 Depends on perspective. I used to think this too, but my son is almost 8 now, and while bikes are expensive, he isn’t interested in playing hockey like I did, so if you aren’t buying hockey gear, plus not paying hockey league dues, a good bike and season pass isn’t likely that different in cost, either more or less. All depends on perspective.

Note: all kids in this article have nicer bikes than me. By a long shot.

 @VwHarman: Same camp. Riding was my son’s main sport and the cost of it not much different than others. Well worth it.
  • 3 0
 Well, if you buy a second hand jr bike you can usually resell it for the same or close to the same price the next year. So the cost is only maintenance.
  • 60 0
 Seeing 16 year olds with full kashima makes me reconsider my choice of parents.
  • 6 0
 @VwHarman: agreed. If my young ones develop a passion for it I'll pay that price to help their growth. Things like biking, tennis, swimming, golf, etc can be enjoyed for your entire life but I think its best if you develop the love early. If my older brother hadn't given me his older but good quality mountain bike when I was a kid I probably wouldn't be riding today.

 @VwHarman: I do the occasional XC race. I'm always blown away by the bikes ridden by kids and I have a decent bike.

 They're definitely on different sides of the sizing charts, but the perspective is also way different. Devinci guy is standing with his toe under the rear tire, Intense girl is standing 3' back.

 we've come to a time where a size small in many brands is nearly or past 1200mm, with 29" wheels and 160mm suspension, so no way that's gonna look proportional to a 1.65m rider

 I think it's fair to say that 5' girls and 6'2 or over guys have a difficult time buying bikes that fit. Only in the last year or two have I started to see bikes with numbers that make sense for me, and at 6'2 I'm small-tall, not TALL.

 @ObviousAlias: sorry, fat fingered the button. No harm intended.

Er, PB maybe we could make them for human sized fingers not tree frogs?

 @L0rdTom: Agreed. As someone who is 6'3", finding a decent size that does not hang you off the rear when your seat post is up can be difficult.

 @L0rdTom: I'm 6'1" and can ride my kids xs. Not comfortable but possible. Wheelbase is only 2 inches shorter than my Mega size L.
  • 1 0
 @jmhills: I am 6'2" and I ride an XL transition sentinel and it might be a bit to big for me. Transition, with my experience, has had some pretty spot on sizing, they also go all the way up to XL

 I'm standing back from my m16, i'm 5 foot 2 and this is a small frame.

 @jmhills: @L0rdTom: Should I buy a downhill bike? I'm 6 foot 4 and still growing at 17. I'd like to have only an enduro bike, to be able to access more trails and whatnot. But on the other hand, most enduro bikes are way too short for my liking. I would not at all mind using a chairlift of hiking my bike, and prefer more protective and less pedal-friendly pads. PB what's your opinion and personal experience?
  • 1 0
 @Hayden2248MTB: as a shortarse at 6'2 it's hard to say for sure, but I'd try test ride some large reach and long chain stay bikes. Many bikes are coming out with 530mm reach or more. The new stumpy Evo is a great example, but if you've got the dollars then something like a Nicolai geometron might suit better. Would be great to see a round up of current options for non-medium riders @brianpark @mikelevy.

Whether you buy a DH or enduro is up to you and your trails, and also what your friends ride, but personally I'd say if you aren't racing DH, an enduro sled will do an excellent job on DH tracks, with far more versatility.
  • 1 0
 @Hayden2248MTB: I do not ride an enduro or DH bike and never have. I might not be the right person to ask on this one. I would look through the classifieds section and buy a used XL of some sort. There is no reason to spend a bunch of money on a new bike that you are going to outgrow.
  • 1 0
 @Hayden2248MTB: Keep in mind. Even if the DH bike feels more natural under you, you are MASSIVELY limited in what/where you can ride with it. It needs to be a park or shuttle access. If thats right out your back door and thats all your ride, then go for it. If you don't have access to that stuff super easily then no point in only having a DH bike.
  • 1 0
 @Hayden2248MTB: go rent one, you may find a big enduro has more room then a DH. The seat angle on a DH makes the reach number on paper not at all like the enduro.

also: what's with all the too long chains? *bike setup neurosis triggered*
  • 1 0
 That "Scream" Josh Bender right there on the Banshee!!!
  • 2 2
 Pretty much any wide range transmission will look like it has too long a chain when on the smallest cog. Once again I made the mistake of shortening my chain because, like you, I could not accept to have a chain that was too long. It resulted on very poor shifting especially on the biggest cogs. I pit back 2 of the 3 links I took out and dremeled my B-screw to have my upper jockey wheel sit close enough. I should have put back the 3 links since even this didn't restore the flawless I had with a "too long" chain, on I only rock a 11-46 so imagine on a 10-50.

 Based om durability and ruggedness of design combined with shredability, this article tells me what you want to own is a Banshee or a Wilson.

I have had two Banshees and a Wilson. All of them still ride under new owners. Two of them were in Whistler 2013.

Sold off the last Banshee Spitfire V2 (-13) this week - maybe I should have kept it.. they are going up in value again now that you can mullet them. If my new bike wasn't a Knolly I might have betted it might outlast it. Smile

 We hear a lot about the need for bigger bikes but I see also a lot of riders needing small bikes, especially with the rise of longer bikes and big wheels. Maybe some 26 XXS park bike won't be so bad... I guess tall people are more vocals than small ones

 The YETI guy is throwing a White pride hand signal, pretty sure. Isn't it. Tell me I am wrong

 Pretty much. The days are long over where some dickish troll can be all "It's an 'ok' sign. Relax dude!", and have anyone buy that BS. F*** that guy and his yeti.

 That black Banshee is a Darkside, not a Rune v2. Easy mistake to make.

 @crysvb: Tons of Evils over here on the island.. strange that the mainland see's less. Same w Forbidden's - round here every 3rd bike is druid. Kinda like Commencal over here - as in - there are none. Likely to do w dealer networks.

 External armor back in style or it’s the rental noobs....

 It is the way. Not of the noobs or jerry's. Fully back in style. Began last year. Safety is never a bad style, but now it's cool.

 the only external armour I see here is chest protectors and neck braces, which have always been external as far back as I can remember.
