I've been racing my 29"ers for the last 8 or so years in events ranging from standard XC to 6 and 12 hours enduros. I and it seem to do much better at the enduros than at the shorter XC type stuff.
I've tried the Mary's and didn't really like them. The sweep was fine, but the rise got to me. 29"ers are high enough in the front already. I don't need a riser bar up there.
I have H bars on the Haro right now, and I'm really liking them. I'm going to try them in a race this Sunday down in the...
Shops going quite well, thanks. Plenty for me to do. Keeps 'net surfing down - but I really don't mind that too much. It makes slower moving boards like RM and DR easier to deal with. Mtbeer is too fast, and frankly getting too boring to keep up with.
Not to totally derail this thread - but McMG - yes the Exile comes with a geared rear hub, spaced with a single cog. Get this. They use 33/21 gearing. Smart move in my mind. BUT, the cog is a standard geared cog. In combination with track ends, and a standard QR rear hub, this spells jumped...
I've got a Dakota on the floor. Pretty nice bike - but then you'd expect me to say that. I doubt I'd ride one though - just not an aluminum fan. Years of Cannondales have turned me off the material. I know its better now...but still that stigma hangs on.
**** - for five bills, that's a great deal, especailly something with that much heritage. Like Mike says, there are a number of really nice touches on it. Just wish the stays did curve quite so much. Or that the TT curved a bit to match the stays. But thats really a minor quibble.
I hafta agree with N8. ATMO, 96'ers are um...fugly. To put it mildly. Like I posted after your Soul 9B, it looks much better that way. If EWR were to do a 29/650b set up, to keep the rear short, I may actually be interested in that. But 29/26? no way. They may function fine - but god are they...
If you were buying at retail, I'd fully suggest going with either the Redline D660 or the Haro Mary. Both are better looking and lighter for less money.
Then I re-read your post, and it sounds as if you can get the Fuji for cost. Can't beat that price. Grab it. With out thinking. If you happen...
