Bos Posted August 27, 2009 Share Only old people ride soft tails. http://www.taulard.net/video/id/787 Hey' date=' Watch the clip above...Even though as Ive said way back in this thread, I have now got a HT with 80mm fork which I intend to ride/race a bit. which does prove there are some use for the old HT..And I admit It is fast, I do like some of it, and If I ride my roadbike everyday then even the 85mm of frontsuspention feels like a luxury.. BUT there is still the other side of our sport which is like the clip posted above (someone else posted it cant remember who) those kids that eat sh*t... they are like you hardtailers ....speedbumps no that was just a joke.. I will be skinned allive, I just had to say that..no really, a joke.. As you Hardtail ers have said It is possible to ride that Worldcup DH course on a Hardtail right.. and thats also the reason Greg Minaar Is going back to racing a HT because you dont need the suspention....? Im trying to make a point here..there is a whole other genre of riding that do Include High speed, "skill" (and no that is not just the thing you use to keep your HT upright through a rocky section) There are True mtbikers out there, and on here, that dont ride a roadbike for fitness, that prefer to keep it 100% dirty if possible, that think dirtroads are brainless and If we could we would like all races to look like eselfontein 80% singletrack.. and then there are those that dont Race..every ride is about exploring.. about having funn not just seing how many miles I can clock on my Garmin, and How many feet I climbed today.. What Is mountainbiking? I used to know.. what was the question?? Only old people ride soft tails. Oh yes.. I think its us losing sight of the big picture..

tabasco Posted August 27, 2009 Share I've just completed the Baviaans and need to buy a new bike. Now I'm not sure whether to stick with a hardtail or change to a full suspension. I mostly use it for cross country riding. Speaking to the shops' date=' I get conflicting advice. How does one decide which is best? Please help ![/quote'] How did you feel after the Baviaans, if you felt good and not to sore then there is no need to outlay the extra for a F/S however if you looking at doing long distance and you feel hammered after a long ride a F/S will be more forgiving on the body. anything over 4 hrs is bordering on F/S teritory however some guys can handle theharshness of the hardtail for a lot longer. Hope that helps. Hardtail Soft tail its all about personal prference there is no perfect formula. Just don't by a cheap F/S, you will regret it.

jagwil Posted August 27, 2009 Share Only old people ride soft tails. Mmmm. I own one hard tail and two full suspension bikes. Using your logic I can only presume that people who ride hard tails only do so because they don't know any better and can't afford a full suspension bike . By the way it is not a question of age but a question of experience.jagwil2009-08-27 07:42:23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
