what's wrong with your Mojave 5.5 Disc?

but since you have money to throw, and you already have a nice base setup that i assume you're already comfy with, i say stick with it and upgrade your wheelset to 9-speed since you say you have to replace anyway, change to BB7 disc brakes, Thomson seatpost, and Deore groupset (FD, RD, Shifters etc) will do absolutely fine for your purposes since it's similar to mine. and i'm only on an "old" v-brakes system.

if you wanna buy new one, GT Ava 2.0 Disc brake lor. or Giant Yukon which i personally prefer. Kona Caldera/Blast/Cinder Cone also good stuff.

i dunno. man if i were you i'd just upgrade. cos you'd still upgrade even if you get a new one. the poison never ends

er...how much would the deore setup cost??

steady. i gonna hoot the black deore crankset.

for fashion show lor. a lot of ppl nowadays also buy for show only. just like the fascination with disc brakes when ppl don't even go fast enough to use them to their full potential.

 

[xypher]

Ya the disc brake part is true. many non-hardcore riders were doing well with the V-brake. Cosmetic factors are making teh disc brake more popular among those who 'dont need it'. But hey, no one can dictate how others spend their money.

Invitation extended to all riders from HWZ!

gt ava 3.0 2009 v-brakes is 550, disc is 650
Alpha_Hippo got it at C2C, but afaik they're already out or are running really low on 09 GT Avas already
you can try Soon Hock at AMK Ave 1 though, just opp Bishan Park 1, talk to the auntie, she offers slightly cheaper prices with freebies thrown in

as for gt ava 2.0 2008 disc brakes, brand new i'd say you're looking around $460+/-
there's not much diference in the 08 and 09 bikes actually.

sorry my bad, that was my estimate for 2nd hand. cos i didnt think there'd still be new stocks for 2008 GT Avas around

ok thanks for the info!
cos i saw a 2nd hand GT ava 2.0 disc brake at $450. i dunno if its worth at that price. i very gian to get it but i oredi got an old bike which i just spent some $150 on servicing and parts....

 

[Alpha_Hippo]

Hi bros of HWZ ..just asking if i had $500 what should i get or what should i upgrade of my Raleigh Mojave 5.5 Disc ?Current specs

Frame - Ralleigh Mojave 5.5 7005 Alu
Fork - Marzocchi MG400
Shifters - SRAM TRX
FD - Shimano Acera
RD - Shimano Tourney
Saddle - Fi:zi'k Gobi XM
Seatpost - Raleigh ...(Dunno just write there raleigh)
Brakes - Avid 5
Levers - Tektro (Don't know)
Wheelset dunno but all i know is that the rear wheel need to replace as the hub cage spoil
as it sunk in hence need to change hub but my hub is 28 spoke so hard to find so need to change rims...Haizzz


OR

What bike can i get but i need to sell my bike first so can u guys recommend me a decent price i can sell it for ??

650 won't get u a good kona , trek or specialised first hand. Giant I think yukon and it is really not bad. Otherwise, can try Jamis.

Do u intend to do off-road with it?
