Mongoose Teocali Comp

fantastic design a dream to ride anywere – have had this bike for 5 weeks now and have been riding it every chance i get, on road and trails, mostly trails,the grip you get climbing the steep stuff is fantastic even when standing and your head is hanging over the front tyre, on dry gravel its hard to get the rear tyre to slip. so far the bike has handled every drop off, rough down hill… Read more

braking, high log and jumps i have been game to tackle with ease.

i have found the gearing very usable, but not completely reliable and the bike setup is easy to change.

the brakes feel strong and confident, the tyres are a suprise, i have had them popping of rocks and sharp roots,with no punctures yet (touch wood), and the grip when on low pressure is great in the dry and wet, it will take me a long time to get the measure of this bike and i look forward to every ride.

i have only two problems so far with this bike, the left hand crank came loose and fell off,loose bolt, easily fixed by the bike shop no charge,and no damage done,signs its due for its first service i think.

next is the brake and gear lines rub on the body work stripping the paint away,only asthetics but gives me the shits looking at it, if had of known before hand i would have chucked some contact under them.

but overall i love it and it makes me look like a good rider. looks trick, rides like a dream, well priced, saddle is a bit hard for my soft butt, i will harden up one day!
