I bought this bike in April 2011. It was one the first 29 mountain bikes on the market. I have used it for a total of 4675km and 99’000 elevtion meters. Moreover, I rode it for a number of races. Finally, I crashed with it since the lefty fork gave up, as the top ring flew off. It was an immediate hard touch on the ground. From that point I have not touched this bike anymore, and the bike dealer offered to take it back for an acceptable amount since he did not feel comfortable either.
