muniracer said:*i really want to get a 29er, but i feel it is so much of an
investment. sure its only 250, but then there are so many
accessories! there is the airseat, the handlebars, the brake, the
speedometer... so maybe i can jack this thread and ask if people ride
29ers like this one without these accessories that seem to me to be
pretty essential. i cant imagine riding on a kh seat for hours
straight... *
Pretty much everything is optional. My 29er has a KH seat, no speedo, no
brake etc. and it's gone probably 1500 miles with no problems. The only
thing I'd really really upgrade from a standard one is the tyre and
pedals, to a big apple and something with pins.
If you ride regularly a KH seat is pretty good for distance riding, you
don't really need an airseat any more. Except if you're one of the few
weird people who just don't find the KH seat comfortable at all.
The other stuff is nice to have, but unless you're doing 100 miles a day
or whatever, you don't *need* it.
