      @@willgreenfieldwithout a doubt. With all the people who don’t want their old 26” mountain bikes nowadays I’m picking up quite a few 26” mountain bikes, restoring them and shredding them like crazy. Having a blast doing it too. 👍

    I recently picked up a 2006 full suspension Cannondale Rush for $100. I figured I’d update this bike some since my main rides are hardtails. I’ve already gotten some nasty comments from some people but I think it’s great fun and I do really enjoy riding a 26” again. You never know, I might make it my main mountain bike daily ride.

    I have a 26' fuji nevada 1.9 that i want to modernise a bit myself ,changes include replacing the 11 to 40 cassette 8 speed to 11 to 46 9 speed,its a 3x contemplating keeping it or changing to 2x,changing the coil sprung fork to air suspension with remote lockout,and running an external dropper post!

    • @coolcycles
      @coolcycles Год назад +1

      I'd go x10. I don't know about x9, but if you choose Shimano, there are front derailleur levers, you can switch from 2x to 3x by a small switch on their underside. That way you can change the large chainring for e.g. a 32t bashring any time you need the extra ground clearance.
