HowardSteele Posted January 13, 2018 Share Pretty close call is there a price Difference? Specs pretty close...Wheel hubs both sealed bearings ....Specialized has 120mm front shock as apposed to 100mm And a 2x11 setup Pretty much a personal call Toyota or Nissan.I'd probably go Specialized although i drive A Nissan:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mRYellow Posted January 13, 2018 Share Well, not many or any reviews out on the Merida. I know and trust this to be a knowledgeable community, hence my seeking guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasilvarsa Posted January 13, 2018 Share But does it make it a better bike?Yes (Drive Train Wise it is) It's easier to ride a 1X than a 2X for obvious reasons. Also a 2x drive train is now considered obsolete. And very Expensive to Upgrade Later.What is the weight of the 2017 Camber Comp ? (Can't find it anywhere)The Spez Camber Expert is a Better bike than the Merida and That's the one to get. 1X12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox3 Posted January 13, 2018 Share I can't see tne fork specs on the Spez link. How long you been riding? The thing is a 1X setup can always come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
