So many haters. I know everyone would rather see the latest 36.35" wide DH bar, its tough sometimes.

As long as you don't sell it you can't get sued for building something.

Walk into a bike shop and ask how many 29ers they are selling, most shops are selling more and more nowadays. Customers do drive the market, that's a fact. And the fact is that 29ers are selling to a lot of people. Most of the AM/DH crowd are not demanding them so there are not many options out there, but a heavy percentage of the XC/Trail crowd are calling for them and manufacturers have began to meet the demand... So I don't think people are getting tricked, I think they just want a 29er. Or am I missing something? (for the record the last bike I bought was a 26)

Kagy on a 26???

Dude, what's not cool about spandex?? But seriously, Its definitely the most comfortable stuff to wear to ride XC. Nothing to catch on the seat, it just works.

So RC still cracks me up. I agreed with 90% of what he said when he was at MBA, and now its the same on PB. Most of what he says makes perfect sense and then he comes out of nowhere with the declaration that Danny has killed the debate about flat pedals. I prefer clips personally, but they aren't for everyone. At least he didn't say the Kona needed a Black Diamond badge on it...
