Not sure if I need help or just confirmation of what I think I've already decision the dilemma. I started out wanting one of these, santacruzbicycles.com But now I think I want one of these, http://www.ibiscycles.com/image.php?image=mojo_1&url=/mountain/mojo/&title= Forks will be either the Fox 32's as recommended by Ibis or I might wait for DT to get theirs out in Jan or Feb. Opinions (good ones) welcome |

yes, I'll have one please. but if you are desperate to go off-road then I don't think it'll cut the mustard, but I'm not sure how many of us require FS even off-road in Britain. |

Right bikers - I need advice. I don't get out of my seat to go up a hill - I just change down my gears...should I be getting out of my seat, like other cyclists?? I don't see the point when I don't seem to be slower than them...Not sure. Just want to know the most efficient way to cycle...

My cycle club coach person says best to stay in the saddle and get in the right gear, more efficient and avoids thunder thighs/exhaustion. Show offs will get out of the saddle, according to him! YOU DECIDE

Thunder thighs Jude?? OMG - I wonder if all this cycling will give me thunder thighs?? Oh and for the record - I never have to get out of my seat because I will always change down - that's what gears are for...innit??! |

Thant's what I said! Apparently as long as you keep the cadence high by making sure you're in the right gear (i.e. a low one) all you get is lean thighs like a gazelle. I am mainly going to stay in my low gears with legs going round in a blur unless going downhill I never have to get out of my seat either. granny gears rock.
