A buddy of mine had the same problem - he kept breaking spokes on his rear wheel. I temporarily swapped it out for something more all-mountain and he hasn't broken a spoke since.

HardRocks aren't made to accommodate a 5" fork, so you run the risk of breaking the frame at the headtube/downtube junction if you ride it too hard.

$600 will buy you a fantastic bike that's a...

The frames are all pretty similar in terms of geometry and build quality. I'd pick up the one with the best components. I'd also stick with mechanical disc brakes as they are cheaper and easier to...

Good forks can be purchased, used, for $200-$300. New you're looking at $350+ for something decent. They're pretty spendy because they're a very important part of the bike, and they often have a...
