Santa Cruz budget spec

74NZ (Jul 22, 2020 at 1:07)

crazy hey. I'm all for putting the spend into the frame and the bouncy bits but surely the difference between GX or even NX for an OEM is negligible, rather than a SuX. but it's free to a good home, I'll take it!

StraightLineJoe (Jul 22, 2020 at 2:15)

I think its a good idea. Allows folk to get a lighter frame and in time spec up the parts if they want and when they can afford to.

with Shimano brakes too, for the full "parts bin special" feel

samimerilohi (Jul 22, 2020 at 4:35)

Eh, I appreciate that they went with a good frame and suspension and decent wheels. Drivetrain is a wear part and easy&cheap to upgrade.

ondreja (Jul 22, 2020 at 7:11)

Except from the looks of it, you can't upgrade the hub driver, so any substantial drivetrain upgrade will also require new hub. Having SX means you're gonna have to buy new parts and most likely upgrade fairly soon, but you'll ways be stuck with this cassette.

@ondreja: Not necessarily, lots of Shimano options that run with the HG freehub. Just can't run any of the 10 tooth options from either company.

Top of the line frame and suspension though.

@hmstuna: But you certainly could do a lot worse. They did spend the budget where it counts

@benmoosmann: fair enough

bmied31 (Jul 23, 2020 at 9:24)

@StraightLineJoe: They could at least put a NX derailluer on there...I believe MSRP between SX and NX is like $30 for the entire group. SX is pointless.

Why would Bontrager/Trek want to send me information when I enter to win a Cannondale?

32 0

Mac1987 (Jul 22, 2020 at 1:38)

Because it says BONGtrager. That's a new bong manufacturing subdivision of Cannondale. Their engineers were engineering so hard they needed some stress relief. Cannondale being Cannondale, they then decided to do the designing and manufacturing of said bongs themselves.

I do know a guy who won a bike from one of these. It was before I was a user (which is pretty recent). But I do remember him winning a custom built bike that had something to do with breast cancer.

I remember bumping into a guy on the trails about 2 seasons ago who won the GT Force Carbon riding some trails in southern NH. It was a really nice looking rig.

Just qurious..

F22 (Jul 22, 2020 at 4:29)

because your actual name is a lot more useful for marketing than your pb username, obviously. This -probably- surely gets cross checked with data google, facebook, or similar databases have about you

i was reluctant to put my full name too. - Chris Swallows
..risky, since this is exactly how Dick Pound was found out

@JonnyTheWeasel: They're great, as long as you don't care about having a tire that grips.

nyhc00 (Jul 22, 2020 at 6:09)

@JonnyTheWeasel: last time I rode them it was really sketchy in wet conditions, roots and rocks specifically. Granted that was a few years ago and I have since gotten better riding in those conditions but that was my experience at the time.

@nyhc00: too true. They're crap.. in pretty much all conditions haha. Maxxis has other tires that do everything better.
