About this Shred:
This is an excellent bike for the little shredder in your family. This was my daughter's bike for a few years. She has now moved on to a larger frame. It's so hard to find a "real" mountain bike for younger riders, but this one does the trick. I upgraded several of the components to higher end mountain bike parts. The hydraulic brakes are a huge upgrade over the standard mechanical brakes. Since 20" tires are tough to peddle through real trails I increased the range of the rear cassette to 34T, so she could spend less time pushing up big hills. To help with the shifting, I replaced the grip shifters with downhill spec'd Shimano Saint trigger shifter and short cage derailleur. I've set it up to work with the 6 speed cassette, but it is a 9 speed shifter/derailleur. Finally, I swapped out the mild mannered tires for something way more grippy in the Tioga's. All-in-all, this is an awesome bike that served her well. She has ridden it at several of the bike parks in the mid atlantic, such as Showshoe, Blue Mountain, Cranx, and Spring Mountain, and it never failed her. Time to pass this beatuy on to the next pre-Grom generation.
