Hello, I enjoyed your video review .There really is a lot of good about the Cross & i thought the gearing was surprisingly good for a low end bike.The person i did the service for bought the bike new around two years ago & has been very happy with it.
Bought this bike 3 days ago, brilliant for the price. Had to pop it to Halfords to have the gears done as they were all over the place straight out of the box which is to be expected, also the post bracket lost its thread as it is a cheap bolt but I replaced it with a quick release one instead. The rear suspension spring gets squeeky so that needs lube regular, also a bugger to clean lol, otherwise awesome bike;)
it is a great bike i modded mine to have an air fork and rear air shock :) superb little bike i really miss it tbh hope you enjoy it! its so versatile for modding too
WELSH GAMER 15 i bought a cheapish one off ebay it was a dnm one off ebay i think it was 165mm but i had to drill a hole in the frame so it would fit so as long as you dont mind drilling holes its up-gradable hope this helps mate sorry for the late reply
sorry i forget exactly how much it has... havent had this bike for a year or two now but i do miss it it was a good bike :) i did have a pretty big crash on it though and thats kinda the reason i wanted a new bike. thanks for the comment :P
+Jo Bloggs yes it certainly does but i dont recommend them though i nearly had my front wheel fall out once when i was riding and it came loose somehow. nowa days i run the rockshox maxle on my DH ride much more secure
For the price a good bike butt nothing i would be buying or takein on trails and doing jumps with its more for a family man that wouldant take. A 30ft drop off but for a low end cost bike it looks the real deal fp
i agree, its not a bad bike but not great. its a good starter bike though for sure, i did some small jumps on it and then decided to take it to a bike park and hit a pretty big jump.... it did not end well at all.... cracked my helmet in half and got winded pretty good.

I'm a bike mechanic, i just serviced one,adjusted the suspension etc and it really rode well,considering it hadn't been serviced in two years.
oh yes its quite a nice little bike in the end i upgraded it with full air suspension i wish i had not sold it now to be honest with you
How do u adjust the forks ?..my mates forks have play and shuddering.
John Chapman take it to a bike shop, sounds like the rubber may have gone...

@@mechreports1 So is there any way to adjust the old forks as in tighten them up ?
By the way ,thanks for getting back to me
How much travel is on the suspension
