    Opinions on 29er Hardtails

    I ended up deciding on a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR EVO instead of the 29er and got a nice deal at BikesnBoards in Stuttgart. So far I've been very impressed with the shop and have met some cool people through the Saturday group rides that they host.

    Opinions on 29er Hardtails

    I just signed another 6 month extension to my work visa and finally saved up enough money to buy a bike. I've never had a 29er and can't afford a full suspension, so I'm looking at 29er Hardtails around 1300 Euros. I was looking at the Grand Canyon AL 29 7.9 which looks like a very nice frame...

    I met a few guys on downhill bikes by the Art Cube today. Hopefully I'll get something figured out so that I can get my dh bike here in the next month when the weather gets really nice. Here are a few pics of me riding some trails in Colorado just to keep the thread interesting. Ridin the...

    What is the reason for the 2m wide bike track? You could drive a truck through that. Is it actually enforced or just a suggestion for legal reasons? My other option is to bring my xc bike, which is a 2006 Titus Motolite. I know I'll use it more over there, but it's not worth as much, I have...

    I'm moving from the USA to Stuttgart-West at the end of the week. I can stuff one bike into my luggage and thinking about bringing my DH bike. How is the downhill in Stuttgart? Are there any DH trails that can be ridden by taking a train or bus to the top of the hills around the city? I...
