Well, to figure this out and then just come straight out with it like that Mike, that takes some major cahones, I mean seriously, you've dug through the BS "We really don't know what we're doing and definitely not over a long term" crap the industry tried to make everyone believe and figured out the most recent plan - make people buy bigger, more capable and heavier bikes, then sell them on using an "assist" to bring back the fun because they're really not as easy or quick up the climbs as they say. BRAVO.
Seriously, another good piece, how I feel all the time and again, not geared towards the <1% of those lucky enough to have the terrain to "justify" such bikes as NSMB , just most would do a lot better with "less" bike than most have. Even though I've only got my fav little Phantom back up and running this year to then have the shock blow and be out again for a good few months, then getting a new shock and getting her back up and running, grabbing the rigid Unit which I haven't ridden in over a month, with some 29x2.6" rubber on i35 rims felt so damn good, despite my love for the Phantom. Prime is now stripped back down and hung up for maybe another future "emergency" if the Phantom goes down or if I decide to maybe join a shuttle day with the guys.
Oh and still waiting for the "LIKE" button to give the writers props even if you aren't feeling the need to comment to let them know they did good.
