Congratulations on your new bike. Looks like a sweet ride! :) I am looking at the Haro Flightline One 27.5 as I'm in the market for an entry-level mountain bike and need something that is sturdy, reliable, and affordable to maintain. I have a question about the suspension fork, does it have a lockout? Nothing really wrong with the old school V-brakes either - they are very simple and affordable to maintain and repair at home; just need the right size allen key or hex driver to adjust and spare brake pads. Disc brakes have better performance; especially in rough conditions but are more difficult to repair and maintain which leads to higher maintenance and repair costs as they are more likely to require professional service. I also like that this bike has double-walled rims. Cheers! :)
You're welcome jackdrummer. Your bike is an awesome one for the money. If you've been riding the bike, how does it handle on paved roads and off-road trails. Also how does the suspension hold up seeing that it doesn't have a lockout? Many lower-end suspension forks are known for the annoying pogo stick characteristic when riding.
When you ride the bike on paved roads it is a very smooth and comfortable ride off road trails are amazing and so exciting the Adrenalin that you get is awesome the suspension is great iv'e been riding over tree trunks and its not Pogo sticky at all!
Cool. That's some great info about your experience with this bike so far. Looking at all the bikes in the $500.00 to $550.00 CAD range, the Haro Flightline One 27.5 is a very decent bike to go with, if not the best one in that price range. I also like that this bike has double-walled rims and a cassette freehub. Good to hear that the front suspension is working out well for you. Another factor with how well the suspension behaves also has to do with rider weight, I am just over the 200 lbs mark so that could be a slight factor when it comes to pogo-ing. Since I mentioned about a cassette freehub, that is a much more desirable feature than the traditional freewheel hub as the rear axle has much better support and that they are easier to service. With freewheel hubs, a good portion of the drive side of the axle (especially with 7 or more gear cogs) is unsupported which can lead to bent or even broken axles. Two excellent links for further reading on this: www.sheldonbrown.com/freewheels.html and www.sheldonbrown.com/k7.html. From what I've read on the specs of the Haro Flightline One 27.5 and it's price, I like this bike and look forward to test riding one soon, and ultimately buying it if I am happy test riding one. Cheers and happy cycling! :)
@@jackdrummer10 I just bought a used one of these for $300 but I was worried I overpaid for it. I'm not too familiar with bikes so I'm still unsure. Its a good ride though. Any gripes you've had with it?
@@TrueOne93 I no longer have this bike, I upgraded to a YT Capra Comp 29er but, I haven't had any issues, maybe the front fork could use an upgrade but other than that, I liked it.
