Hmm....I see a challenge coming on....RS Vs J-Cloth in a head to head down Upper and Lower Ladies Only.
Is that picture not pink starfish... at least thats what the link says? I haven't ridden that trail but that bit at least looks doable on HT. I actually did have thoughts about taking the video camera out there this weekend and finding that bit of trail.
Unless you're riding on the road, or on extremely smooth trails then stop kidding yourself - you will be better off on a suspension bike
That's what he said.
He's a dimwit.
Oli, isn't it just that Hardtails are harder to break?... 
Anyway, the American magazine I read last month said that all mountainbikes with 26" wheels and less than 4 inches of rear travel are rendered obsolete by 29ers... What do we reckon to that?!
There are plenty of trails where hardtails are more fun. Bikes are all about fun so surely they will never be outdated.
My 6" full sus has sat in the shed for the last year, my rigid SS and my 6" forked h/tail get all the action. Go figure. Oh, and I was riding full sus bikes in 1990.

& you are narrow-minded & resistant to/scared of change.
Things move on... Maybe you should too?

It is Pink Starfish & I have ridden it on a HT. I've also ridden it on a FS & it was a lot more fun on that. I'm bored of getting beaten up by the trails on my HT. I have a lot more fun riding the trails on a FS, rather than just making it down them on a HT.
Dimwit....
I've had HT and FS, and I take issue with your prescription for the masses; that we'll be better off on a FS.
Not narrow minded, not resistant to/or scared of change, just sensible enough to know a Dimwitted troll when one pops out from under the bridge.
Maybe work on your fitness and skill levels, rather than compensating for them with a snazzy bike.
Nowt wrong with snazzy bikes though, I have one.

I think you're confusing fun with speed and comfort. MTBing isn't meant to be comfortable, it sometimes isn't meant to be fast - it's meant to be sweaty, painful, muddy, and tiring. And fun.
Can't be arsed to read this thread, but you're in Canada aren't you? Don't you have some bromance to kindle? Some brotography to develop? Or a brobecue to attend?
ok, but your idea of fun and other peoples idea of fun is sometimes different and thats allowed, obviously the full suss is technically a better/more capable bike but fun? Thats a different question. Many people on here have had big full sussers and got bored with them smoothing everything out, I had an 06 Enduro, an awesomely capable bike but got bored with it and I'm now loving having a big hardtail, I may get another full suss in the future just, i might not.

Obviously jealous of my many brodowns
the double diamond frame that has made up a bike frame has been around for 130ish years i think.
it will be around for a lot longer that that.
many many designs have tried and many have failed.
hence it's popularity with builders.
and in its strongest finest form as a hardtail.
Totally. Broseph.
Some of these posts are like the Father Ted episode where the salesman tries to sell Mrs Doyle a teasmade:
Salesman "but you won't have to go through all that suffering any more"
Mrs D "But I LIKE the suffering"
I think he needs brotox.

HT all the way sold my FS for well, being too easy! There is nothing better than beating one of those smug twunts on FS bikes down a nice big rock filled decent ie Walnar scar. It's even better when they ask to go in front because they are on an FS bike like it's a god given right, an you still catch them up.
So HT for the sh1ts and giggles which is MTBing and full sus for those who want to make it easier.. yawn boring!
This topic is in the same league as flat pedals v's Spd's...
good luck on getting people to agree with you lol

Maybe if you all rode some decent trails instead of mincing around Southern England!

Twunt! im based in Preston Lancs and ride many NORTHERN routes such as WALNAR SCAR in the LAKE DISTRICT. as mentioned above.

Epic Fail.
Does your Mom know you're still up?
Walnut Scar is loose & rocky, but not very steep & pretty wide. Not exactly tech.

oooohhh!!! good argument!!!!!
Not very steep. MMM doubt that...
So J-Claw please tell us all where you super techy trails are?
What's wrong with Southern England? Where else can I mince then?
Blahdy Blahdy F**king Blah.
So what? I've got one FS & one HT, (I've only been riding 19 years mind,) but the 1st one to go would be the FS, & it's getting that way now actually, You are talking quite bollix.
Not very steep. MMM doubt that...
Not steep - Walna Scar ROAD
Techyish - Lakes
Techy - Derbyshire
Techy - Peaks
Ha, J-claw have you ridden Walnar?
'Course he has. That's him there on his schweet 6" travel full susser with its fierce red tyres. Tight setup, brah!
This has gone way off topic now...
Yes I have ridden Walna Scar, on my hardtail - I would have been faster down it & could have picked more fun lines on my FS.

J-Cloth mincing down Walna Scar

Brings back memories of launching off that on my Cotic and thinking I was going to die after miss-judging my speed....
