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...

I liked Danny a lot more before I heard him speak...

Looking fast!

Fat tire awesomeness!

Seriously he rides on a completely different level...

I own a 29er hardtail and a 160 mm travel 26er. Both are great bikes and have different uses. The claim that 29ers make mountain biking too easy is just hilarious. I mean an 8" travel bike makes DH easier than riding a hardtail. Better tires make riding easier. I am all about parts that improve my performance on the bike. Why else do we buy expensive tires and high performance parts? Because it makes riding easier. Easier a bike is to ride = the faster you can ride the bike. Don't hate on bikes because they're different. And I'll agree with the fact that jumps are not as easy on a 29er, but a lot of people could care less about that.
