Jacodk Posted April 19 Share I have a scott scale dual aluminum now very soft ride in the rear But had a merida carbon full racing hardtail it was quick and very light i do miss that hardtail But hard on the rear when doing 70 + kilos and sprinted faster than a softail.

Skubarra Posted April 19 Share 14 hours ago, MatBlack said: Did just over 18hrs and 210kms last year in some pretty horrid conditions on a hardtail. At that time...if i had any nuts left I would of gladly traded at least one of them for a dual sus. Some pretty spectacular conditions made me consider a DS...looking back i would still use a hardtail but just specced better for what i was doing. Was a diehard hardtail fan for many years. For me it was 300km Tankwa corrugations over 20 hours that killed me (and the guys around me on FS bikes still looked fresh like daisies) & a 100km mtb race at McGregor shortly after where I was again broken and beaten by guys on FS bikes who I knew for a fact are slower than me. Made the switch shortly after Not quite convinced a better specced hardtail would have made the difference but an intriguing idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eala Posted April 19 Share I have several bikes of each category except downhill .As somebody that has gone over to the dark side on a gravel bike , i need to reduce and sell some bikes . I will keep the gravel and DS and the road and 'very nice ' hardtail can all go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyLuke Posted April 24 Share Ready for swartberg100, only doing the half, didn't have much time to train, will be a slog going up swartberg against the gravels but there's a nice downhill at the other side to let it rip a bit😁 Phillippe Coetzee, _David_ and Ruben Hechter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
