We are very up front and open with folks and sometimes will tell someone after speaking with them they are better off with the help of a local shop. That's not to discount the value of buying a bike at a shop or taking your bike there to have final assembly done. We've sold thousands of bikes now direct to consumers and most do their own assembly with little to no issues. One of the better 8-speed cassettes is the Shimano HG51 11-32T, look it up on Amazon for more info on it.Ĭlick to expand.Here's a good thread on what to expect when you receive a bike from ordering one online from Airborne (and generally other direct companies ship their bikes in the same state of pre-build). Avoid anything that say's "mega-range" or has a large gap between the number of teeth on the rear gear cogs. The giant has a much better rear cassette in the way it transitions from one cog to another. The 7-speed freewheel cannot be upgraded. Also able to upgrade the cassette down road to a 9 or 10-speed (but it will require other parts too). Cassettes are easier to replace, and are pretty much the norm for any high quality mountian bike. Do not get the Nevada 1.9 because it uses a 7-speed freewheel instead of a cassette. However, you shouldn't have a problem selling them if you want to upgrade bikes. They are intro bikes, and you will probably find yourself limited by their capabilities. The Giant and the 1.7 are good bikes and comparable. If the Fuji is from online and you're assembling it, there are much better bikes for the money. If they are both available from LBS and will get support from the LBS, I'd go with the Funi 1.7. Would like to have one that will handle that race and allow me some regular trail riding in my area. Riding back ground: For the past two years ive rented a bike to do a race that includes a mountian bike section and i love it. Revel 29er (2014) - Bikes | Giant Bicycles | United States Id like to believe i could get the Nevada 1.9 29er with the price point of 489.įuji Bikes | MOUNTAIN | SPORT - HARDTAIL | NEVADA 29 1.9įuji Bikes | MOUNTAIN | SPORT - HARDTAIL | NEVADA 29 1.7 The Fuji has longer travel on the fork (100mm) compared to Giant(80mm) but i hear good things about the giant name. The Nevada 1.9 is best priced at 489 with the other two at 550 but i dont know enough about brand and components to decide. I am looking at the Giant Revel 29er vs the Fuji Nevada 1.9 or 1.7 29er. With that if anyone could give me some insight on which bike would be best for the money i would greatly apreciate it! Any advice is apreciated! I am looking to get into riding more and will be buying my first bike soon.
