i like my meta 5.5. Pretty standard build: pikes, xt, hope on 719’s, high rollers. I think it weighs 34lbs. Seems quite heavy! nice ride though. Does attract MBR types though; can’t go to a trail center without peple commenting on how there not stiff and the head angle isn’t the same as the ’07 or ’09 :roll:

When i Tested these body fat scales for a national magazine; we concluded that they were pants. Wen’t from being obese to malnourished on different sets of scales one after the other!

I believe that they use resistance as a measure, sweat, heat, dehydration and salt levels will all play a part in effecting the measurement.

quite like ST the way it is, as with all mags (bike and non bike) it has good months and bad ones. The less it is like MBR the better (too many reveiws, too much opinion on bikes, not enough objectivity)

my favourite artivcles this year have been the hangmans loop (was that what it was called?) abd the bivvying features.
