clyde79 Posted February 28, 2014 Share The Epic is not the come all and go all of what encompasses Mountain Biking. It is a true legend for the "type" of rider and segment of the sport of MTB, but it is just a part of the sport, so quoting the snide comment about seeing if the top riders are on 26'ers is really just a little narrow viewed. Mountain biking used to be very much a sport of adventure and discovery, the last few years though it seems the general population are treating it more and more as a dirt road race ....... But I digress. 26'ers Aint Dead. Back to basics ... you get great 26'ers, great 29'er and from the sounds of things, great 27.5's, but in the same breath you also can get really K@K bikes in either of the above formats. What are you talking about the Epic is the be all and end all of mountain biking. Loads of awesome trails, good single track with time to enjoy the views and banter with your mates. And above all else it is fun. Skubarra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted February 28, 2014 Share On the bacon vs beer, thing, how's this for a compromise? Rogue Maple Bacon Ale is a beer for bacon lovers. The ale was inspired by Portland's Voodoo Doughnut's Maple Bacon Doughnut. The beer is accented with applewood-smoked bacon and pure maple flavoring to give it its swine taste.

DJR Posted February 28, 2014 Share ................ The beer is accented with applewood-smoked bacon and pure maple flavoring to give it its swine taste. False advertising! Bacon beer should be brewed from pigs! Not just flavoured like pigs! Caerus, Tumbleweed and Ed-Zulu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana Posted February 28, 2014 Share What width are your tyres? 1 1/8" at the moment. I am going to get me a set of 24 x 1.8" with knobblies, so I can ride a wider variety of terrain. It gets a bit randy on loose gravel with those skinny tyres, guess it is how cyclocross feels all the time!! Tumbleweed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
