    Blue Mountains Riding?

    If you can get a car, head out to Yellomundee. It is most likely the closest track to Richmond. http://www.trailflix.com.au/tfx_new/trails.php?id=yellowmundee

    29er full suspension...... for a big bloke.........

    I have :( not big enough for these long legs. *Freak* Anthem is good bang for buck so to speak. I am currently on the XTC 29er XL which isn't the right size for me, I might be looking to sell that shortly.

    29er full suspension...... for a big bloke.........

    At the moment it looks like I may be getting a Turner Sultan XXL XT build kit. I was looking at the Specialized Stumpjumper Expert FSR 29er but I have read so many mixed reviews about the brain, after speaking with numerous people who have had the 2011 and previous model of the brain it seems it...

    Specialized SJ FSR Expert 29er with DT Swiss 520SL

    I have been reading mixed reports about them, being a clyde at about 260-270 pound 198cm I have had troubles finding a full suspension 29er. I found a XXL 2011 Stumpjumper Expert FSR which I should be getting in the next few weeks (2012 stock has no decent XXL in it :(). So I am deciding to...

    29er frame size compared to 26er frame sizes

    Matt have you had any luck looking around ? I am in the same boat as you at 198cm and finding it hard to find a decent pre built 29er dually. I am currently waiting on the 2012 range to be released and will be taking things from there. The Specialized Stumpy FSR is what I have in mind.

    29er full suspension...... for a big bloke.........

    Thanks for all the replies, I may just wait until the 2012 range is out and take things from there. I did notice that there is a 09 Turner Sultan on sale, but unsure if I want an older model frame. Once I know what I am doing and have some more options I will come back and update you all ;)...

    Great review, I keep reading everywhere about this bike but I need to keep telling myself NO due to the biggest size 20.5" :(.... I am at the stage where I want a 29er full suspension and I may have to spend the extra $$$'s on a specialized or even more $$$'s on a Tallboy. For the price and...

    Roadies VS MTB'ers

    So these tools have balls on their chests :D. Sure I wear a pair of nicks (They save your balls and ass) but under normal shorts, I still like to go places and not get the weird and odd looks because of the shoes (sidi mtb dominator) and shorts I wear.

    29er Tyres UST TNT etc.

    Yes I realise that there are very few UST hence the TNT ETC in the title :P. I have searched and can not find much in Australia. As this is an Australian site I thought I would try my luck here with 29er tyres that have thicker sidewalls. What are your thoughts on the Specialized 29er tyres ? I...
