I'm looking to get a new bike after years of using hardtails. I was wondering if anyone has experience with decathalons Riverside 900. I realy like the look of it
I have one, I replace the brakes ´cause they’re awful. I now have Deore XT hydraulic brakes, so much better. The rims are really fragile, rim tape are trash. Rims are to narrow. Worst bike buy I’ve made in my life. It’s sitting in my garage in case I’ve nothing else to ride. Can’t sell it back to Decathlon ‘cause I’ve modified the brakes.

I had the 920 which has better wheels. I’d go for the 520 and upgrade parts
