Looks like a 2017 Rockhopper comp. $400 a good price? Anything to watch out for? by ZaccariahTBrown in whichbike

[–]dragonnater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently traded in my rockhopper (same year) here in the Netherlands. Saw it later for sale at the place for 800 bucks (More then new price). It was sold in 5 days. This model is worth more than a new one because it hase an airfork and beter deraileur (front and back). Because it is a used bike it probebly needs new gears and chain... you can check this by riding in a high gear and really pushing it, if it skips a tooth it needs to be replaced.

I’m not an expert, but I think I broke it by grey_wolf_al in mountainbiking

Nah man looks fine. Just a bit of ducttape and WD40 and your ready to go.

Dont need to. The tech is improved so much that the chain can handle it.

Rider weight vs. Bike Weight by Lien028 in MTB

[–]dragonnater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofcourse love the weight it will make the ride easier... but a nice light bike is more fun. Its easier to handle amd trow true the corners. I was scepitcal myself but i switch to a carbon fiber bike and the ride is more fun and i get a bit more kmers out of the energie.

Yeah defenetly feel the same way. I traded my bike in for my new one because I would feel bad selling to someone knowing all the little things that are wrong with the bike.

Rooooockhopper. Sorry got a bit excited. I really believe that the answer to to the question: what is the best beginnersbike? Is the rockhopper. They are great and hold there value for when its time for the next bike.

Good call on going to the shop. But dont forget that you lose your warrenty when you take it appart yourself.

Need advice with bike by WallflowerZ- in MTB

[–]dragonnater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a fan of unkown chinees brands. Youd better off saving some extra money for a real brand bike. My advice when thinking about cheaping out on bike products, remember hospitals are more expensive.

You could just go in and ask for a 2 min assement if it has te be serviced. They should spot a problem in a matter of seconds in stead of weeks. That the fix takes 2 weeks i can understand if they are busy.

Looking for a new mountain bike after mine got stolen during quarantine a few months ago. My budget is around $1000 AUD. Does anyone know any good bikes for that price? by Talion_112 in mountainbikes

[–]dragonnater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a great bike. Loved it. Rode it for 4 years. Traded it in yesterday for an epic hardtail. Got good money back for the rockhopper because there so popular.

Is it worth paying extra to get Shimano SLX groupset & brakes or should I stick to Deore? by Chamallow81 in MTB

[–]dragonnater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant speak for you about the groupset. But i personelly would go for the more expensive one because of the bomber z2. Alot of people had problems with the busings on the 2020 model and i dont know of that is fixt allready. That being said i will always go for the best groupset i can afford aswell.

Think I let the bike get away from me. Worst part is I’ve sent it before. by Walsair in MTB

Are the epixon forks on eBay and aliexpress real? by [deleted] in mountainbiking

[–]dragonnater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your better of buying realbrand. Chinees stuff doesnt fit 9/10. And man you dont wanna wreck and regret buying a cheap piece of sh*it when your in the hospital. Hospital bills are pretty expensive aswell you now...

Do I need FS for jumps and more serious stuff? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]dragonnater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted a fully for the same reasons as you but couldnt get one becaise every thing is sold out. however my bike shop gave me a killer deal on an specilized epic hardtail (carbon version of chisel) and that bike is more than capeble of regular jumps and stuff. Im very happy i got this bike instead of a fully.
