Unbeliveably fast, massively capable, surprisingly comfortable and WILL make you a better, radder rider. I guarantee there's no 29er that'll come anywhere near to it for tech fun and speed.</p> <p>Build it with beefy forks, 1x10 and big bars and a short stem. Get those chainstays slammed and rag the death out of it. YEAH!</p> <p>I move the forks between 110 for dickin' about and playing and 140mm for big mountain epics. I've had mine 5 years next month and had several, much more expensive, bikes since and it's still my favourite. I'll never get rid of it.</p> <p><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-HvUiEieNXqQ/Twmbm4JIA-I/AAAAAAAABVU/KqevW169T7c/s640/P6230005.JPG"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/advice-needed-on-do-it-all-hardtail#post-3816109 Mon, 21 May 2012 22:27:32 +0000 Trekster 3816109@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Depends on your definition of do-it-all?<br /> See the Garburn thread, I did that on my Mk1 Blue Pig with 7yr old Fox forks<br /> I am more of a wheels on the ground/xc rider so cannot comment on it's jump performance. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/advice-needed-on-do-it-all-hardtail#post-3816093 Mon, 21 May 2012 22:22:45 +0000 RealMan 3816093@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Chameleon.. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/advice-needed-on-do-it-all-hardtail#post-3816086 Mon, 21 May 2012 22:21:55 +0000 matt_outandabout 3816086@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Another Sanderson here...more XC than jump park mind.

I ride mine at Wharncliffe, muck around on jumps and pump track, plus do long (for me) 25 mile xc rides around Hebden Bridge. 1x9, fat tyres (Hans dampfs), dropper post, it's immense fun.</p> <p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Andelusion/Bike%20Stuff/DSCF2035.jpg"><br /> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/Andelusion/Bike%20Stuff/2012-02-21135838.jpg"> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/advice-needed-on-do-it-all-hardtail#post-3815740 Mon, 21 May 2012 21:08:59 +0000 Fortunateson09 3815740@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I have an Evil Sovereign as my only bike and don't think I'd swap it for any hardtail. 140mm forks, big brakes and 1x10 for maximum radness.</p> <p>Best handling bike I've ever ridden and as versatile as it's possible for a bike to be.</p> <p>Sliding vertical dropouts means mega short wheelbase, too and as we all know, length of wheelbase is inversely proportional to fun factor...</p> <p><img src="http://i751.photobucket.com/albums/xx157/fortunateson09/IMAG0182.jpg"></p> <p>I think they look great, too. </p>
