Any of you have any strong opinions on if it’s worth it to pony up $$$ for a
Carbon frame vs alloy on a mountain bike?
Trying to decide if I should up my budget for carbon or just get alloy and maybe get some carbon wheels next year.

Nice components almost always come with carbon frames.

Is that just a mountain bike thing? I see plenty of nice drivetrain components

Probably. I don't pay much attention to other types of bikes.

I don't know the answer, but I know a guy who does. Talk to the owner of Mad Dog cycles in Orem.

It was worth it to me, but I spend more time on my mountain bike than in cars.

All I think about is mtn biking. I ride 3-4 times per week.

I live and ride in grand junction. Lots of tech. Lots of drops.
