Top Fuel Posted November 28, 2011 Share Go for the 29er hardtail. While you might enjoy the Zula on some of the descents, I think the 29er will be of more benefit in the 2nd half of the race. Remember to stop and enjoy the burgers, doughnuts and other treats.+1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLuvsMtb Posted November 28, 2011 Share Have taken the plunge and have entered for the first time. I am 43 and no racing snake and just want to finish the event within the cutoff time. Would you recommend riding a 26" full suspension (Morewood Zula) or a 29er hardtail. There is a weight advantage with the 29er as well as it having a more comfortable riding position, but the terrain seems to suit the full suspension bike. I have ridden the 29er for between 8 and 10 hrs in 4 previous races, but never the Zula for more than 4 hrs. For me its not as relaxed as the 29er, but much more forgiving on the lower back. Thanks SiggieDid my first 2 Attas on my hardtail (26inch). This year I did it on the Zula. I made up more than 2 hours in the first half and lost less than 1 hour on the second half, compared to my hardtail times. The zula gives me much more traction on the 25% plus inclines in the first half, leading to better efficiency and making much more of the steep ups ridable. No second guess required as to what bike I'm taking next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpedro Posted November 28, 2011 Share I reckon a 2X10 full sus. 29'er will be lekka at Atta. That would be my weapon of choice as well, but only if I can afford something that weighs more-or-less the same as my current 26er dual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
