Hi all,
First time of posting even though I have been reading for a whilst.
I am currently facing a dilemma many of you would have been through in whether I should upgrade my current entry level hardtail or buy a full susser.
At present I ride the newly built blue trails around Bristol and Forest of Dean. I did Cwmcarn in Wales with my mates and that was like a rodeo ride.
Whilst I like the hardtail I intend to start doing more red runs at places like Afan, Cwmcarn etc where the terrain will be a lot more suited to a longer travel than my current 100mm and a full susser.
As such I was wondering what the general consensus would be.
My view is that upgrading the hardtail, forks mainly will only be suitable for a whilst, will be sufficient for what I currently do and help me to learn things suck as choosing proper lines.
A full susser would enable me to go faster, have better kit, will cope with more trails and will last longer than the upgraded full susser.
Your opinions would be greatly received.
Thanks
