GHOST R1D3R Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 hi, Anyone know of a decent mountain bike to get for under £200? They all look the same and is there any difference between a £50 bike and a £200 one other than price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 Disk brakes are a MUST they make the bike more expensive but better for stopping when your Husky decides to sod off in an unexpected direction. If you are planning on using it for Husky exercise then you need proper bikejoring kit or a side attachment such as a WalkyDog or springer.

It will be used for the husky's but not for a while she is only 6 months old so its just for me to get rid of my fat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 If husky decides to stop in 0.0000111 sec best brakes cant help. If U want try bikejoring the most important thing is HELMET. Apart from bike and helmet harness,sled -around f15 and bungee lead. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/x-back-Racing-Sled-dog-harness-Husky-Malamute-/280693995613?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Dogs&var=&hash=item415aaa785d#ht_2480wt_1110 http://www.snowpawstore.com/active-dog-gear/bikejoring/manmat-skiline-bungee-1-dog.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s200rey Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I wouldn't buy new on a budget of £200, you will end up being disappointed. I'd look at a second hand, claud butler, kona, specialized or orange. They will have all been around £400-500+ a few years ago, and with mountain bikes, people upgrade to the 'latest spec' all the time, so 1 year - 2 year old ones go cheap on the likes of Gumtree & eBay. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
