been looking for a full suspension bike now for a while.
I already own a HT which is a good bike bearing in mind its only 12 months old and just had a new sram bottom bracket and now the rear what ever you call it has just packed up and luckily I was just cleaning it and not on my way to work!! the rear cassette now spins in both directions??? (speacialized carve pro 2013)

Ive been using my HT for commuting to work and got fed up of swopping the tyres for cannonck of a weekend, so I thought NEW bike!!!

im looking for a full suspension bike for no more than £2500. im 6ft 4 inches tall nearly and love the 29 geometry. ive tested the giant anthem x 29er £2000 and I must admit it was nice but lots of people have told me to go for something more fun like.

this Saturday and sunday at Cannock leisure lakes have a demo day and im going to try out a few cube sting and stereo.

I phoned allterrain cycles today and I know they are Giant specialist but they told me to stay clear of cube and buy Giant!!! "cube can be a nitemare to service and get parts?" I know they are going to try and sell giant more but thought I would ask!

on the 15th specialized have a demo day at Cannock and because of their service and only being 3 mile down the road I see myself buying a stumpjumper Fsr for a little extra! which is a lovely looking bike.

I don't mind giving other manufacturers ago but they need to offer the same warranty- life on frame Not 2 years.

Hang on, you want to use a full sus to commute or have I read that wrong? Nothing wrong with cube. The 'parts' are universal on any bike so don't worry about that you'll soon be spending all your spare cash on upgrading them anyway. 😉

I think he wants the HT for commuting and the full suss for fun.

I have heard rumours about frame failures on some Cube bikes. Giant have a lifetime warranty on frames if I remember rightly.
