Sell my Fuel and get a ML7?

[Wasmachineman NL]

I do like those Mav's quite a bit, So should I sell my Fuel 90 and get a Mav ML7? How does the Monolink ride vs the single-pivot with rockerlink on the Trek?

Get a used Durance it is much better then the ML7 and have Ethan (mavericksuspension@gmail.com) rebuild your rear shock.
At 5" travel it is a better climber then anything I 've tried, including the ML7

I agree with voob. Get a Durance or the ML8. I have all three and I almost always ride the ML8.

Good luck getting a Durance or even a Maverick bike in The Netherlands, they are as rare as winning the Staatsloterij Jackpot here.

there's one on sale over here in germany, been on the market for quite a while now so you may be able to deal the seller down further ...

to view you'll have to join www.mtb-news.de and then search for 'durance' in the bikemarkt.

what size are you after?

You mean this one? MAVERICK Durance - Artikelansicht - Bikemarkt - MTB-News.de
Dont like the color IMO and I am not a fan of buying a bike I haven't seen in person.

[yep, that's the one.

i'm sure you are aware that mavericks are not quite so common as treks, so 'buying without seeing' comes as part of the deal

the bike looks ok - you could ask if there is play in the monolink, and ask for pix of any marks and scratches to the frame.

tuot terrain in D still has parts and offers servicing.

I have a brand new Maverick Durance Hard Anodized Medium frame, shock updated with last Ethan's stuff ... in stock at Alpatech, the last one !!!

The guy who mailed me for my Fuel wanted it after he gets his paycheck, I think i'm gonna pull the trigger on the ML7, Although he asks way too much, I'm gonna try to haggle the price down by quite a bit
