X0 eagle groupset pls
No-one on here has mentioned what I think may be the most NB difference between these bikes: geometry.
The Scott for e.g. has far lower stack height than the Camber. Depending on your leg length you could go L or XL size - with huge differences in how you need to size to have the same feel as say on the Camber (or your current bike, where the bars are much higher. Do you like long or short stems, do you like your bars low or high, does it matter to you if you need a riser bar, etc.
Take careful measures of your current position and go compare; go sit on the XL of all and only then decide; the rest less NB and will come down to little personal choices. Geometry always most NB.

Looks dodgy to me - no clue what data will be used for and why?
Could even be someone's reseach project - if so needfs to state that and enrollment should be voluntary.
No way I'm filling it in, and I asked lots of Q...waiting for reply.
Phew, there are a lot of people out on the TMB front today And with Tokai closed for the nex 18 mo plus, time to grab this opportunity!
How about adding to this wishlist (Sorry Rob 
)
"Threats"
Just too many people out there:
I'm sure others have lots of comments too...let's hear them.......
Good grief - there is some rather poor info on here.
Go see your doctor and if he can't explain to the value of a 24 hour ambulatory BP test in your setting, or explain to you how that would better calculate your risk and plan your therapy, ask for a referral to a physician with an interest in hypertension.
Agree 100% they are in another league completely, I am a huge 360Life fan, but to be frank, even if they did not have any mechanical issues, I do not think that the status quo would be any different. Their ability and talent is not in question, Burry is just a bit windgat lately.
I think you guys are missing Burry's point. Yesterday, he was actually asking and aswering the question to himself - why did they not gift a stage to 360Life, as 36One were leading and likely winners and they should share the spoils, His answer (to himself and us) I think was perfectly justifyable - firstly "no gifts" (they might have a mechanical and not win) and secondly he didn't feel that 360Life did enough to warrant a gift on this stage.
All fair comment IMO. Today's tweet though suggests he's picked up the negative vibe round his comments BUT still didn't gift them a stage.Still needs some PR training though.
I wonder whether 360two are expecting or hoping for gifts now? Would it help their relationship ;-)
+ 1 - shot!
Good grief, what next?
Hope you're not too heavy or too rough a rider; else expect to buy a new pair in a year.
Get your sit bones measured and buy a saddle that is the right width for your ass.
One man's favourite saddle is anothe man's torture device.
Some shops have test saddles (I have seen Fizik, San Marco and Specialized).
Its an expensive trial and error process otherwise.
Laugh at that "assometer" from Spesh - you don't sit anywhere near where that measures!

Well done - finally common sense is prevailing!
Need more of those though and that's where the fights are going to start.
Second the Feedback Pro - just great.
Read the reviews....
My wife settled on the WTB speed she.
No, I disagree wholehearted with your view. Read my previous post. It's not all about going down singletracks. Shees, the OP of this thread has really opened a can of worms here. No, it will RUIN Tokai. Stop being difficult and learn to yield for ascenders. Don't expect ascenders to move, you move. Those are the rules. Learn to live with it, just like paying taxes, getting flu, and women. All of these are a pain, but certainly necessary in life. Use common sense and be courteous. It goes a long way. You'll find both parties end up giving and taking.
I haven't seen any of these "rules" posted anywhere at Tokai, nor have I seen them applied. To me it looks like the ascenders generally give way, like I do. It is much easier to do that, and interrupts flow much less IMO. I appreciate there is disagreement and no clear consensus so I ride carefully (and nowadays very early or very late to avoid too many poeple with no clear idea)
I agree that singletracks can go uphill - don't get me wrong. Just that our trails are now too full to have bidirectional traffic. Some should be marked down and some up and they will be safe for all to enjoy.
To my mind the fight should be about which direction the existing trails should be marked as. A few flat ones could even be birectional with big warnings.
I give up!
I'm afraid I genuinly don't know anyone who feels like you do - everyone I ride with (and I mingle with the lycra not baggy crowd) consider the singletrack to be downhill priority (ride uphill, but at your own risk and preferably when the trails are quiet).
It's much safer and more fun that way. It now just needs a sign for you.
All trail centres in the UK have unidirectional trails for these reasons. Some up, some down. No reason Tokai can't have the same. Trails need to be build differently in any way for down and uphills. Steepness is one side of it, but switchbacks, camber, berms, etc all different.
Time to measure your own max:
Take longish, steady uphill, ride harder harder and harder till at max...THEN SPRINT till collapse and vomit. Remeber to look down at HR monitor before collapse.
I ride some singletrack uphill but always give way to people coming down. In the jeeptracks I feel I have right of way going up and hold my line (as per IMBA), but gerenally ride on the LHS of the road.
I feel that ALL singletarck should be marked one way in Tokai - there are just too many people to allow bidirectional trails.
Most people would hate to have the fun of a downhill run interrupted by people riding up - me included, so I get out of the their way.
I expect all uphillers on singletrack to move out of my way too. When the track is relatively flat is becomes a problem (which way is actually uphill) - hence still need right of way signage.
IT IS TIME FOR ONE WAY SIGNAGE ON ALL TRACKS IN TOKAI!
Moved my cleats back as part of dealing with metatarsal pain ,and after reading I'm sure some of what you did - much happier.
I think I would classify my riding as enduro XC, but sometimes I like to do a bit of all-mountain lite.
What bike would you guys suggest I use for each of those?

Another trick - drop your wrists. Helps keep weight forward.
