how's that reach figure though!? 384mm reach on the medium. That's proper old school

Always loved the look of Niners...

2.35's... it's cos of the rims. 35mm wide INTERNAL. That's going to increase the profile of any tire to OMGWTF levels

Going there this weekend to check it out. First trail outing on a hardtail in over 3 years...

No, not yet... Been concentrating on other things, and haven't yet got the prague powder!

Iwan was or may still be sick and in bed, so I'll answer for him... Derby carbon rims, 35mm internal width. Hans Dampf (can juuust see the tyre text) EDIT: Just seen the light on the fork lower - pretty damn neat place for it!

Meh. As for 3 vs 2... not sure. The 3 is split into 2 derivatives. Mallet 3 and mallet 3 dh. Normal one has a slightly smaller platform than the 2, and the DH has a larger platform. Not too sure of the benefits over the 2, but personally I'd go for the DH version for the wider platform

doesn't make one jot of difference. It's all chemicals, at the end of the day...

WHAT!? That's barbaric. And surely going to be sorted out with a firmware upgrade. Besides - I'm on PC, so I don't care. Got my k/b & mouse, and the XB360 for pc gamepad for when I'm feeling lazy

Still sugar... regardless of which way you ingest it, it still breaks down into sugars.

I want a proper wheel first...
