I bought a new saint for my knolly. Then I found out they would fix it for free. So now I have a saint on the front of my bottlerocket. It's a hell of an upgrade.
Man, you hit it right on the head. I've broken my elbow, fractured my lower back, and won a race on my knolly. All it haa needed in the last 4 years is bearings and brake pads. It's a beast. |
Fanatyk is great, they fixed up my bike and got me back on the hill in like 20 minutes when I decided to see how whistler dirt tasted.
You have a similar setup to me, I have a trek Session 10, and a bottle rocket.
Obviously the session 10 will pound straight through even the most unholy of terrain, and it will soak up bumps the size of a full size truck without a flinch. BUT I find myself grabbing the bottlerocket more often than I grab my trek. It's just more fun, I have more fun riding my little bottlerocket on the edge, rather than pushing my limits on the trek.
On the bottle rocket I cruise around and ride a lot more mellow, and the lack of travel forces you to ride smooth and it's so light that you can huck it around. Whereas the trek is just good for days when I want to ride super hard, and chase faster times down A-line.
The trek is also good for breaking both your hands on as I did 2 years ago.
