mike88 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Hi Guys,Mtb got stollen last week, 2006 black Mongoose Amasa Comp.Anyways, no use crying over spilt milk.Insurance going to cover me for my losses @ max value of 10K.Got 2 quotes, 1 is for a silverback sola 4 and the other for a GT karakoram elite.Silverback has tubeless conv+bottle and cages+tubeless repair kit for just undet 10K.GT mtb only quote came 2 10k.I just cant decide whether to go for the gt or silverback.Please help cuz i need a bike asap!!!!!!O yes, the silverback has a air-fork.Thanks in advance guys and girls.
Mntboy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Definitely the Silverback! Huge fun to ride and usually well specced as well.
shaper Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 think you already know the answer when you said air fork !! Silverback
mike88 Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Is air fork really that much better than a coil, if taking the weight out of the equation??Popped seals and leaking air is the 1st thing that comes 2 mind when thinking about compressed air.
Smurfy Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I ride Silverback Sola 1.They are awesome bikes, great components.
PoiZoNouZ Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Can you just go buy it already? The question re the forks is non existent, service once every 2500km or so and enjoy the lighter weight and plushness.
NeoOne Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 For that price point you could get a better specced GT Zaskar in used section of classifieds. If it has to be new, then hands down Silverback, else the lighter Zaskar is an option
scubes Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Silverback. I have the Sola 3 with air fork. Nice bike.
MTB-BFK Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Can you just go buy it already? The question re the forks is non existent, service once every 2500km or so and enjoy the lighter weight and plushness.great word. I am going to try to use it today as much as possible!
