[Closed] **** off with your enduro!!!

Riding bikes for 30+ years? How so when you are 15 years old max? Or is that just your obnoxious internet persona?

I've been riding bikes for over 30 year and never once tried making climbing hard work!

I'd like to have your babies.

it was a lot harder riding "enduro" back in the day when I rode my rigid saracen hardtrack

I know you're just trolling, but it's still great to watch.

I only read the first sentence,and that was hard going.

So in conclusion, something that didn't used to have a handy name to make it easy to describe now does. And that's somehow bad?

TBH pussy, you sound like a bit of a roadie to me.

Wassap fools, ahm back and ahm still faster than you.

Pissywillowz bik iz sarcin 😀

Aaarh Jim lass, when I were a lad in the 60s, we rode the same trails that we ride now on mtbs on dropbar bikes with 52/48 front chainrings and the rear 13/21, and our widest tyre was 38mm.

The older generation called us softies and rode them on their fixies with skinny tubs - usually puffing on a fag hanging out of the sides of their mouth. Hate to think what they'd call us now... 🙂

Jethro Tull

One of their more memorable songs for me.

Or 'gnome music' as someone I once knew remarked. Although I do recall them being fun and entertaining live, so long as I didn't take them too seriously.

So I cant help but think of them when I see your username and read your contributions 😀

I hate new people! I hate new things! I love the number 26" for no particular reason and refuse to even contemplate using a different wheel size!

Above all else, I hate it when people have fun!

They're all bastards!!! Everyone, everywhere... bloody riding bikes, having fun, generally just being alive..
BASTARDS!!!

..and I was more than happy just calling it mountain biking!

My email is in my profile and for a small sum (£29) i'll will allow you to [i]still[/i] call it mountain biking!

You do have a point though, we are all getting old.

I can remember when this was all fields 😐

OP
We had this similar customer in the shop a few weeks back

I pointed out some key facts in Enduro compared to other formats of mountain biking thus realisation kicked in for this said customer

And one week later he walked out with a purchase of a 29er

Enduro is the future of this sport and most certainly is a new style of riding !! With both new larger wheel sizes complementing it more so!

ffs

Hahaha typical bike shop owner! It's all a load of marketing drivel, keep feeding the serps!! 😆

Pussywillow reminds me of one of those fat northern downhillers you used to see at Morzine, balding head burned bright red, one of those orange and camo Endura tops, 3/4 camo humvees in size "ginormous" both of which could probaly walk about on their own, pre 2005 rode an orange, post 2005 a Santa Cruz....natch.

[b]What were the key facts you pointed out[/b] and what is your shop called?

Also interested in that.

Bullet points would be ok 😉

I'm looking forward to the realisation kicking in.

Aye ups the ole shep is here! Haha...is that what your other alter ego was called loco? 😆

OP is right of course, we should immedietly rename the race format enduro to simply "mountain biking". We'll obviously have to do the same thing with XC, DH, 4X, DJ and trials - in respect of those who have done similar things on a pushbike without calling them by those specific names in the past.

The thing is svalgis, there is no other discipline in mountain biking to be made up, but this is all marketing ploy to get u to go out and buy the latest "enduro" helmet, "enduro" bike, "enduro" gloves, u get my drift? I mean, come on, what was "all mountain" supposed to be 5 year ago? That soon dissapeared... Instead of agreeing with all the other sheep on here, try being yer own man and say what u think! 💡 😀

Bike companies need another category to flog another bike
Me personally have called it Trial riding for many of years.

Just call this category Bull shite

Who cares, it's all riding. Puts a smile on your face and keeps you healthy.
Chill out people!

Im still waiting for him to regale us with tales of his summer in france

Keep calling it mountain biking if you want, but surely you'll agree that it would be quite confusing if there weren't different names for different disciplines in racing?

I do value your unique opinion though, I've never read "enduro" and "marketing" in the same sentence before. In fact, I've never read anything "new" being disregarded as "marketing BS" on Singletrack ever before. You wonderful snowflake you. 🙂

It's all just riding bikes isn't though 😛

You are aware that enduro is a proper race format, yes? Of course it's going to be milked because it's "new" (I know it isn't actually), but so what? It'll pass.

So you never read what I said about "all mountain" what happened to that then? Never hear much of it since "enduro" came out of nowhere

No, it was made up like I've been saying.

What part of mountain biking wasn't "made up"? Did we emerge from the sea on xc bikes? 😆

what a pussy

No, it was made up like I've been saying.

A quick search on CRC gives 295 hits for XC and 61 hits for Enduro. Why aren't you whining about the giant evil marketing scheme of "XC racing"? I'll tell you why, it's because you are a just as predictable part of the product cycle as the marketing departments and their "sheep" are and you're feeding off the hype of "new" and "fresh" concepts in your own way, by being a sad old grump that finally gets something new to complain about.

I don't own a single enduro branded piece of kit, but I have participated in a few races that I'm very happy were branded accordingly so I knew what I was getting myself into.

What tyres for primordial soup?

Im gonna go out on limb and say pussywillow is steve peat trolling lol.

Lets look at the facts.. watched a Santa Cruz video and has intimate knowledge of grenoside and wharncliffe.. used to ride a GT....

Case closed.

So what is Enduro then? Is it just doing some uphill then downhill so it's not just a downhill (DH). Race, and Enduro is racing right?

Pussypillow, you need to chill out dude.

I agree with u all . Er no I don't !

What should I think !!

So Should I buy a XC bike or DH or Enduro ? Hang on that is an Enduro is it not !

I bet you I'm a lot more chilled than you right now pal! 😀

Of course it was made up. Do you imply that XC or DH racing came into existance under other, prouder, maginificent circumstances that somehow warrants their place as a genuine race discipline, while enduro should just be regarded as "mountain biking" because you're upset that marketing works the way it does? Boo **** hoo.

Like I said before to your fellow sheep....everything was made up at the start. 🙄

I can always count on you aye pal! 😉

Isn't it about time you posted some race results and riding shots, we need some imagery to supplement the dreamy posts.

Have you thought about doing a 'real man' no-nonsense, Mr T style skills course at Greno or Chatel?

So let's see if I have this enduro thing right.

You ride along, climb the hills at a non competition pace, but then blatt downhill as fast as possible.

Right. OK.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong here, but the term 'enduro' isn't new and nor is it MTB marketing.
I did an enduro about 8-9 years ago. It was just a big long organised MTB ride, as distinct from a race, as it was on public land. And you can't race on public land.
The term itself comes from (possibly not solely) from motorcycling where an enduro is, err, a big long organised off road MC ride. Done on bikes that are usually less racy and more comfy than an MX bike, just like an MTB enduro bike is more relaxed than an XC race bike.
The more this WussyPillow kid flaps his gob, the more stupid he sounds.....

I think pussywillows still sulking because he wasnt a good enough biker to handle the UKGE event at inners

bit of training mate, maybe a skills day, youll get the hang of it 😉
