Advantages: Superb looking and repectable brand Disadvantages: slightly uncomfortable ride
...I must admit this bike is by far the best I've ever had even if it isn't perfect. I recently brought this bike for around £500 and although I've never looked back as to be honest I've got a bike from one the the most respected bike brands in the world.
So far I've only used the bike off road once and i must say i was reasonably disappointed.This is because a felt the 4 bar linkage system suspension was rather disappointing. When i ride this bike on the road the suspension is very capable of providing a ver comfortable ride however if like me you like to cycle off road now and then I must say this bike is not made for it.
That however does not mean this is poor diamondback as that is just not possible. It looks absolutely fantastic and for £500 i don't think you will get another bike from a brand with this much respect with Manitou 6...

Advantages: Looks Good, Smooth Gears, Hardcore, Not Too Light Or Too Heavy, Comfy Ride, Good Grip Disadvantages: Brakes Should Be Hydraulics, Forks Should Have Slightly More Travel
...The Chucker is now available online at around £320 in the black colour or £350 for the blue (which looks better in real life than it does in the pictures).
The Chucker handles jumps really well and, although the bash ring [the front part where the gear change happens- normally has about 3 cogs in it] is not best for speed & long distance road riding (I managed 40 miles in a day) but keeps the chain on during jumps. All the SRAM parts [all the parts to do with gears - changers, derraillier...] are capable of a lot of thrashing about and have a really smooth change. The rear derraillier [the mechanism that moves the chain from one gear to another] even stayed together with my friend jumping on it.
It is perfect for stunts as the front & forks are not too light (as in the Diamondback Groove) so you do not fall backwards during jumps...

Advantages: light, durable, simple design Disadvantages: small bearings, no movable side plate
...This popular mid-sized auto-lock pulley has become quite popular umong wall climbers, soloists and rescue teams for good reasons, however be aware that its use is often limited.
There are two sides to the simplicity that this device offers.
Its basic construction (no moving side plate, small wheel etc) makes it perfect for recreational use- going soloing at the local crag, putting up a slackline or stocking a rescue kit.
However it goes without saying that when most of us are looking for a device of this kind- weight just isnt such an issue. If its a question of soloing there are much lighter (and safer) devices on the market. While if we are really going to haul any real loads (bodyweight in rescues or an average sized pig on a wall) the mini-traction is both too lightweight and slimmed-down technically. Anyone with experience...
