Fixed it for you.Second that, Jason English seems to be pretty happen with his (pay cheque)
He seemed to win every race on his pivot too. And his BMC.
He could ride a single speed 24" to win.

Hopefully they've fixed the whole brain thing but I know a couple of people who have gone through several brains in not too many years and they don't actually ride a great deal compared... I think some got replaced under warranty but you'd want to be sure it's pretty awesome as it's another expensive part that can fail catastrophically.apparently the brain system on the specialized is about as close to a hardtail as your likely to get (as told to me by a salesman). the way it was explained is that it only allows travel when actually dropping the rear due to the way the inertia valve works. not really my cup of tea because i actually enjoy a little plushness while climbing rough terrain or failing to hop a log, but might be right up your alley if you want something that acts like a hardtail unless REALLY needed.
I haven't owned my "Brain" equipped bike for long, so I can't speak for long term reliability. By all accounts from 2010 onwards they're very well sorted.Hopefully they've fixed the whole brain thing but I know a couple of people who have gone through several brains in not too many years and they don't actually ride a great deal compared...

She said i need to get a bike that when i bend over i do not bend my back, i bend at the hips. She said that the smaller frames cause you to bend slightly in the lower back to reach the bars and this is causing the issue. She also suggested that reducing the vibrations that hit the back will aid in healingHas this physio given you a proper bike fit, or has he just made some recommendations?
I'll keep it mind and have a test ride. thanks, it sounds alright....As mentioned, the Scott has the handle bar mounted lock out. At 1st i thought it was a bit gimicky and i almost took it off, but after a bit of playing around ive found that I can run the shock a little softer than i normally would, which is great in the rougher stuff but completly lock it out when I get to a climb or to sprint along a fire road. When its loocked out it feels just like a HT. They are pretty light straight out of the box too.
So sounds like you need to lengthen your saddle to bar measurement? Would a longer stem, and possibly raising your handlebars on your current bike help? Won't help with vibrations of course though.She said i need to get a bike that when i bend over i do not bend my back, i bend at the hips.

True, if your'e sitting like Mary Poppins, and hunching your back over, try sliding your saddle back like pinkbike says (or getting a longer stem) and bending at the hips and keeping your back straight.So sounds like you need to lengthen your saddle to bar measurement?

I've got the current saddle as far back on the rails as possible and I've already put the maximum number of spacers in my fork steerer. However, I could try with a riser bar and a longer stem with more virtical rise. IF thats the problem.True, if your'e sitting like Mary Poppins, and hunching your back over, try sliding your saddle back like pinkbike says (or getting a longer stem) and bending at the hips and keeping your back straight.
Some bike stores will offer this service, but in Melbourne it would be worth seeing Emma Colson at topbike physio Topbike.com.auDo you think my lbs could set the bike up correctly for me? Like with all that biomechanical stuff?
Emma is in Europe with her touring company until July. I only know this because I tried to book in with her and got her email this morning.Some bike stores will offer this service, but in Melbourne it would be worth seeing Emma Colson at topbike physio Topbike.com.au
I haven't seen her myself but know plenty of people that have. The cost is pretty minor for the value of setting up your bike perfectly, and you will then have full measurements to use for all future bike setups
