Hey guys, here's my bighit.

Feel's awesome to ride, a huge upgrade over my old Stinky. In my mind anyway. Udi can confirm the smile that was firmly planted on my dial after we went out for runs at the local today.

The forks feel amazing, as does the shock. The brakes are awesome and allow me to brake less, and later. Can't wait to get her out to a proper track to give her room to open right up.

Thanks to Jack for selling, Udi for putting up with my constant nagging and pestering. again... and Sam, for buying my old bike. And the Academy, just because.

Enjoy Guys, I know I am.

Nice bike jono, looks good and light as well, unlike that stinky.

Tell me how its different in terms of geo and rear suspension performance, I"m interested to know how it compares to the stinky in this way. I know its kinda hard to distinguish how the frame's different when you have all those new better parts, but it'd be good if you'd try for me :)

Nice ride you've got there. Im sure udi has mentioned something about that rear rim, but if you came across a lighter 24" it would make it handle and pedal soo much better. Otherwise very nice, enjoy it.

Yep yep. We had a talk about that the other day. I think I'll either.

A. Ride this till it dies
B. Source a lighter rim.

How would something like an MTX go?

And Rhys, I'll get back to you after I have a bit more of a ride. It feels much lighter and accelerates/turns/does everything better than my old stinky.

So. Happy. :D

Riding basically a 24" mag30 till it dies is abit of a task, but you never know if the join will go or not. You are probably better off trying to sell it off and put the money into a mtx. With a quality build, i don't really think theres a better option out there weight vs strength.
