Define freeride, Ton.
Giant Faith are pretty much bombproof in their new format.
Ton
This is THE bike for you 🙂 Stiff as ****, and you will never brake it! Choose the coil option and bingo, perfect!

You won't break it! Ride DH on it, jump on it, ride XC on it and tomorrow I'm taking it up a 1000m's climb to ride back down on it! It's fun.
Orange Blood FR
The new 2010 Scott Voltage FR range are awesome
You would say that....! 🙂
Going well, bumley?
La Bruja Ton?
Knolly Delirium T?
CFH - Yeah its going great!
And yes I would say that as i've just ordered a Voltage FR10 for myself!!! 😆
buy something that won't depreciate quickly
or if you search your shed, there's probably something in there you could use
Good for you, bumley! Much deserved!
Now, how about you sort me out with a CX bike, eh? 😉
brakes
no there is not.
it is now devoid of all things robust..........baring the el capitan, but that is my xc bike innit.
Surely what you need is one of these, WTB have even made some specially fat tyres for it. (Available to all of us soon though hopefully)

Nice try CFH......but if I sort u out then I'd have to do it for everyone!!
There can be NO favouritism on STW 😉
anyone know when the wfo is available..
Santa Cruz Bullit
Intense Uzi or Tracer if you want lighter
Orange Alpine or Blood
Bumley, it's not me, it's you. It's over, I'm sorry.
😉
I just bought a Scott Gambler FR20. It certainly is strong.
Kona Stinky.
Great bike to ride. Shop around for a good deal on a smoking spec and the world will seem a better place.
Tony.
You need to talk to Devin Lenz.
He'll sort you out for sure.
stu, done that already, it is in the pot..
thing is the 29r forks available are not up to the job yet.
a guy on mtbr has shoehorned some 29r wheels onto a pair of fox 36s using a dremmel i think..... 😯
Suit you sir.....

Ton, YGM
Yep there's a guy machining the brace out on the 36's so you can get a big boys wheel in there.
Go on mate test it out for the rest of us. 😉

Suit you sir.....
foes are bringing a 29r out in the near future, but not near enough.......... 🙄
might be a silly question, but i presume 29er wheels are up to Freeriding?
*laughs a little bit at Si*
simon
freeriding as in a very strongly built bike suitable for riding off things i.e kerbs and steps on the way to work.
and my 29r wheels are as strong as any fr/dh wheels.
kris holm 47mm rim on hope pro2 built with sapim strong spokes throughout (the ones that are double thickness at the hub end).
*laughs a little bit at Si*
Woooah double post
mmmmm, ok. Would like to see a really good rider on a 29er, not that i'm doubting 29er wheels, just curious as it seems new ground for 29er wheels?
Top of my FR list at the moment would be a Blood. Stolen, sorry, borrowed Chipps' and it's so much fun.
kris holm on utube
1 bloke, 1 29r rim, awesome..
Si.
get yourself over to MTBR an have a look at some of the shit Aqua's doing.
CFH - You've broken my heart 😥
That Kris holm youth is a bit rubbish ;0
Ton - The Foes 29er will be available in 3-4 weeks.
The first batch of 29er frames have just gone out for heat treating.
