Hi hubbers, still learning so please excuse me if I get a term wrong . I think the spring loading or spring in my back derailleur has broken. Can this be fixed/replaced or would I need to buy a new derailleur? Thanks.

See title

On buying one

excellent. i'm almost sold.

Great stuff, did u get ur discount?

Hi there, haven't been on one but read lots of reviews coz I was also looking at one and most people are very happy with this bike, seems like it's one of the best entry-level 29ers you can get and very good value for money. There is also 2012 model which should be in stores already. Where did you see yours and what's the price?

Thanks Jan, how much did you pay for your matts lite?

Thanks Scott, I've had a look, looks like they only have Fuji's on clearance at the mo?

Thanks Jan, what bike did you get? Eish man, more options, more confusion... Here's another question, I know you might get good deals at Cajee's or Westdene but heard you should not go there for set-up and service. Is it then worth buying a good deal at these stores and then going to a decent bike shop for set-up and service?

Hairy, thanks for the advice. The Kahuna looks great. What's the difference between this and the Big Kahuna? Only problem is I'm up in Gauteng.

Thanks Jan and Wynand, Here's another. Saw a Schwinn Moab Elite yesterday on a clearance sale for R5700. You guys know anything about this bike. Components look pretty good at that price.

Thanks CyclingJan, funny that, I also rode in a parking lot. Was it at Bruce Reyneke? lol

I saw a Schwinn Moab Elite for 5700, about 800 less than bicycling's buyer's guide. Anyone have one or can recommend this? How does it compare with a Merida Matts TFS 300 eg (same price) and the other bikes in this price range. Specs look quite good compared to its competitors. Any advice please?

Hi there, would appreciate any advice. Been reading some of the posts and they have all been helpful. Im a newbie and getting into the game, so looking for either new or 2nd hand hardtail for tar and off-road mix, price between R4000 and R6000. Have seen the following and need advice to get closer to a good decision. GT Avalanche 2.0 2011 model: New, marked down from R6200 to R5000. Mongoose Tyax Super 2011: New, marked down from 6400 to 5000 Giant Talon 1, 29er 2012 New R6400, been reading about the big wheelies and being tall I can see tha possible advantages even on tar. 2nd hand Merida's for around 6 - 7000: A bit scared to go for 2nd hand though but understand I can get more bang for buck this way Which to go for, what to consider, what would u like to add? Thank you so much!

Hi Nicki, Where did you see the Matts Lite 1000 for R8500? That's a very good price. Please let me know.Thanks
