How much more ?

Hi all I have an option on a 26er Scott Scale full carbon with XTR. Obviously a second hand bike I offered R4500 is it fair? What other info do you guys need ? Thanks in advance !

Thanks for this info.. Will go and have a look at the indoor trainers ! The current bike I have the adjusments are large so thanks!

i spin from 9:30 pm onwards... Dont ride my bike that time of night in the winter .. Brrrr....

Thanks !

Hi All Im still new on the forum so mods move this post if it is in the wrong place.. So I started training for the Crater Cruise on the 12th of Oct (half Marathon). I dont have time except on weekends to get on my bike and ride so I stared spinning on a friends bike at my house. The rewards thus far from spinning is worth it ! I am interested buying my onw spinning bike but not sure what to look for in a bike what is good and what is not and how much is enough to pay ? Any advice please... Thanks

Hi Thanks for the info, I will try and find a good bike shop to tune the gears the guys in Potchefstroom I have used are not experts in my humble opinion... Is there some kind of tutorial available to do this yourself ? Someting someone can remember posted on the forum ?

Ok, thanks... Will take the bike to the local bike shop to have it fixed... What can I excpect to pay for a upgrade fro deore to XT... is it in the range of R1000 or R10 000 ? (As I say a newbee)

The work but not as efficintly as I would hope.. Shifts take up to 5 or 10 seconds... SOme times if I shift nothing happens so I shift again and then it shifts one gear...

Hi All I am still new here (and to MTB) so some advice please.. I am looking to upgrade the gears on my bike, they seem to be the weakest link... The question is: 1. What is the range of gears Shimano make.. XT XTR etc and from worst to best what is out there..? Sort of a hierarchy... 2. The second part of the question.... Is it wort the money to upgrade or to save for a better bike.. Current bike is a Silverback Saturn (upgraded from a OLD Alpine..) Any advice will be welcome !
