I never realized how expensive mountain biking could be……

My 13yo son has really gotten into it…..At every turn it’s $$$$$$. He’s already grown out of his first MB ($1600). Now he’s about grown out of his 2nd one ($4,000). Replacement will likely be around $6,000 if I go new. Ouch.

My brother was competitive road racing in his youth ... bookoos bucks ** -- FfxStationHokie 01/22/2022 5:08PM

And it should really be about the legs. Not the equipment. ** -- Stork 01/22/2022 4:57PM

Cheaper to make the kid's legs shorter than upgrade the bike? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 01/22/2022 5:01PM

Legs stronger. No fancy bike needed. ** -- Stork 01/22/2022 5:06PM

Pelotons will be very cheap soon ** -- LonghornHokie 01/22/2022 4:56PM

What crazy is that you can buy a motorcycle for what the high end MTBs run -- EDGEMAN 01/22/2022 4:45PM
