Iwan Kemp Posted April 1, 2009 Share Hmmm. I suppose in that case what do you prefer / do most of your riding on. PS Nobody likes a show-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spano Posted April 2, 2009 Share hardtail,,, racing dual sus just too expensive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighter-Lights Posted April 2, 2009 Share I can't make up my mind... Back on a light hardtail now, but it's so friggen bumpy that I often think and feel slower on rough stuff, but it def. climbs better... Then again - some of my best results to date were on a dual susp. Hardtail (9kg) for shorter races with lots of climbing. Full Susp (10.6kg) for 24hr Solo, more technical races... I actually think the dual suspension is faster than the hardtail on almost everything except on big climbs... I'm confused.. now I feel like building up my full suspension again Brighter-Lights2009-04-02 12:48:24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagwil Posted April 2, 2009 Share Once you have ridden a full suspension bike you will find it extremely difficult to go back to a hardtail. Full suspension is the way to go and NOT only for the old "ballies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathrix Posted April 3, 2009 Share Hard tail all the way. Just look at Kevin Evans with the dual on the epic...chose soft and lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaieSukkel Posted April 3, 2009 Share Increased number of parts on a bike results in decreased reliability.That's why a single-speed hardtail is such a tough bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettski Posted April 3, 2009 Share Oh, yes, and Burry and Christoph did soo badly on dual suspension, as did Bart and Chris, and of course the trek factory team? I'm afraid kevein and David just got beaten by stronger riders this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bos Posted April 3, 2009 Share Increased number of parts on a bike results in decreased reliability.That's why a single-speed hardtail is such a tough bastard. But how Relieable is the Rider?? You should Check your joints and NUTS after every ride, They will rattle loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
