Re: Decision needed [New Bicycle]
The cell MTX-2. Not necessarily the disc. i am looking at getting an mtx-2 for an entry level xc (I'm on a VERY tight budget). It looks the best value. The promax disc brakes will probably disappoint. cheap disc brakes are usually not as good as v-brakes, the rotors will bend, and you will spend time and money keeping them stopping. The mtx 2 seems awesome bang for the buck, much MUCH better components, and IO disc brakes SUCK, so i would suggest the mtx 2.
