Capricorn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Your strength is your weakness....sure its nice and pretty to have a linkage design that nasa engineer did...maintaining it well that is when the "poppe dans" so to speak. its it not like something nasa designed to go into space over and over didn't go up in smoke instead... rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the ones above weren't "bad" they just weren't for me. The Ali Spec enduro and the carbon reign were both too big for me and set up for much heavier dudes. The Rune was amazing but I only rode it on a DH track. The Ali Altitude had a faulty rear shock. Etc Etc. There's also the fact that I'm not exactly a good rider.

And me, but that's beside the point. Slowly getting her right - just haven't had enough bike time to get the settings as dialled as Robin has. But yeah - you're like 20kg lighter than me (min) so it must have felt like a rigid. Likewise your GT felt like a boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
