    Overbiked is an idiot term IMO, really gets my back up :P
    Haha, so let me get this straight.

    If you ride a 8" DH bike on bridleway - but you want to use that bike for bridleways then you are not overbiked?

    So in your world, you can be under biked, but not over biked. Interesting :D

    No in my world you just have your bike, and if it’s the bike you enjoy riding in that situation it’s the perfect bike... be it a DH bike on an XC trail if it has the characteristics you enjoy riding then it’s perfect.

    So you don't have a specific bike for all these occasions...

    Offroad with a bit of road
    Road with a bit of offroad
    Full XC
    Full DH
    DH with a little bit of of XC
    XC with a little bit of DH
    AM with a little bit of DH and XC
    XC with a little bit of AM and DH
    DH with a little bit of XC and AM

    ...and you dare to call yourself a mountain biker!

    Offroad with a bit of road
    Road with a bit of offroad
    Full XC

    DH with a little bit of of XC
    XC with a little bit of DH

    Overbiked or underbiked, those do-it-all hardtail dudes make us look like pussies anyway :)

    I hate this thread.
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Underbiked is Cyclocross. Which is why they walk up the bloody hills carrying the bike, and often down them. Across the. Through them. Over them. Around them.

    When I ride my tricycle I'm over biked, when I'm on a unicycle I'm under biked, when I'm on a bike I'm confused and think I'm on the wrong bike, I hate that........
