Hi Guys, Quick one. I saw an old giant anthem S for sale for 1 500.00 the guy says the rear shock would need to be replaced or 'recon done'. What does 'recon done' mean and what would I roughly be paying to replace the rear shock? Worth buying or keep looking?

Hi Guys, Brand new to MTB and I want to do a bit of XC, I am 90kgs on a titan hard tail. Should I buy a shock pump? If so how do i figure out what pressure to pump it up to? (I accidentally let it all out because i thought it was too firm). Or should I just take it to the shop and let them pump it?. Thanks

I am looking at the same bike (titain trail 29r used 5 years later. How did you find it? Worth buying for 5000.00 today?

Thanks for the advice. I am definitely not a top.of the range kind if guy unfortunately my budget does not allow it. I guess I am after the best value for money no thrills options. I have been chasing down a few titans on at 6500/7000 but I would like to be all in by 7k and with a bike that will hold it's vaule. I road a few 26er and I much prefer the 29ers. I will mainly be do doing XC, touring jeep trails and single tracks. Suggestions on brands and models to watch out for would be greatly appreciated

Hi Guys, I am a newbie (ride dirt bikes) but now I want to get peddling. I am looking for a hardtail 29er large frame, hydraulic breaks and forks. I have been hunting the Facebook market place, bikehub and cycle lab's site amd can't seem to find anything in my budget. I have a strict budget of about 4k on the bike and another 1k for helmet, pump and maybe a rack for my polo. My question is am I being unreasonable with my budget? I have seen cycle lad has sold Scotts, dimondbacks and merida for well under 4k with all those features but for the last 3 weeks I haven't come close. If you have a old hardtail lying around I would be more than happy to take or off your hands. Thanks
