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: tough yet smooth Disadvantages: a horrible yellow
...The best in sprung mtbs, The Idrive is so smooth and the bike is so silky that this bike is a pleasure to ride anywhere.
The research I did into this bike before buying it warned of problems with mud in the Idrive system, my friends told me this was a bike designed for california and not Suffolk. I bought it any way.
I have covered 3000 miles trough Suffolk mud and on roads. It has never let me down and is quite the smoothest bike I have ever ridden. Tough yes. Durable seems to be so far. A great all rounder both uphill and down. It is downhill that this bike really shines it has control and the judy shocks really do keep the front in line but through it all the Idrive really keeps the drive on the ground and it really is a competitive machine.
Well worth a try and well worth the money....

...The xcr 4000 Idrive is the smoothest fully suspended MTB I have ever had the good fortune to ride. It is the Idrive system that gives this bike a long travel suspension ride that moves well and is clever enough not to sap any of your forward energy as you ride. I have used this bike on road and off road in both the dry and wet and the Idrive has never let me down.
The price you pay includes shimano deore chainset and shift. judy front shocks and vanilla fox rear.
The package is strong yet light and is therefore excellent value.
The balance of the bike is spot on. It is the comfort of the bike that will sell it to most.
If you only have £600 to spend on a mountain Bike then this is the best value you will find....

WHY ?

Why, you might ask, would anyone want a NEWlink USB 2.0 IDE & SATA Hard Drive Enclosure ? And even more to the point, why would such a person buy one, admit it and then go ahead and review it?

This is a bargain that i couldn't pass up without buying. 1TB should keep me going for several years and more.
I bought this hard drive for £101 and it has been a pleasure to use. It's a doddle to set up and install and the fast rate of transfer makes more
I've bought two of these drives now and am very impressed. On opening the box you'll find the following: The drive itself, power supply, USB cable and an instruction leaflet.
The drive feels solid and well built, although the aluminium case does... more
I bought this memory stick recently from Currys at £27.99, which I think was fair. I was shown 3 memory sticks with 1GB of memory. One for £29.99 with a docking station and one for £24.99 which looked, in a word, crap.
Although this memory stick may more
