hey guys, so i bought this little demon a little over a year ago, and i just wanted to give some feed back on it since i know monty has a history of bad rap.
first off let me say, i really do love this bike. it rides well, has a good wheel base, is incredibly light........ the only componets ive changed from the factory are the tires to maxxis, i changed the grips to lock on, because i ripped through like 4 pairs of foam in a month. also ive gone through 1 chain. ive easily increased every max on every move ive ever been able to do. keeping in mind i gave up trials for about 4 months and 1 week after buying this i was regretting trying to get back into the sport. well, im glad to say, im happy i staid with it. trials has been such a huge part of my life since i was 16, 7 years later and i still love doing it. there are burn out moments but theres always something new to learn and try.
are far as complaints, the only ones have been the whole rear brake fandangle where my bore cap wasnt tight from the factory and it kept leaking on my rotor, which is no longer a problem, rear brake works amazing. my front hub likes to fall apart, but has no trouble staying together when its tightened for a ride. i cracked the orginal rear rotor from stress, and landed on the front one once so i replaced both of those.
id say anyone looking at buying a new camel, go for it. i think monty has really put the effort required into building a decent bike. just stay away from those stupid rear rotors......
