'2008 MODEL. LIGHT FRAME AND FAST ROLLING TUBELESS TYRES'
Strengths: Carbon frame,xt and xtr set up. Good set of forks with avid juicy 7 brakes (Easy to maintain and bleeding is simple)
Weaknesses: Can't see any so far. Seat could be changed for comfort i suppose but its not too bad.
Overall: I could not decide weather to buy another alloy frame or go for carbon. i waited 3 months,searching reviews from all forums. Had a few negatives but alot of positives. So i decided to buy carbon. Best move ive made. Good fame and set up. comfy forks and very fast.
Strengths: it's compact, fits well, very bright and easy to remove if you have to nip in the shops.
Weaknesses: None really. i would say though, that it would have been perfect if this light could have come with a quick release bracket. The rubber band the light fixes on with can be fiddley at times.
Overall: Pleased i bought this light allthough it cost over £120. but i suppose you can't put a price on safety.
Strengths: strong shoe,laces and velcro strap for snug fit
Weaknesses: i get discomfort in bothfeet arches about 10 mins into a ride. i've tried to add/remove padding which did not work. now trying to wear the shoes abit slacker to see if that works. mind you it is my first time using spd's so it might just mean me getting used to them.
Overall: If the discomfort goes away then i'll be very happy with the shoes. :-)
