hi,
I'm relatively new to mountain biking, and planning on buying a Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo-- http://www.fisherbikes.com/bikes/bike_detail.asp?series=genesis&bike=HKEK . Can anyone tell me what their view is of this bike (would it be good for a beginner but still be able to handle harder rides?). Also, what would be the equivalent of a Hoo Koo E Koo in a few different companies if I were to go with something else?
Because im new to this stuff, can someone tell me what the advantages are to having those skinnier black pedals compared to the wider ones? I prefer the wider ones because that’s what im used to, but it looks like I would be changing over to the skinny black ones with the Hoo Koo E Koo (even though you can change the pedals).
Thanks a lot for your help!
