i posted yesterday, asking about big burly fs 29”, i may have been a bit hasty and rash thinking about it.
i want to take a bike up a proper mountain, which will probably mean a fair bit of carrying and pushing.
when i get to the top, i have dreams that i will blast back down like a trail god, launching off every little jump, blasting into corners speedway style, straight lining through rock garden using all my suspension. in reality i will bimble down slowly, trying to pick the smoothest line, getting off to climb down any steep drop offs and evading the rock garden because i dont want to puncture on the way down.
the rest of the time, when i am not owning the mountain on my burly tough fs beast, i will be riding the odd trail center, slowly up and a bit quicker down. i will be riding routes i know in the lakes, where a burly fs bike is not really needed. i may venture to the NYM, to ride muddy boggy route, again slowly. i may even head up The Valley to Hebbers to ride the honeypot trail, most of which i have ridden on various hardtails over the years.
what i am saying is, i think i may be thinking higher of my ability the the steady honest truth……. 😀
idea’s for a nice easy riding hardtail 29r…….. 😆
