It's great when you planned to climb like that too.

So stop bitching. ;] I bet if you hadn’t rode a mountain bike for 10 years Hora you wouldn’t believe how good A mid price Mountain bike is – and that’s because of the trickle down from very very high end products £700.00 hardtails with decent stoppers and gears are because a disc brake 10-11 years ago cost nearly £500.00 including hub.

I bet if you stepped off the upgrade train for a few years you could easily step back on and kit will be very similar still. Theres only soo many engineering shims.....manufacturing tolerance improvements that can go into a bike product.... then again Mazz are polishing up old kit for next year...
