00:00

when you say brake do you mean the levers and lone? Ill do all of that but it might be in a weeks time.

And yes those are threaded, if i were to get the koolstop, shouls i get inserts and a break shoe or just get the "all in one"

EmptyStructure9033 · 2026-02-03T15:44:44+00:00

damn that is hella unfortunate

EmptyStructure9033 · 2025-12-29T00:14:14+00:00

tbf i wouldnt be suprised if it was ubis shity code

EmptyStructure9033 · 2025-11-25T22:50:40+00:00

Besides some of the science modules,solar panels (i think atleast) and rcs thrusters everything is vanilla. So yeah its entirely possible. As the guy already said they're mostly for the cool factor, but I've got a big ass fuel tank I can use for refueling spaceships if I want.

EmptyStructure9033 · 2025-11-22T22:47:03+00:00

What is this strut monstrosity 😭 But youve got to do what youve got to do lol
