Re: The MTB thread
Which one? My mates Carbon ended up with a crack in it but the shop sorted it all out.
Its a toss up between the Boardman Pro HT and the Cube LTD Race. As good as the Boardman is, I'm a bit put off by the 2x10 setup |

Re: The MTB thread
Everyone i know who has had a 2X10 raves about it, easier to use and less weight.
The boardmans are well specd for the price.

Re: The MTB thread
News on the Cube is that the frame is 100% bent, and they can't figure how its happened.
So a new frame is being sent from Cube in Germany... Result!  No news on timescales though

Re: The MTB thread
I still like riding the hardtail for general fitness and short blasts, they are quicker around pines as well when trying to beat my times.

Re: The MTB thread
DMC and I are planning to go to Llandelga on Saturday if anyone fancies it.
http://www.coedllandegla.com/ Aiming to be there as 09:00 when the gates open, potentially aiming to get around the red with black additions twice, but may end up doing the full loop once with a bit of practice time on the skills area afterwards. We'll play it by ear. Any takers? Everybody is more than welcome, it's not particularly difficult just fast and flowing and no one will be left behind.

Much as I completely get 'why' spending more on a mountain bike will get you better / lighter parts etc - I still struggle with the fact that I paid about £1200 for a 5 year old Husky dirt bike, which is just as well sprung etc as a good mountain bike, but yet also comes with an engine in it. Maaaa'd! |
