Plus overall the brand itself is not cheap. I’m pretty into mountain biking so if you need someone to confer with or offer unbiased advice I’m willing to help. Would you suggest a different brand then? Idk if I really need the rear suspension and such, although it would be nice. > [@The Pink; is it over?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-pink-is-it-over/43207/12): > > You’re basically looking for exactly what I am. I have my eye on the Schwinn Protocol 1.0. It’s not stupid expensive, and it’s not the same cheap Walmart crap. Exactly, I don’t want a used car lol, i want a bike! > [@IM CALLING YOU OUT FIREHAWK853!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/im-calling-you-out-firehawk853/42858/382): > > Shift group ride coming soon?!?!

Seriously theres no real point and regular bike brakes are like disc brakes anyway. Braking power, I’m 205lbs, and going down some nasty terrain, u want assurance shit is gonna stop if need be. Traditional bike brakes get muddy/wet and the braking distance deteriorates FAST. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-shift-mountainbikers/259023)._
