[IMan777]

Are there any stats available on HT vs DS over the last 2 years and current bikes used?

That thing must pick up a couple of kg's of mud on the tyres until he gets the speed for them to shed!

Bar ends on a flat bar have always seemed fine to me

Works for me.

Do the organisers not release these stats?

I cringe to think of losing R30-R40k's value on a bike in a week.

 

It's nuts, if you're patient and smart you can build up a pretty nice trail weapon with that kind of money.

for Joe Soap, aluminium is the way to go. In fact, a Morewood Zula 650 with RockShox RS-1 and XT components to race ready and less than half the cost of stupid carbon fibre bikes.

 

For some okes buying a CF MTB is like buying a McLaren P1 and not knowing how to drive it faster than 120. All show boating.

Absolutely.

 

I've taken part in many a debate on this topic around here, always to be told I'm wrong by the S-Works crowd

 

McLaren P1. Not much to be said about this machine. It speaks for itself.

Not that a S-strike is to mtb what a P1 is too the supercar. No comparison really it breaks down way too often but theres no shortage of willing participants to belong to that flock of sheep. A P1 speaks for itself, all out performance car, finances no restriction. an S-strike is closer to 911GT-3. lOts of them about, all driven by people who don;t know how to drive and they break down often (or burst into flame - make sure you get yours with oven gloves)

 

Gimme a Morewood, PYGA or Momsen for the Epic anyday.
