I bought a expensive bike not long time ago, XTR equipped and best Fox sus and so on.
I have a lot of **** to put give this parts or its becoming the bike brand (watch out dealers, brands), it dont matter what kind of bike, the frame is good, its the parts.

1. My crank become ****ed up after 20km, it was noise-full for every step. So i had to shift the brand new Shimano XTR crank, then it become so noiseless that everyone dont turned looking after me.

2. My bike was delivered with Prowler MX 2.1, but the inner tube was some korean unknown ****. I have rarely experienced any puncturing before so i wondered what the hell has happened. But the place where the valve is attached/welded to the tube was half way off..

4. And the DVD that came with my Fox suspension dont work with my MAC.

3. Shimano`s developers can **** themself. When i was buying a new bike to 5500$ i thought that compared to my old 2001/2002 Shimano XT system my new XTR 2008 would have developed.. But its not, maby a few gram less, but my old system is quicker when it comes to shifting. And my old XT 2001/2002 have not been bended yet, my new XTR is already bend. And no... It was slow before it was bend. And i have had 2-3 good workshop to try to adjust this gears. Its just ****..The front shift is touching the chain and the back gear is not good either. I want to replace it with a good old 24 speed. Less gearing and higher speed and less problems. I think Shimano engineers must have been on hollyday last 5 years, no development in a good way.

I say **** it. I dont thrust Shimano as i did anymore.
