Whats Lance Armstrong got to do with it

IMO for what you've listed a decent 21" HT with V brakes fitted with tyre liners will suffice.

Me ? Never

Silly Sauser, as punishment they should make him ride the 2012 epic on a 26'er.

Best answer, give this man a bells.

Cheap end bikes and components wont last rather go 2nd hand and place an ad in the wanted classifieds.

To each their own, they my choice of tyre and don't cost an arm and a leg.

Eish,sorry to hear Speedy recovery

Dont get out much ???

My Easton circuits lasted me well till the front got damaged in an accident, been using the rear together with EA70 front but have not used the rear EA70 yet.

That is rare for Easton wheels.

Love these clips

Take it back, if Hotspot and Merida want to do good on their rep they will sort it out, crank sounds like an assembly problem, fork a manufactures.

Not quite Thanks for all the support. Yes we do have insurance but not close too what is gone and damaged.

The taxis on that stretch of road have a habit of doing that, many times iv'e had to avoid them.

A 29'er Hat...coat...door.

Your combination of 26DS and 29 HT would be my ideal and suit my riding style, but I bought the 26 HT to do the 24hr last year then got the 29DS at a very good price mid this year. I ride the HT weekday mornings then switch to the DS weekends.
