If your sticking to pure Djing I'd stick with the hardtail, if it's likely that you'd want to go into anything freeride related in the future get the double.
I haven'thad any experience of the double, but I can vouch for the Bottlerocket as I own one, and can say it jumps very well indeed.
Hello All,
Got a Bottlerocket at the moment which is gettingsold as I want something that can go up hill for the next few years until I can afford as many bikes as I want once I leave uni.
I've narrowed down my choice to a few 2007: Transition Covert, Preston, Cove Hulster, or Santa Cruz...
yeah the riding in the north looks pretty awesome, I saw a lot of stuff when I was looking for a new bike (ended up with a Bottlerocket) mainly in the transition videos. I'm really looking forward to it. Doing a bit of sight seeing so that's why we fancy heading down to San Fran for a bit...

in the uk per gallon it'll cost you about £4.45 or at the current exchange rate $9.79, so i recon a...
if you want to get grips on or off easily, without cutting them or using anything messy, use compressed air to slide them on. takes a bit of practice, but makes it a lot easier, and takes a fraction of the time
