KimK__ Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Advice needed please! I've started off with an avalanche reflex 2.0 and we've done just shy of 600km but the bike is giving me endless grief. The chain keeps slipping off the smallest cog, gear changes are delayed and clunky, and it's just not coming right no matter how often I take it to the cycle lab workshop. A huge crash clearly didn't help. I want to get another bike in the region of 10-12k....yes I know that's not a lot...and I'd really appreciate any advice. Thank you!

RobynE Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Some options with decent components from BH Marketplace but don’t know what size you’ll need https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/796592/merida-big-nine-800 https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/646365/silverback-stride-expert-m-2022-12spd-judy https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/791155/scott-scale-950

I had the same one, briefly. Unfortunately it’s a very k*k bike. KimK__ 1
Jensie Posted March 3 Posted March 3 1x12speed Deore Groupset. Nice Bike https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/797550/titan-racing-drone-pro Cheaper option but a good looking bike https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/794953/pre-owned-gt-comp-zaskar-m-bm10370-2023 Both have got decent gears so shifting wont be a problem

RobynE Posted March 3 Posted March 3 That’s a very heavy hardtail with a lot of entry level components and I can’t find a thing about it online.
