Hi, i am looking at buying a 2002 norco wolverine. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the bike or could tell me a bit about it. I here it is awsome, especially for the price. If u know anything, let me know thanx

Well, by the looks of it, the parts suck. How much is it......unless its under 300 bucks, its not too good of a deal.

thanx for the info

What parts r u talking about? i know the shox r real bad, but my guy at the bike shop said he could change them 4 me. I can get it for 450 do u really think its too much? i've heard alot about it

urbanking

Oh don't forget this is cdn dollar, i keep forgetting to tell people.

KleinMp99

well, its a low end bike by the looks of it. I can tell that the cranks are poo, and the rear derailleur is poo, probably the shifters and handlebars and everything are poo. And that means that the wheels and brakes might not be too good. But thats coming from somebody who has enough money to get whatever bike he wants really. I dont know, I wouldent buy that bike, But $450 might be a good price.....lets see what the rest of the members say.

I say go for it, is this your first mountain bike? Make sure the bike fits, then ride it until you kill it. When the bike starts to hold you back, is time to upgrade, or think about a new bike. Until then, this bike should do what you want.

see, i know nothing, thats why u should never take advice from me

Any reason you wouldn't go with Giant, Trek, or Gary Fisher? They make some good bikes in your range. I know the Giant and Trek have very different feels as I got the Trek and my husband got the Giant (the Trek frame fit me better). If you haven't looked into these, you should try. (Unless of course you pay a big import charge for being in Canada)

well the import fees do hurt a little, but i like the service and warranties i get with norco. Besides it's too hard to find trek, or gary exct. type bikes especially in sudbury. Pretty much the only ohter choices i can get with god choices are specialized, raleigh, bolie, and a few other i can't remember off hand.

go with the Norco...they make solid rides...and they have awsome support if **** breaks. Americans haven't been enlightened to the quality of Norco products yet. (No offence)

U know it! i know a kid who through his bike in front of a truck so that he could get a new one, and he did! thats how i knew of theier support.

fubar5

Well crap like that is what makes companies stop giving good service. So your friend did the whole cycling community a disservice. I hope he likes his new bike.

urbanking

me too, i agree with u fubar.

KleinMp99

punch your friend in the face for me ...k?

urbanking

Well his warranty is up, so i'll just throw his bike in front of a truck again, that should hurt him even more.

Didja get a bike yet?

I'd say get the NORCO and ride it until it dies, and then get something else and ride it until it dies, and then start over! $450 CND is a great deal for that bike! That's like $282 USD

Replace parts as they break or as you get some more $$$$.

Just save enough money to buy a decent helmet!

Urban King, the wolverine is a NICE freeriding bike, it has the frame, and from the looks of it the shocks are nice. For your skill thats a nice bike.

Freerider

urbanking

Cool. Do you have experiance with it????

a2psyklnut

Hey, you and Freeride need to hook up. You're both from the same place.
