The old skills are coming back quick and fast...........they have to i keep forgetting , no sus !

Hehehe, same here... been using my KLEIN Attitude now for a few weeks and I must say it's really awesome riding rigid to the woods again!! It does take some getting used to, especially in loose sand sometimes the bike will just slip away and throw me off track

I love the bike, steering is very direct, traction is great (with Onza Racing Porcs front and rear), climbing is great and even the thumbshifters work really well (I was afraid that would take the most getting used to).

I resisted suspension for years until curiosity got the better of me. Probably £1000 worth of experimenting, lockout, remote lockout long travel, short travel, Rapid wind down, linkage, coil, elastomer, air etc etc...
Last year I even tried full suss...and you know what? It's taken five years and various days out to "centres" for mountain biking to discover all I want is a 20-30 mile loop of mixed XC and a responsive rigid trail maintainable machine to put a smile on my face 'till the next time!
