My past experience with a mongoose teocali, which used the freedrive system was great, stiff and strong and a great pedeller(sp?)

My mongy was all good. Never had any troubles with it. The freedrive systems is a great pedalling platform, much the same as a GT i-drive apparently. I would buy another. Don't be scared just because it's a Mongoose... I know a few people who hissed at me for buying one. fUk Da HaYtArz

Oh and Jamie, don't take into account the feel of Kezmuffs goose, the new ones are more refined. More travel, 150mm maxle etc..

The freedrive system rocks.
Only issue is they wear the pins on the hot links out but a replacement kit which includes absolutely everything including needleroller bearings is around $120.
I had a Teocali and loved it.
