Funny, judging by your user name I expected you to be a boy.

in the world of mtb there is no such thing as need. It's all about want..

No, it's "need".
I need a Kona Coiler or Stinky. Just need to sort the finances.

You're right. I'll sell my HT at once.

I've been kind of feeling the same since getting my FS but it all depends where you ride I suppose. Places with loads of braking bumps and the like seem to benefit loads from a full sus, you can carry way more speed and generally have more fun (imo). Flowy fast smooth stuff like the new FOD trail would be better on a HT as you can pump the transitions easier without sus sapping your speed.

You like FS bike more than hard tails, good for you.
Why did you feel the need to come on here and share it?
I just ate my dinner and shortly after took a dump but didn't start a thread about it.

For the same reason you came on here to comment about it.

Coffee, pah, purely for metrosexuals who like buying silly expensive machines and boring people senseless. Tea, the empire was built on it.

I don't need a full suss and I am not actually wrong; in fact, if you were to read this forum sufficiently, you would discover that I am, in fact, right.

Never a truer word said on here.

I never enjoyed my hardtails and even less the steel ones.
FS all the way for me and just to cheese off the 99% of you lot, i much prefer bikes with more than one pivot point.

£20? Cutting my own throat as well, seeing as how useless it is.

Hehe war ! Honestly though, it just wasn't as comfy or fast for me as the fs

Simon, you're just a wuss. In the peak, I prefer a FS too, but I have almost as much fun on a HT. You've just ridden FS too much so you're soft. Ah well, you'll have a Nomad again before you know it.

I agree with you simonm, but there will be someone who hates FS and will be along soon to tell you.
Years ago they would have a good point, but now suspension technology and frame geometry has moved on.
Actually so too have trails - we are riding stuff now way more difficult than we did 10 / 20 years ago in general.
There is still a place for a good HT though, usually under the bum of a very fast and fit XC whippet.

Ah, I see the problem now.

£20?!? And you'll cut your throat too??!! Buddy, you got yourself a deal!*
(*For legal purposes I have no interest in Jamie cutting his own throat. Unless he wants to. Maybe.)

Isnt someone going to tell us that Fully Ridged is better ?

Aren't hardtails for people who can't afford a FS?
Posted 10 months ago # -
You get the same argument on car and motorbike forums too I imagine.
Posted 10 months ago # -
ok so damping, suspension design and geometry (well maybe not geometry and suspension design so much) has moved on in the last few years i'll give you that but come on, do you really think that nobody rode that trail before full sus bikes came along. I bet i could tan your girly ass round there on my hardtail
Posted 10 months ago # -
I cant afford to run a full susser so will stay on a hardtail

Nope, but someone may try to convince us a rigid is better.....

Yes, fully rigid is better.
Depending where you ride it.
