mvrk777 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Hi All I'm a newbie and really excited about becomingA mountain biker. Because I'm new to the sport I was a little cautious about bying a bike and after some shopping around and a lot of questioning and of course reading a lot questions posted on the hub forums, I settled for a SCOTT aspect 30. For me this was good value for money and to my limited knowledge has decent spec for a first bike. Is anyone familiar with this bike and was it a good buy. Is there anything I should watch out for, any known weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark ellis Posted January 1, 2011 Share Welcome ! Don't know the bike but have owned Scotts in the past and it is a quality product, sure you will love the bike the more you ride it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weight Weenie Posted January 1, 2011 Share Looks good - Only 2 suggestions - Get some sort of tape to put where the cables rub the frame- Have the shop do a tubeless conversion or atleast have them put some slime in the tubes so you dont have to bother with punctures. Now hit some singletrack, rinse, lube and repeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 1, 2011 Share I think the most important thing you have done is to go into MTBing with a basic setup. Biggest mistake you could have made was to splash out some serious dosh on a high end ride. Reason why I say this is that as time goes by you will get to understand your bike, the role each component plays and what of it all is most important for you. Your an individual and your riding style & terrain will influence your future upgrades - and thats the most fun Also look at learning how to service some of your bike yourself, it will not only save you cash but it will allow you to understand your bike better and also get you out of a fix when your 40km from your car. Enjoy and welcome to your new addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
