clicgear 3.0 for sure, but hate that you have to get a separate sand bottle, the drink holder doe come in handy clicking on the side for the 3.0

My Sun Mountain came with a little hand pump to inflate the tires.  I don't use it much, only in the dead of winter, but I like it.

Have SMV2 and CG3.0 and like them both.  If I was forced to keep only one it would be the SMV2.  Yes, a little more maintenance on the tires and doesn't fold as small; but one the course, it's just nicer.  More storage with the cargo nets, holds the bag without straps, and just feels more solid and stable regardless of terrain.  I also like that in wet course conditions, the air tires roll better and don't collect as much mud and cut grass.

My V2 has foam tires and it works fine on any terrain and under wet course conditions. I also own an original Speed Cart (before they started calling it V1) with air tires. The air tires are indeed a pain. Still, I like both better than the CG 2 or 3. They just seem more solid to me.

IMO, I am totally opposite. I own Sun Mountain V1 with air tires  the brand new just released Sun Mountain SV1 that has foam tires that are almost the same as the Clicgear and I just purchased the Clicgear 3.0. I really was pleased with the Sun Mountain V1 it had the storage net which is handy and the tires were never that big of an issue and I walk 4 rounds a week. My biggest complaint would be that it was unstable. It would flip backward if you parked it on just the smallest incline and having the umbrella up would really make it an issue. I recently purchased the brand new and hard to find SV1 by Sun Mountain which had a couple of new features including the foam tires. This cart is the worst purchase I have made so far. The cart flips extremely easy!! I even tried to shim the bag upright a little to try to make it have some  forward lean but it didn't work, an obvious design flaw.

Frustrated, I bought a clicgear to try and yes it seems to push maybe a little harder but I think it is that the weight distribution is more forward and on the front wheel. The Clicgear absolutely feels more solid, holds my bag securely with no twisting of the bag as I walk through bumpy terrain and  is much more stable and extremely hard to flip.

I have slime in all my Sun Mountain tires.  I've never had an umbrella on it either, damn good cart.

I have the V2, but looking at the CG 3.0.. SM V2 has a slight edge because of the seat attachment... Works well on those 5hr rounds!

If you have the V2, and you give it the slight edge, WHY are you looking at the 3.0 ?

Thanks

I have the SM v1 and all 3 tires have slow leaks, I just ordered the solid tires for $60. Cheaper than buying a new cart.

anyone have leads on great deals for the SMv2, CG 3.0, or BB quad? I can't decide between the 3, so i think price wil be the determining factor

I've narrowed my choice down to the CG and I'm looking for a good deal as well...preferably new but will consider used.

No complaints about my CG 3.0

[rkristopheranderson]

I've used a CG 2.0 -- got it on discount when the 3.0 came out.  I love it and have to say--personal preference -- I'm not sure why someone would upgrade for accessories--the storage nets, etc...seem superfluous because I DO have a golf bag attached to  the cart that carries all I need (I even shove a sand bottle in a side pocket).  The only accessory that I think the pushcart HAS to have is the umbrella holder.

[Pepperturbo]

Survey says... I need to buy "2" CG 3.0's.

[Fourmyle of Ceres]

Coming late to the party I'll second or third or tenth the suggestion for "no air" tires. Had a first-generation SM Speed Cart with the pneumatic tires. Not doing that again, ever. A push cart needs to sit there, take a licking and keep on rolling with zero maintenance. Pump-up tires are the farthest thing from zero-maint not to mention the time one went dead flat on me 1,500 yards from the clubhouse. What a PITA, even if it happens once in 10 years that's too often.

My options are pretty limited. I need a big basket or something to carry a couple bottles of sand/seed mixture for divots. I must fix 50-100 divots some rounds because of the all the guys either shouldering their bag or push a cart with no provision for carrying a sand bottle or two. A lot of the divot-fixing guys I play with have had to jury-rig some sort of holder onto their push carts.

And I carry a couple of the big bottle, like sit on a golf cart. The little dinky "sand bottle" that hangs like a water bottle would be empty before the end of the front nine even just sanding my own divots (I'm a "digger") much less repairing a few dozen left by the folks ahead of me.

So are the other push carts with no-air tires and a big basket or net to toss a couple sand bottles into? Or is it just that one older Sun Mountain model. Mine is getting a bit creaky after 4-1/2 seasons of heavy use...

I voted Clicgear 3.0.  I've had one for several months and it has been a lovely addition.  Easy to fold, rolls effortlessly, and is well made.  I see it lasting until I get tired of it.  I have tried out the SM and did not care for the pneumatic tires or the way they fold, plus they just take up too much room when folded.  The 3.0 fits perfectly in the back of my extended cab pickup with my clubs.  The attachments on the 3.0 seem superior to the SM offerings as well.

I've had my CG 3.0 for a month now. I love it. I had a Bag Boy ez-fold since 2006 and although I liked it, the frame broke in 2 places. If someone is ready to buy a new cart, you will not be disappointed in the CG 3.0. just read some reviews. they are accurate about folds/unfolds easily, rolls great, and is well constructed. my buddy has a CG 2.0 and I compared mine to his. I think they improved the brakes and a couple other features. his is still working great though.

I bought a push cart about 5 years ago and decided to get the cheapest three wheel one i could find. I got it off ebay, but it was new. After 5 years and well over a couple hundred rounds the cart has taken a fair beating, but i can only imagine the amount of money it has saved me. After using many different carts i am going to pony up and get the clicgear 3.0 this time. Looking forward to something sturdy that folds up small.
