Thanks for any info." ) He asked members who had experience with them for their opinion, not members writing nonsense, and you need to keep that temper in check cause it will get you into trouble.
I say again if they have never owned a Mongoose their opinion is just that, hollow words or nonsense.
Really I'm not offended by what people think of my bike, the only person my bike needs to please is me, and it pleases me very much. My beef is with people saying hearsay and passing it off as fact. One more thing while I'm on my soap box. If you bought a BMW 3 series for the sole purpose of racing it against a Formula 1 race care, it wouldn't mean it's a crapy car because you lost every race. It just mean's it's not designed to race against a Formula 1 race car, but it is excellent for what it is designed for. I for one am not saying Wal-Mart bikes are great to do DH or Freeride or DJ but if you plan on riding easy XC, hey then there is nothing wrong with them. It's all about expectation and what use they are meant for.
Again, the OP asked several questions, and each answer was directed at a specific one. How about letting him decide whether or not the advice was useful to him. You don't have to have personal experience with an object to know something about it. I've never driven a Lincoln Towncar, but I can tell you that it wont make a good track car and list several reasons why. And that's what has been done here; members took their general knowledge of bikes and applied it to a given catagory of bikes. Until you gain some more knowledge of
mountain biking, maybe you should listen more than you *****.
