janetfrangs@gmail.com Posted January 28, 2019 Share Hi. I am looking to change bikes - possibly to a 29er. I am currently riding Mongoose Canaan - but tired of the linkage issues that I continually experience. I was considering one of the many GT mountain bikes and I mentioned this to a cyclist who said no way - they are rubbish and you will be laughed at. Well not that I care about people laughing but are GT's really rubbish - I am talking entry level here eg Zaskar... don't have huge bucks to buy a beautiful bike Would value any 'brand' expert views.

CAAD4 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Nothing wrong with GT. What does the bike snob ride? I think I can guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grantc Posted January 28, 2019 Share The cyclist you spoke to doesn't know what they're talking about. I ride a Zaskar and love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will upset some diehard GT fans with a post like this. So go get one, you wont regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted January 28, 2019 Share Your friend, like many have mentioned, is clueless. GT as far as I know is the ONLY brand to hold a win in both the EWS and DH world cup piloted by the same rider in one season. If that's not cool, I dunno what is.

etienne_jordaan Posted January 28, 2019 Share There is nothing wrong with GT. A legendary Brand with a lot of history and pedigree. Besides the point, but they have their fare share of World Cup titles, XC, DH , BMX, you name it and they’ve been around the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
