What are your favorite types of mtbs (suspension, etc.) and favorite
mtbs for various terrains and purposes (as racing, cruising)?Al
The favorite of the rigs is my Jamas Comp XL. Its free ride through and
through. Originally, the components were chosen for strength despite
weight excess. So it is a bit heavier than a true XC rig would be. As
long as its strong enough to take my 250+ lbs. of abuse (which it is)
and run smooth I am happy.
I have a Fox shock in the rear with a 4-bar linkage so the climbs are
not as brutal as other dual suspension rigs I have owned. At times I
don't mind grinding out climbs but bobbing is no ones friend. I like it
a lot. However, I would like to this spring try and take some weight
off by upgrading to some higher grade components. But all in all, many
would be happy with this rig just the way it is.
Peace
