i mountain bike fairly regularly. My point wasnt to discount the thread and say noone cares, I was pointing out that "caring" is really a relative term on an internet forum. I was a bit out of line, but I am just adding my .02 and not appreciating the dou-chebaggery. This forum is attractive to me because of a more genial aspect among posters. What I enjoy about mountain biking is climbing and seeing sights unreachable by any other means. The hardrock seems to be a bast*rd child of a downhill and an XC bike in my book, and really doesn't do much well. The RST fork might as well be rigid, the discs are shameful and Acera can only shift well new from the box. I know some prefer varying levels of suspension, but I dont like any. My CX will be used as a rigid 29er basically, Id call it a mountain bike therefore. Im sorry if I put you guys off, and frankly dminor my e-respect for you is far greater than any of the roadies. I didnt mean to cause trouble here, and I apologise.
