Hi All

 

I am looking for an entry level bike and have been looking at a Merida Big Seven (Cable Disc) vs a TFS 100 Matts (Hydraulic brakes) 

 

Which would you recommend i begin with? 

 

Thank you for your help

 

Regards

Gabby

All things being equal I would go the hydraulic brake option. Ride both and see what feels comfortable. Also consider 2nd hand, being in Gauteng plenty of bikes available and could get a really good deal on a higher spec second hand bike if you know somebody who can assist is checking the bike.

 

Enjoy the ride

Hi Gabby and welcome to the hub and cycling.

 

In the entry level price range you can generally do a lot better second hand. If you let us know your location, budget and height, TheHub will be able to make loads of recommendations.
