Allrounder Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Hardtails will soon be extinct!!!!Thats what everyone said about 26ers. and yet years later...... Can you get a well kept, good 29er fs for 5-7 k? Stoffies1 1
NotSoBigBen Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Hardtails will soon be extinct!!!! As will LP's or records as some called them or lace up cycling shoes .... Long Wheel Base and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Nick G Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Depends on how old you are Me being closer to 40 and I would say definitely go for a dual-sus...easier on the back BSG 1
NotSoBigBen Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Depends on how old you are Me being closer to 40 and I would say definitely go for a dual-sus...easier on the back I'm a LOT older than 40 ......
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 30..... The back does feel a bit "stiff" sometimes 1.77 and 95kg.
Amberdrake Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Thats what everyone said about 26ers. and yet years later...... Can you get a well kept, good 29er fs for 5-7 k?That will be very hard to get. Let's be honest now even a hard tail with good components will be hard.
Stoffies1 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 As will LP's or records as some called them or lace up cycling shoes ....LP's are making a huge come back.... and I mean huge!! Giro road cycling shoes look pretty cool with laces!
NotSoBigBen Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 LP's are making a huge come back.... and I mean huge!! Giro road cycling shoes look pretty cool with laces! That was what I was trying to say but sorry I didn't use the 'sarcasm' font Warren911 and Long Wheel Base 2
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 That was what I was trying to say but sorry I didn't use the 'sarcasm' font hahaha
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 That will be very hard to get. Let's be honest now even a hard tail with good components will be hard.Thanks for your input. Thats what I thought. So Ill be saving some more then. What is a descent entry level FS bike? I see many people riding anthems?
Nick G Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) If u search the classifieds section here for FS bikes I'd say plus / minus R20k (I ride a Giant Anthem X...really good) Edited April 17, 2015 by Nick G
Allrounder Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Sho, ill have to sell many more houses. Anyone looking for an estate agent...... pm me. I can guarantee front page on private property. Edited April 20, 2015 by allrounder
T-bo Touch Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 I did this year's Absa Cape Epic with a HT and didn't have any issues. But if I had the money, I would go for Specialized Epic FS. HT is good shorter races and dual for longer. That's my 2 cents worth.
Allrounder Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Then Ill rather invest in a good HT, since I don't think ill ever ride more than 5 hours offload. And my current bike is 16,5 kg.....
wernerhp Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 I'm shopping for a 29er carbon ht. Have a 26er ds. Dual sussers are more comfortable, but expensive to maintain. Best is to buy one of everything or get a rigid fork hardtail. no shocks to service.
