The Axum...

After the ride at Stewart in pretty much stock form, I can definitely say that I don't regret spending $250 on this bike. With that said... as you might have guessed, the components on this bike is overall pretty bad FOR TRAIL USE. If you are doing light trails, this bike is fairly good if you dont care about weight. I might even say it's a damn good bike for the money. Allaire... no problem... 6mr... shouldn't be an issue. Tourne... LewMo... might be pushing it. Here is a kicker... the fork... might survive a few rides but not sure how much longer. The drive train... it ain't XTR but I did not drop the chain today. Brakes.. no issues to lock the wheel but forget about 1 finger braking. Tires were half way decent and I think I'm going to keep the saddle. It's an XC bike with 2.6 tires if that makes sense. Rode more like my Niner than the Ragley.

This bike... change the fork and brakes and I think you got yourself a decent winter beater.

For me... let the tare down begin!
