Thread: Mountain Bikes!

I think hardtail is okay for some X-Country but for downhilling, it's suicide. lol

I rem Holli I was pulling an 'endo' (front brake on hard and back wheel in air - also called stoppie) and I just hit the dirt as I didnt realise how good these brakes were lol.

Did you ever seen those 'Mountain Cycle' bikes? They were built on the design of a motorbike frame. Man, they were heavy. They also retailed at £4000/$8000 too!

I remember messing about on a demo one at a race and thinking, don't drop this, don't drop this. lol

Looks like they've came a long way since '97...

I love my cannondale super v. I take it out at least twice a week when I can. I am thinking of getting a hardtail KONA one of these days. I just don't do enough to warrant a full suspension bike.

Really love Kona's

The Kula is schaweet!

Graham my brakes are similar. They are by Magura too. Hydraulic rim brakes. I'm just getting into this stuff and I'm already hooked! My legs are taking a beating too since they aren't in good shape yet for long rides. Today though I took the wrong trail and knew I was at an advanced area when I came to a huuuuge downhill area with lots of bumps/roots/jumps. Before turning around I took my bike up it and went down for the thrill anyway. It was fun and scary. Could've broken my neck I guess but I did alright lol!

My latest bike is a 2005(?) Cannodale Prophet. It's a nice ride, but I don't use it anywhere near as often as I should.

Alex,

I own a 2006 Trek Fuel EX9. I ride mostly singletrack trails in Ohio, and a couple of trails in West Virginia from time to time. Mostly I ride in Dillon State Park, Lake Hope State Park, Mohican State Park, The Wilds and Mountwood in WVa.

Alex....remember to be careful out there. I still have a King razor waiting for you.
