Advantages: nearly everything including the frame, forks, brakes, wheels and 1.5 big headset Disadvantages: the shimano alivio front mech and the double chainrings on the front
I had owned an older model of the cannondale chase 2, i think it was the 2004 one and it was excellent, only flaw being the avid cable disc brakes which i had to upgrade. I had had this for a while and thought of getting a new bike so i looked at the cannondale range as i liked my old one so much. I saw the chase 2 2007 model and fell in love with it.
Among the strengths is the chase hardtail frame which is chunky, made from cnc machined 6061 aluminium which is mega strong and has nice simple graphics.

Advantages: Grip, durability and looks Disadvantages: Costly
The Panaracer Fire XC Pro has proven itself to be one of the wisest, if costly, upgrades to my Cannondale Jekyll. In our murky winter (and summer) months you need a tyre that will cope in the claggy conditions, providing grip and shedding mud quickly and efficiently, but not so aggressive in tread pattern that it hinders progress on fire-roads and tarmac ? The Panarcaer achieves this and is one of the most striking designs available, with its white writing emblazoned on the sidewall.
It has performed admirably in the mulched leaves of the Dorking Redlands Trails; it kept my fatigued body moving on the punishing mud, roots, rock gardens, hairpins and drop-offs of the Afan Skyline Trail and has dug me out of the sticky Cotswold clay. A true all-round performer that is perfectly suited to our changeable climate.
There are a great ...
Advantages: Packed with features and technology! Disadvantages: Battery life is a bit short when using 3G/UMTS
