Advantages: Strong Frame and Wheels, Tyres do not let go Disadvantages: None really!!
Bought this bike with my work cycle to work scheme.
A great buy from Halfords.
Excellent speck for the price and a very strong bike. I'm 18st 10 (253 ibs) and in my opinion this bike can handle this weight easily.
Great colour Black with like a Pearlesent White, Very good speck components, Shimano Deore derauillers and Sram Truvatic Crank.
Hydrolic Brakes and Discs. These will stop you instantly and do tare a little time to get used to or a flight over the bars could come along. These sqeak when covered in Muck and Water for the first few occasions, but when used this disapates.
Wheels are Alex DP17 rims, Strong, Maxxis Ingnitor Tyres Grip like hell.
Suntour XCR forks are ok for Cross Country riding, Not a great Jump fork, but hey Im no Jumper! (I think that if yoiu are lighter than me you could have some safe landings with these ...
Advantages: In-depth, one of the most realistic simulations available Disadvantages: Difficult, steep learning curve
I like any game that enables me to pretend I'm a multi-billionaire for a few hours each day. CapitalismII appealed to me for exactly that reason. Unfortunately for me I bought it when it came out in 2001 when I was about 11. I found going bankrupt within three years every time I played took the fun out of it for me, so put it to one side. Fairly recently I decided to try it again now that I'm armed with my Business Studies GCSE and the cruel realisation this is the only chance I'll have to be mega rich.
The game says it's for anyone aged 11+ on the box, or at least it does on my box. I've seen the same game with ratings of 15 and surprisingly a 3+. Please show me a three year old who could play this game. Anyway, an eleven year old me could successfully install the game and play through the tutorials. That was about it though. In ...
Advantages: Light, nice ride, good brakes Disadvantages: Chain should have shield,brakes bit squeeky,only availible from halfords
I brought this as my last bike, a saracen, died on me, it was really in a terrible mess! I brought this for £400 in Halfords, which is a pretty good deal for what you get. The technician was very helpful in there, otherwise I probably would have brought a bike from a Local Bike Store.
So, what do you get for your £400 here? Well, a light and strong bike, with hyrdaulics, 24 gears, thick tyres, nice wheels with strong spokes.
