Was at Makro Woodmead yesterday, only saw mediums. So not confirming it, but the evidence is not looking good.

Hi Guys

 

I'm in the market for a mountain bike and i see the Cannondale range is quite good. Does anyone know if any CT stores has any available and which branches.

 

My height is 1.65m, should i buy the small or medium?

Well the fact that they only imported mediums I would go with medium .

I was at Makro recently and it seems that irrespective of the brand, i.e. Totem, Raleigh, Cannondale,

all of the adult bicycles are only available in one size and that is medium.

someone mentioned they only come in mediums and i think you might be a tad late...especially for the Trail 5. might still be some 7's around not sure. they sold like hotcakes. Unless there is more stock on the way I don't know. There was only 1 trail 5 left in Cape town at the cape gate makro a few weeks ago.

  'sorry, only 29 inches available'...

Ok cool, Thanks. Is there a big difference in the 5 to the 7. Seems 7 is only available, anyone who knows their parts and specs, do you still think the 7 for 4k is still worth it for a beginner in mountain biking, mostly on road.

Does the brake system make a big difference between the 5 and the 7 and is the 7 still good enough for a casual rider.

Its the same frame which is very good and received excellent reviews. For a beginner this will be a perfect bike and as the components wear out you can then upgrade to a higher spec. component.

 

But in the meantime get the bike and enjoy your time outside.

Thanks for the advice, how long do you think the components would need to be replaced.

Thanks for the advice, how long do you think the components would need to be replaced.

Depends on mileage, how hard you ride, riding conditions, maintenance and cleaning schedule etc.

If you look after the bike, clean and regular maintenance you will get good mileage out of the stock components.

Thanks for the advice, how long do you think the components would need to be replaced.

Short answer: It depends. 

 

Long answer: It depends on your treatment of them, where you'll ride (mud / wet / tar etc) your expected daily / monthly mileage, your servicing standards and your treatment of the parts as a whole (abuse etc)

 

Should last a fair while, going on average user treatment.

Thanks Guys, appreciate the advice

I went with a ballie who bought one. 

 

His previous bike was a very very very old 3x6 ralleigh, and you weren't able to lock out the front suspension and lets not mention wheelsize. 

 

He is over the moon and is requesting regular tag alongs where he barely rode his previous bike. 

 

Like everyone is saying, more people on the road, more awareness.
