Feltgood Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hi - 3 questionsDid your entries have anything to do with the HUB bombing out?What bike would you suggest best for the 2013 routes, a 26 or 29er?Is Dr.Fick 'n Evil going to allow us party legs after stage 3 this year?

DirtBag Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hay Feltgood, don't know what happened to our original hub thread, but it disappeared I think the LotCR is suited for the 29ers, although there are some tight single track sections, with short sharp little inclines where the 26ers will be more suited.....but as a whole.....29ers will be first choice for some.
