    Best way to increase speed would be to increas muscles, ie train in a higher gear, or stanima train in a lower gear at a higher cadence

    Yeah stronger legs and a higher gear are ultimately best, but if your mates have hardtails or rear lock out they might be getting more power down, I'd have a play with my rear shock to balance handling and efficency,

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
