Nothing wrong with a nice light hard tail (for the right kind of riding)

Goodwork! I love my 29er hardtail!

Should be an interesting experiment, been riding full-sussers for the last 20 years.

Good lad. You're best rid of that namby-pamby full bounce nonsense.
OP ChrisJD 20 Nov 2013
In reply to Toby S:

Not getting rid of it - this is just a second, sorry third, sorry fourth bike. The Bullit gunnner lives on

Be aware that it will highlight some inadequacies in your skills as you can't just blast through stuff like you can on a full sus, however it will also pay dividends in improving your technique that will translate back to the full sus

In reply to balmybaldwin:

Yep, I'm fully waiting for that.

Ive only ever ridden hardtail, but having tubeless tyre makes all the difference to ride and grip

Will have an industrial supply

Run tubeless on the Bullit, so will probably go same on the HT (at some point)

You will soon man up and buy a cyclocross.

Damn it, if you know, then TobyE will know and the shame of it will be complete!
