Its pretty amazing the beating you can put on these things and they just keep going. As far as reliability is concerned, as G-Magoo stated, keep up on maintenance and such and they won't let you down. An added bonus is how easy they are to work on, there is access to everything and its all really simple. My rail has only rear brakes, no front shocks, and a home made(by me) wiring harness, and it works great lol. Plus parts are (usually) fairly cheap. Buy/build one and join us on some rides.
