I have a Gary Fisher hard tail mountain bike series 6066 with 29" rims.
Shocks are Fox F29
I Like this bike alot. The only thing that I have had trouble with is the Bontrager rims. The spec on them is tight when trying to put a thinner tire
if you ride it on the road. I went to a wider tire and now have no trouble.
I purchased the bike for riding on dirt trails but I liked it so much on pavement
thats where I ride it most of the time. Cost of the bike was 1,300 dollars but its worth every penney to me.
I also purchased two other bikes, one road bike and one really good mountain bike just for the hard riding dirt trails. Mongoose teocali comp and a
Bianchi raceing bike. The Mongoose kicks butt on dirt and the Bianchi is smooth and fast on pavement. So I have several bikes that give me good workouts and change my routine to avoid getting bored. I'm from AZ.
so I ride all year long.
