Mongoose Tyax Sport- Yes or No?

[RudoJ]

Hey to all of you.

 

I'm probably one of the view hubbers with no bike at the moment. Taking long time to make up my mind. Saw this bike over the weekend for R4000-00 and from what I've learnt so far on the hub, specs arent bad at all. so here they are, and if you would be so kind to look at specs and say yay or nay.

[Mileage]

I've got a Tyax Super bought in November. Done a few thousand k's since then with no problems.

The back tyre sidewall split open a while back and I've replaced the back brake pads but other than that really good.

 

Tyax Sport is slightly lower spec but seems to be similar except for derailers (I have x5) and hydraulic discs
