what a rutted technical nightmare. Reminds me of the LT MTB 50, 30 spots on the trail were crater ponds, and 1 section at altitude was capped with hike-a-bike slush/snow. What are you rocking these days, hardware wise?


Still have a Scott Genius.
It's 150mm all round. 2x10 setup with 22/36 which is working out very well after dropping the top ring in place of a bash guard. Took a few inches of the handlebars and run with 2.1 HighRollers all year round.
It's due for changing soon and i'm looking at a Orange 5 Pro or Scott Spark 30. I want to go from AM to XC as my down hilling days are over.

You doing any road? Just updated my BMC Racemaster with the latest Ultegra group set.

Gary Fisher Superfly Elite 100 29er, no hard downhilling for me, either. Bad luck on a bike a few too many times. Too many road deaths in my neighborhood (lol cellphones) this year, so not really into it just yet. I might try a dedicated path fixie (Trek District) or even a Velodrome / trials first.

29er = gay.
fixie = gay.
29er + fixie = universe imploding up the cum encrusted hoop of the overgaylord.

FU...

fixie :olo:

please tell me you're kidding. the trek district site gives two 'advantages' to fixies: they're cheap, and they're low maintenance - i.e. fixies are the fleshlights of the bike world

get a hybrid if you want to stay away from roads

Lol, the wife's got one. Thought it was the best mix for her for a few trails/road. I can see the appeal for inner city though.

not a fan of the 29-er, eh? :) it's not for everyone, but i found it to be a deal-sealer on the LT100. Shaved probably an hour off my time on what the boys in the hood call an "ultrawalker," as well. O, and fixies are swell for parking your shit in the rain and not having to clean / oil and adjust every square inch of bike. Just my .02, hate that shit.

Most of the pro racers I've seen on xc events seem to like them. I've heard they suck on technical descents and make you gay.
