Obviously you're on a mega troll here, and doing good work if I may say so
But most obsessive cyclists seem to have at least one of each and alternate them constantly. Uncompromising extremist0 -

Yeah, that's the problem with owning a very profitable business mate, opinionated people assume you're poor just because you have nothing to do all day.
Do you actually live in a cave or is just a bad photo ?0 -

If no suspension was "better" then motorized vehicles would be making more use of rigid chassis.
I have more than enough power to muscle a heavy duty full suss up a hill. Why would I compromise and use a hardtail full time?
I was joking yeehaa. You really think I'd genuinely suggest that your bike weighs as much as a rally car.
Edit: nevermind.
Sweet zombie jesus, you're a moron.
Stop being a deliberate idiot.
You asked why rally cars have suspension if HT's are meant to be so good.
Someone else suggested it was to do with the weight difference.
I jokingly (note the emoticons) suggested that the weight difference didn't apply to FS because it's not "lighter" than a "motorized[sic] vehicle" used for "rallying" (a rally car?).
You then said that your FS is heavy but it's not an issue.
I pointed out that I was only joking.
You then forgot the previous quotes and called me a moron.
So that's what I'm on about. A fairly simple set of events. If you can't understand that then maybeyeehaamcgee wrote:you're a moron.0 -
either way it appears everyone agrees that fs are better bikes. which is nice.
by the way nickfrog, my house is ok, maybe not my first choice of abode but seeing as your taxes are paying for it i dont like to complain.0 -

You feeling the ghetto vibez tonight then?
And my races this year I will be in the HT category - but as I progress I want a FS frame.0 -
An entertaining read for a past my prime, rich, FS riding gent such as myself!
Well done! Fortes fortuna adiuvat.0 -
sheepsteeth: and your problem with poor people is?
anyway atm i have a hardtail. a hardcore hardtail(with soon adjustable travel) is the way to go IMO and espcially for what i ride. a FS would be pointless for me right now. but also the way to go is have a bike like i have + a freeride or dh FS bike. i shall be getting one in just over a year so that would be perfect0 -
another exmple of someone who has a ht, you love it because it is what you have but you want a fs bike, if you could afford one now, would you buy one?0
