today i pulled my old azonic out of storage unit, pumped the tires up and rode around. I forgot how much fun a 120mm fork and hardtail DJ bike can be. i literally rallied it for about 45 minutes in the snow. i almost feel bad its been in storage for so long.

Yeah, after watching the hardtail section on Earthed3 several times, I finally took mine out for a trail ride the other day and thought the same thing. I got so used to riding the trails with 6-7 inches of travel and it is completely different on a hardtail, but just as fun.

It's been several years since I rode a hardtail in this manner and I will be keeping it in the quiver for some time.

hardtail nostalgia is sweet!:thumbsup:

Sometimes, I'll put my 6" Sherman on my .243 and go ride trails.

dam right :thumbsup:

I've been riding big bikes for acouple years now, but at the end of last season I thought it was time for a change. Sold the DH rigs and built myself up a chameleon. I just can't believe how much fun it is, everytime I go for a ride, I always finish up smiling

Spring Rates, Bearings, Pivots, Suspension Designs etc all have their place no doubt, but it's good to get back to the basics :thumbsup:

yea im gonna put my old 150mm marz on it... if the geometry allows for it.

 

[Hardtails Are Better]

Cheers. I've got one FS, which certainly has its place, but hardtails are lots of fun too.

my fully is often discriminated against. I have 2 hardtails that get ridden a lot. but then again, the fully is the whistler/blackrock bike, so it sees more fun :thumbsup:
