We will be in touch
Hi
My 2nd bike is currently a spec hardrock from 2009 which is like to replace
Im looking at the 2016 acid or attention sl (29ers)
I prefer the look of the attention sl especially in green but the acid seems to have a few better components like the brakes
I guess my question is, do you think the acid worth the extra £40 bearing in mind it doesnt look to me as nice as the sl?
Also im thinking the 17" for me with 32 leg and 5ft8 looks like the right size?
Thanks
Christian
I have a 2013 acid (26" flavour so can help with sizing). Looking at your choices I would be tempted to go attention as it has the recon fork, basic, but has served me well and being a rockshox it easy to service etc. And if I am not mistaken the stanchions are 32 vs the manitou's 30. Other than that I don't see anything that would make me pick one over the other component wise. Save the £40 and buy new tyres with it 😉
thanks for your input... so the rockshox on the attention sl might be stiffer?
hmm interesting.
any other views please?
