It's certainly preferable, but you've missed my point completely.

"I'd go a Ragley" or whatever other brand/component you're referencing without giving any reasoning why provides the reader with absolutely no information. You do it all the time and I've called you out on it before but you still do it. For recommendations, fuck yeah people prefer first-hand experience - Even just "my Ragley was a fun bike, but the fork it was a bit average so I upgraded it later on. Maybe look at spending a bit extra now for a better spec to save some cash later" or something (anything) that gives some additional information. You don't have to justify everything you ever post, but take a breath and please try and give some context and relevant experience as it actually provides some benefit to us.

We know you do have knowledge, as we've coaxed it out of you in the past - like when pressed repeatedly you presented the list of tyres you have tried, and reasons you did/didn't like them - that was useful information to help other forum users actually try and help you find something suitable to replace your current set. A forum is text-based communication. If you don't tell us we can't see what you've tried before or what your trails are like or what your individual strengths and weaknesses or likes and dislikes are as a rider - you need to give us the context. Just popping into a random tyre thread and exclaiming "I'm thinking of trying the new Contis!" tells us nothing other than that you just read something about Conti tyres and now they're front and centre in your mind. Can you not see providing the additional information when first asking the question would be helpful? Maybe it might encourage people to actually help you instead of just get frustrated with you asking the same questions disjointedly across the three active tyre threads, two PYR's, and the "What did you do with?" thread. When you're asking similar stuff across a bunch of threads, if we (other forum users) don't open them in the exact chronological order you posted them in they don't make any sense to anyone. Maybe try tagging the username of the PYR/"What did..." you saw a certain brand or model of tyre that interests you in one of the tyre thread and try and keep the conversation active/ongoing and consistently in one place. This would mean as you look at twenty or so different options and ideas about what/where/how you want to ride we can help remind you what seems to be the prevailing theme over the course of the discussion.

Wow. I think I'll have a Bex and a lie down after reading this latest epistle.

I still ride normal bikes.

I've owned the Cotic since June 2022 and ridden it 2-3 times.

Before that I had (still have) a 27.5 Alu Nukeproof Scout with a 150mm fork which I rode while my Deviate was delayed, I didn't mind that bike as it was the first 27.5 I ever had, did 1200km on it according to Strava.

Frame swap to a solaris now you’ve some spare cash from not having to fix your lads bikes every second day?

Love my Bfe max. I haven’t weighed it but tbh I don’t really care, my fitness hurts more than a 14kg hardtail.

That transam in blue would match my PBJ nicely…….. bloody reno’s getting in the way of bike money.

A USD2699 build of the TransAM will be approximately AUD3250 based on this.
A Norco Torrent S2 has a similar retail of AUD3400 rrp, and has a full Deore groupset, TRP Slate Evo brakes, better wheels. The downside is it comes with a RS Gold 35 RL where the Z2 is likely better, but everything else is a step-up from the Tranny

That norco is selling below 2k now. That's a lot left over for the fork of your choice.

Commencal and BikesOnline have a good range of 20" and 24" MTBs. But the single best thing I did for my kids riding was getting them into the local BMX racing club.
