Kalahari Vegmot Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Yes, but remember that mongooser is an up and coming rider looking to make name for himself. So the upgrade might be a little more necessary than just an itch. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Mongooser Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 A lower price makes any purchase more appealing. But you still need a buyer who's looking. If you go low enough any would be downhiller might think about buying it. To be realistic though even if you drop it to 5k there's no guarantee they'll be lining up. I get the itch to upgrade. We can all relate to that. But is there any reason why you want to change bikes? I'd just ride the thing while I save up for the next bike. You'll never really be satisfied. You'll never have exactly what you want. And even when you think you do you'll always see something better. Its a bottomless pit. If you're not careful you could end up spending your last dime chasing better things when what you had to begin with was probably fine all along. Mmh. As I'm typing this I'm realizing how much I need to heed my own advice.I'm selling it because it doesn't meet my needs,I keep bottoming the thing out at races,I want a full dh bike again so i can be a bit more confident down the track,this bike only rly works for sending jumps and trail riding,but then again ive been drooling over a makulu for 3 years.
Eddy Gordo Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 You might have better luck if you break it up and sell it off in parts.

I would love to see you bottom out all that travel. Anyways.It might be a suspension problem. Or it might just not be dialled well enough to suit your weight or riding. There's no guarantee that a new bike will solve this. Try and address your suspension before you give up on the old girl.

BaGearA Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Split everything up and sell of one by one , will take longer but you will most likely get more money.
