Mental Mamba Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Dual without a doubt, in the long run you will thank yourself for biting the bullet and the wallet...although the weight difference does have an impact....... Decisions decisions.... Nick G 1
hayleyearth Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I have been on a full suss 26er for a couple of years now and have this strange desire to move to the hardtail. I love tough technical routes but feel a little lazy on my softail. Guese I want the fastest bike.. Oh yes doing the baviaans later this year.. Have you ever ridden those corrugated roads? Joh they are hard on the ass! Edit: and I can only dream of going to ride all those lovely trails out at the Hogsback (on your doorstep) with my DS Edited June 7, 2013 by hayleyearth
rouxtjie Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hardtail, if you are dead keen on spending the extra money, pimp it out with a nice wheelset. jcmeyerSS and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
HowellingWulf Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I have been on a full suss 26er for a couple of years now and have this strange desire to move to the hardtail. I love tough technical routes but feel a little lazy on my softail. Guese I want the fastest bike.. Oh yes doing the baviaans later this year..Have done the TB on a 26" HT. Having said that, I've moved to a 29" DS beginning last year. I've found that the 29er DS made me a bit of a "lazy rider" in that you do not really have to pick your lines as carefully as you would on the 26" HT - it is very forgiving (if that makes any sense). Pity you cant take the both of them out on the trail to get a feel for them. Don't think you can go wrong with any of the two.
Padawan Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Just lose the 1,76kg (diet).....and go with the full suss. Warren_G and T-Bob 2
Dr Drey Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Hard Tail!.............less maintenance!!!!!!!!!......just get on and RIDE! BarHugger and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2
BushGoblin Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 HT, i prefer them and in this case it looks much better.
Meentb Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 HT for me gives a ride with alot more feedback. You have to ride the bike. With fs you just sit and go with it. My personal opinion. Ill go for the HT. much more fun
Meentb Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Where are these bikes as I won't mind looking at them myself. Think the green on black looks quite tit
StevieL Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Where are these bikes as I won't mind looking at them myself. Think the green on black looks quite tit Just had a look on the Felt site.No dealers within a 300km radius of JHB.WTF?
BergForce Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I ride both 29er ht and 100mm dually. If I had to sell 1 it would be the ht. The Felt dually looks like a great bike with good geometry. I would upgrade the wheels to American Classic Race.
HowellingWulf Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Just had a look on the Felt site.No dealers within a 300km radius of JHB.WTF?I seem to recall that SBR in Sunninghill stocks Felt.
flat29 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Just had a look on the Felt site.No dealers within a 300km radius of JHB.WTF? You can get them at cycle lab little falls roodepoort. They have stock. Speak to francois
