That's how the Hub works isn't it? We all share and learn from each other. No sarcasm needed.

Easy there big guy. There was no sarcasm intended. You'd be surprised at how many people make the softail comment without actually knowing what a soft tail is.

I went from a 29er to a 26" and I don't think its downgrading. The smaller wheels is much better for the type of cycling me and @Team Cube does.

My apologies Grebel, mistook your comment for a sarcastic dig.

 

Yes, you so often hear people refer to a dualie as a soft tail. The Tread magazine had an article a while ago explaining the difference.

Sarcasm is the fuel that runs the hub

So difficult to tell though without the sarcasm font switched on.

Very nice bike.

 

What is it that you are struggling with?

 

Maybe because it feels like a full susser and not a soft-tail.

This topic is so last year, BUT:

 

A dualie set up right is just as fast as a hardtail!

[Guest Hollow Man]

Pfft We all know that a soft tail is what you get from sitting in the lounge and eating too much KFC...

My average speed with my dual susp 26'' is better than my average speed was with my hardtail 29er.

It was a lekker 29er (much lighter than the dual susp).

 

Or maybe I'm getting better!

Or it's easier to ride fast when you're actually enjoying yourself.
