Cutting, just cutting. Trust me the wound needs no more salt.

Thanks Jdog. Gave the nobmobs website a good looking over and there looks like plenty of ride options. Looks like the bike might make the trip.

Yeah it's wet up here alright. Luckily I'm in Townsville just south of where the downpours are happening. We're getting just enough rain to make the trails tacky which is always a good thing. Thanks for the advice. I'll check out nobmob and see whats on offer.

Hey peoples, Will be heading down for a short stay on the Northern Beaches next month coming from North Queensland. At this stage it looks like I'll be shacking up somewhere in Forestville and was wondering whether it's worth lugging the bike all the way down to hit the local trails. Will have...

I'd say at the moment it's a couple of hours per day. Great site with lots of informative views and conversations. Great way to pass the loose hours.

Thanks for all the help people. Have decided to stick with a medium Specialised Epic Expert. Looking forward to getting out on the trails more often now.

I'm riding a borrowed 07 specialized epic expert at the moment. It is my first experience with a dualie but set to hardtail firm I hardly notice any bob. I'm keen to take it out on the weekend and really put it through it's paces so I can compare it to the maestro suspension on the Trance.

It worries me having the...

Yeah I have stood over a 20 inch and they feel slightly big. Will be riding this week so should get a better feel then. Having been riding a bike thats oversized for a long time now everything smaller feels better. Don't want to make the mistake of buying too small. Can I ask what price you...

Spinner/Organicrye good to hear you talking about Giants as that is where I am focusing my attention at the moment but had my apprehensions about going 20 inch. Once you put shorter stems on did that fix any size issues for you? Is that the sort of thing an LBS would do for a demo?

Hey people, I am looking to get back into the mountain bike scene after a prolonged layoff and have decided to finally bite the bullet and get a new bike. Currently I have an old HT Avanti Montari Comp. Long story short the LBS where I bought this from back in the year 2000 sold me a bike...

Lilau & Chippamania. I've been tossing up whether to go with the XTC1 or the Trance X1. Your comments have certainly gone a long way to swaying me towards the Trance. For curiosity reasons can I ask what your height and weight are, what size frame you bought and having put the bike through its...
