why do they still make 26 inch bikes if 29ers are clearly the way forward?

That sucks.

 

If I had a daughter I wouldn't let any hubber near her…

 

Ja well, if you had a daughter you would realise how difficult it is to completely control her life. All we can do it instil our values and let her get on with her life. We introduced her to the cycling lifestyle at a very young age. Now most of her friends are male MTBers including some of the top riders in the country.

 

Norm has convinced her to join the Hub... :o

He wasn't shy about chatting up my daughter after the ride though. He told her about the bike via bbm but I have since heard through another source too.

 

Ja I agree with tumbleweed... I would clean my rifle while giving him the evil stare. Then tell him you have plenty of lime and a large garden :devil:

I have my ways and means... The best part is that she has learnt how to handle them all.

Slick - if you need back up I'll happily play the crazy uncle role to scare off would be suitors!

We were lucky to have Spez come to George over the weekend , you could test any bike you wanted

So the morning me and my wife went to a xc race and afterwards she went to test a small epic and i took the xl,

She is 1.57

We took the bikes all over the place and lastly we went to the famous climbing switchbacks

Asking her what its like , she said it handles very nice and better than her 26'er

I think it a matter of getting used to riding a slightly bigger bike and then it;s all good
