    DDD, we look forward to seeing in the 'MTB Buying Advice' section of the forum. Once you've bought one, we can introduce you to some of the dirty* burds who like to ride mountain bikes.

    Quick glance and I'm unimpressed so far. The title had such promise :(

    The most entertaining bit has been the highlight in the URL that DDD provided. Busted much?

    Also enjoyed ITB's more pithy summary and the oversensitive response from the MTBers.

    That thread was about a very real problem which had been ongoing for about 6 months and was resolved through advice about a better, thinner saddle..

    Hang on I though Col Du Balham Hill was the most overblown claim on bikeradar - promising so much but delivering so little.

    They're a friendly bunch aren't they. Thankfully the few MTBers I know aren't such third-rate frat boys.

    Why is there no dedicated section of the forum for CX banter???
    Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.
    Rule #9 // If you are out riding in bad weather, it means you are a badass. Period.
    Rule #12 // The correct number of bikes to own is n+1.
    Rule #42 // A bike race shall never be preceded with a swim and/or followed by a run.

    I thought CX was just what roadies did in the off season (if they were so inclined). Is there a CX sub section over in Road?
