Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but not their own facts.
This one Is priceless, Love It
In this thread you have presented your opinions, based on your own self-admitted lack of experience, as fact.
I have no words LOL
This thread does not make you look like any kind of reputable source of MTB information. Especially when you couple your unsupported "facts" with you quoting MBA articles as a source.
I will have to hire a bike wrench and a racer to help support me I guess and the quote form MBA was simply a single quoted line, just a comment, I doubt It was documented or debated, I just liked the quote and It was exactly how my plus bike felt on my first blown out corner.......
Um that was a first hand experience btw.
I read this twice Yak, thanks It was good stuff ..
