Hey guys,

By chance have any of you seen the Jan 06 issue of MBA?
I won't be able to get it in Aus until after I leave and I'd like to see the cover. Could I possibly bribe one of you's to scan it???

Thanks in advance!

If anyone has this magazine, take a look the Interbike coverage, and look at the picture of Tinker Juarez and his mom...scary!

i f'ing hate mba, and all there opinions...worst mag ever other than mountain bike:think:

Buy Dirt,Modestbike, or Decline...
I agree with that...MBA and Mountain Bike aren't even worth the paper they're written on. I guess MBA might be a decent mag if you're into XC. However, when if you're into DH, there's maybe one article in each mag that has any type of value...

Any magazine that repeatedly tells you what you ¨need¨to buy is not a quality magazine. MBA is one giant advertisement. The race coverage I´ve seen looks good, but telling me I need a CamelBak to ride XC, and that I can´t climb a downhill bike or anything with a single chainring is total bs. Flush that mag.

Man, I was just reading the MBA dec. '05 issue, and they made a huge mistake in the 36/66/nixxom shoot-out. They list the FOX 36 as having 32mm stanchions(as if the name isn't odvious enough)!
And how did the 66 get put in that test? My experiance with that fork is that it is a 888 that's missing the upper crown, while the fox and manitou are trail forks.

Also does anybody notice the answers in the "ask R.C." usualy are not addressing the question at all?:think:
