yeah, i am a little hesitant to recommend these things to people because i did a LOT of work to make it happen. so much so, it wouldn't even have been practical to pay a shop either. i had to lace a special hub as well. it works great, but not for an inexperienced mechanic. i would probably recommend brake therapy to someone. but even that ones uses a special profile hub i believe. both are very comparable i think. both have EXCELLENT customer service as well.
now that all is said and done, i wouldn't use it for anything more than XC. so now i am kind of wanting to just retire the schwinn and get a bike that:
1) i can jump and not worry about it
2) has no sentimental value
--this should equal more fun!
