Thanks for your insight.

$20 reg for City and County of Honolulu. I've looked at other mountain bikes in this price range from Spec, Trek, Giant, and Diamondback. I prefer no suspension since all bikes in this price range have cheapo front suspension with no lock-out. I haven't had a chance to ride this bike yet since i was in a rush to get in and out of the bike store. But i did ride other mountain bikes 26 and 29'ers.

The bike will only be used for exercise. I usually ride 3-12 miles depending on my energy and mood. I hop curbs and do some light off-road on grass and dirt. You think this bike will be sufficient for me?

What would be your first few upgrades to this bike if you were to get it for yourself?
