No we just know how to have fun, a lighter bike does climb better, and its easier to throw around than a heavier machine, But i have my new baby, and she's a bit overweight, even with the additional weight till she goes on her diet plan its the most awesome machine ever built. Bottom line its nice to have a light bike but not the alpha and the omega for someone who goes out to enjoy mountainbiking, if your a A group contender, and mountainbike to race then sure get your 9kg carbon hardtail. For the rest of us, as you upgrade your spec your bike will loose weight anyway.

You got ripped Giant has a disclaimer on their site where they refuse to specify their bike weights.

Ok Im invoking official thread anti-hijack rights here

To the OP what my learned collegues are trying to convey is this. Energy drinks are weird what works for some doesnt work for others, youll have to try them and see which one works best for you personally. I personally prefer Hammer, because its a mix of complex natural carbs, and its not very sweet. The longer you ride the sweeter your drink gets for some reason. 32gi works great for some doesnt work at all for others basically becuase to use 32gi if you cant take in any other kind of sugar i.e. sugar in your coffee before you ride, no sugar in your serial, and no glass of coke at the water point. If you do it renders the stuff useless. Now that i have bought a new bike and is a poor again, im using evox, but only for a pre ride drink, while i ride i only use water, but long distance races ill still use hammer perpetium (unflavoured) doesnt taste like much but works like a charm.

got nothing to do with the 120 being skittish, its any bike thats not properly setup will end up being skittish, you need to get your tyre and shock pressures right, as well as your rebound settings, otherwise your bike will feel seriously unstable at times.

Can confirm Rocky got it spot one, maaaaan its the best bike ive ever ridden.

Bulls 2 also just hit a flat they cant fix, any idea what tyres they are running and suggestions as to what they should be running?

My knickers aint in a knot, what im saying is they could go out on 2 ton kenda nevegals, and it can still happen, karoo rock is a bitch they slice through anything. Sometimes you just have bad luck and sometimes crap happens, its the nature of the beast.

Ok so what tyre should he have chosen this last year ive cut 2 Geax sugaro's 1 AKA ripped knobs of a MNT king 2 Tread cut on a Rocket Ron sidewall cut on X-king I throw my tyres away the minute they get damaged but as you can see there is no tyre that will not cut, it could be as simple as a peace of glass, or sharp wire, or simply a sharp rock that cut the tyre, no peace of rubber is going to withstand that.

oh lol, I know what they are but dont do them religiously, every now and again when i get bored on a flat peace of Tarmac (and it doesnt happen often that i go on tarmac) ill do intervals to alleviate the boredeom and cramps in my ass, and to expulge the fumes ive been sucking. My idea of mixing up my training is doing a different MTB route everyday each route gives its own little uniqueness.

Are you taking the piss out us again?

The communication should happen before you slam it all over the interwebs, That said at least you got a conclusion out of this whole afair.

What our hub experts should do however is form a panel, so that the hub can give Evans and George a sheet for next years epic including What diet to follow What training plan to do What bikes to ride with specified kit. (including wheels) What massage therapist to use What coaches to use, What clothing to wear And what strategy to use during the race, They surely cant fail then now can they? HUB EXPERTS TO INFINITY AND BYEOND!!!!!!

Because he can and is usually right, you dont get to where he is by being wrong very often.

Dont know what they using but they definitly wont be using the dtswiss thats the most useless shock ever.

Yeah sure why dont we just kit them out with DH tyres? No such thing as a bomb proof tyre, I have destroyed every single make of tyre out on the market and i dont put in 1 x 50th of the km's these guys put in, you seriously think they have not gone through 1000's of km's of training on those same brand tyres? They sit around and just pick their kit the night before a race? Get real people they know more about those tyres than you can ever imagine. Bottom line is thats the nature of the beast, crap happens, and any one hubber that suggests these guys dont know their kit, or did something due to lack of skill, is seriously deluded with their litte place on this planet. They know more than us about kit and cycling, they spend big money on researching every single component on the market, and these guys have more skill in their little toes than the entire hubs skill capacity combined and multiplied by Pi. I only have to say gawd i luv hubbers. Reminds me of some hub experts argueing with Jeron Swart, though i didnt think they new it was Dr Swart on the other end of the keyboard.

The only reason we dont break our bikes like these guys is becuase we simply cant ride as hard as they can

In the clown section, filed under desperate to try and make more money.

I have no granny gear anymore i miss spinning like a helicopter, now i just have to follow a rythem and increase my leg strength.

The reason I am asking some servers will do a reverse lookup and if that times out will reject any incoming messages, so its basically a case of doing a reverse lookup to their mail exchanger so do a lookup of the MX record for CWC, then run the command below against that IP. That should tell you if you resolve forwards and in reverse. But its most likely a case that they are still processing the weekends orders and you will get notified once its entered into the system for dispatch. dig -x 111.222.333.444 +short

Whats your reverse lookup output say on the domain?

And these e-mails will be automated as the order gets procecced through the system it will automatically generate mails and send it off to you, If you are going through a ISP or work network i would suggest you get them to whitelist the cwc domain, also CWC is not open 24/7 so you will only start receiving e-mail once a human being acknowledges the order, gets it out of stock and send it off to shipping which only happens during business hours.

Also make sure you have nothing either blocking CWC mail domain, or that its not in your spam folder, have had plenty of people crapping on why they dont get communication from our company, i think mail them the e-mail server logs confirming receipt on their side, and then they normally impishly admit its either in their spam folders or their spam filters blocked it.

Cant go wrong with an anthem X0 one of the best bikes in its price class, the main competitor to that would be the scott but the rear suspension on the scott is useless. Also got my girl a scot aspect 10 and she loves the bike. So cant go wrong there either.

No but they have skill levels par most people, I can vouch that once you are above 1.8m a 29'er just feels better, and if you get the right one, it destroys the myth that they suck in tight spaces. that said most 29'ers arent built for their handling capabilities they are built for marathons, but there are ones on the market that kick the crap out of 26" bikes on a trail, Rocky mountain, Santa Cruze, Elsworth to mention a few that just got the whole geometry right, even though they arent the lightest coaches in the shed.
