Thing is, Riaan, is that the trails in question ARE purpose built MTB trails. So there shouldn't be any argument at all.

A big step would be to approach the Trail and Tar running group. It's a large group indeed, and it's a platform that could be used to get the message across in a proper way.

I'd be fooked at the bottom of that!!!

Nah. Any talk of hashtag #ENDURO ®© hashtag must have those handles to be considered a proper hashtag #ENDURO ®© hashtag reference

Oh... you're also missing a © ®

But is it enduro?

I probably would, too. Depends if the bike I want to replace the giant with is in 650 only, or if the 650 version is better ito geometry and so on compared to the 26er. But I wouldn't sell the giant JUST to get a 650 cos onygodtheyrejustsoawesomeimgonnadie!

Okay - sense time here. It's his thread. Your choice whether to answer or take part or not.

That's just it - he is saying strokes for folks and so on. But he's also taking the Piss out of the whole marketing spiel that has been fed to us regarding 650 and it's special place on the podium when it doesn't actually make all that much of a difference at all. Not like a niner does in some respects, that is. It's all down to geo. If you can't see the tongue firmly in the cheek when he responds to other posts, then... well... The more you get riled up the more he giggles. Proving the point on how marketing has done its job, to an extent

And how is that any different to each of us in some sectors of knowledge and / or expertise? There's a saying. Every opinion has an ar5ehole. And every ar5ehole has an opinion.

He's been here for ages. Quite an experienced cyclist, and definitely not a mid pack gladiator...

"Different and probably far more knowledgeable opinion" Bahahahahaha! You clearly don't know nathrix ® ©

Speaking of... i need to get my reign x assessed

if it's the cycle factory in Montague gardens, they're good guys and know what they're talking about. You can destroy all those things in less than 6 months if they're lower end stuff or you don't take care of them. Also some headsets are made of cheese...

Looks as if it has loooads of life left in it...

Very legit

Aah, you know me too well!

It is quite a good looking bike... VERY good looking, in fact.

Awesome skills. Wish I could ride like that...

Awesome vid...

Considering how far behind some of them were at the first corner, that's not entirely surprising!

Vale also had a stonker of a race. Yes, he couldn't keep up with Jorge or Marc through the corners (damn, that kid can LEAN!!!) But to come from 10th and hit 3rd as quickly as he did, and then be the only one within eyesight of the 2 wunderkinde is a fantastic achievement

You've never seen me trying to ride, have you? Yeah. Exactly. Lol
