CraigCCW Posted September 3, 2014 Share Having a Silverback may make me a bit biased, but with their 2015 range, Silverback have really improved their range significantly. I hope their "Value for money" and After sales service philosophy remains, because to me that has been their biggest plus over the bigger brands. http://www.silverbac...bikes/mountain/ http://www.silverbacklab.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/product-silverback-storm-1-732x540.png Edited September 3, 2014 by CraigCCW 2bliss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bliss Posted September 3, 2014 Share You're lucky, I wish I could get my OH excited about MTB.Perhaps you should start a thread dedicated to that topic. There are sure to be others with same problem and there might be those who have had success in getting an OH into MTB'ing. Can't hurt to ask for advice. Oh, wait, this is The Hub....

Uni Posted September 3, 2014 Share You're lucky, I wish I could get my OH excited about MTB.assuming you guys tried? did your OH say why they didn't like it? granted it's not for everyone but i do think circumstances make it difficult to just "get" it.

My wife is in the Medical field, so anything with a slight amount of risk is out of the question. She would love it if I didn't enjoy MTB'ing.

Uni Posted September 3, 2014 Share Funny how my post on Silverback turned into a discussion about our better / other halves how about them 2015 silverbacks and what's with the fatty bikes - what's a single scoop and a double scoop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bliss Posted September 3, 2014 Share how about them 2015 silverbacks and what's with the fatty bikes - what's a single scoop and a double scoop?Single Scoop is the 1x11 with Bluto. Double Scoop is the 2x10. Fatbikes make no sense in SA, but they look like tremendous fun. Can't wait for the Double Scoop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for the Double Scoop!!! Would love to try a fat bike, but I do agree, they don't make sense, especially here in JHB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
