Wez-O Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I will introduce you to my mates on 26ers. Do they use 26ers as part of a handicap system? Okay Okay I'm just teasing you 26er's
rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Do they use 26ers as part of a handicap system? Okay Okay I'm just teasing you 26er's He could just post their latest race results....that will settle it me thinks
ZION Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Definitely agree with this... That said I'd take a 29er HT over a 26 FS anyday. Maybe I'm biased though, as for me "fun" is being faster than my mates on 26 FS bikes I will introduce you to my mates on 26ers. Haha.... maybe your pistons are just stronger... the routes i ride .. no chance for a 9r Wez-O and T-Bob 2
Wez-O Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 He could just post their latest race results....that will settle it me thinksBut how will race results be a good judge of who had more "fun"? Sorry for heading off topic hellocolour, tell your friend to buy both! T-Bob 1
rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Haha.... maybe your pistons are just stronger... the routes i ride .. no chance for a 9r You in gauteng I see....where these gnarly trails?....serious question.
Stevief Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Also perhaps a 27.5 inch 120mm is best of both worlds .....not to sure on variety and options on these puppies
rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 But how will race results be a good judge of who had more "fun"? Sorry for heading off topic hellocolour, tell your friend to buy both!Oh no it won't...it will just really say who is faster, won't mean jack sheet...just pulling slicks leg Saw crusher with a fatty on sunday...surley moonlander....the guy had grin from ear to ear...Now that looks like fun Wez-O 1
RockCoach Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I guess my notion of faster can also be different to yours. Ie. down a technical section of trail as opposed to along a sand road. ZION 1
ZION Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 You in gauteng I see....where these gnarly trails?....serious question.Just kms of singletrack i link together from the wilds up to bird sanctuary through linksfield up the ridge.Few jumps that might test that 9r wheel strength,but nothing impossible if you can ride 2 wheels.Might just be more work on the 9r RockCoach 1

Didn't expect to take Strava KOM down there (and not by 12 seconds...) I'm in my 40s ffs. My younger more skilled mates will be much faster than that. Everyone loves gushers bike. Little boys pointing with mouths open. Then he still rides away from meup Delta on it. Bastid   Edited June 18, 2013 by SLiiick

Probably the hardest section on your bike at fun gaalens I reckon. That moonlander moves like a caterpillar....insane to watch it going up curbs etc

That sounds interesting ZION 1

rouxtjie Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 or the worst of both... yip, can't have your cake and eat it...
