When will DPS make the impregnated nano carbon bikes?
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....

There you go, wrong again
Fat is where it's at
and when you get fat you'll realize that suspension is for wussies.
It ain't about inches kidz it's all about girth

The 4-5" of travel on my 29 trigger does feel like more for sure. It just rolls over everything. It's like when rocker first came out, made it easier

Specialized Epic full suspension. I like less travel as I like to climb, don't do lift served, and wanted less weight.Terje was right.

I'm buying some 3.0" tires for my 29er......they should feel like 5" wide.....Terje was right.

Picturing DasBlunt creeping on girls at the trailhead in bike dork clothes makes me giggle.

Full squish fatty for the tech would be ideal for me. Primarily what we ride is tech, but now with limited light (and old eyes) we're riding more flowy buff stuff. For that I don't see the fatty being the best ride and the 29er cruises nicely. Originally Posted by gravitylover

Why do you need fat tires if you have a full suspension?

29er is the best
^^^^that is awesome in a terrible sort of way. The fork, the saddle, the Nokonzzz, the frogs, clear bar tape, and not to nitpick, but PRO bars with SRAM shifters? Cmon now.
