Hi everyone ive just bought my first Mt Bike,a Felt FS 850.Ive done road and track cycling but after a long break i decided to try Mt Biking to get fit and have some fun.
Can anyone tell me how my Felt FS850 rates.Now i know its not a Cannondale or Trek or something fancy but at this stage i want to use it for some offroad fun with the view to possible XC racing at club level.
Heres the specs : Alloy 7000,with spinner grind 423susp forks, alivio shifters, alivio front der, deore rear der, shimano 8 speed, Magura levers, Magura Julie Discs.
The place told me it would be easier to upgrade gears etc than buy a bike with better gearing but no discs and upgrade the breaking to discs later.
What do you guys/girls think??? Any suggestions,ive ridden it once and it felt pretty good.
Thanks...
