Who's ridden a 29er and didn't like it?

Oh dear, that Clockwork looks terrible.

They've just introduced one. Unfortunatly they called it the 'Clockwork'.

Arn't MBUK and WMB basically the same mag? Call each other sister mag or something like that. Who do you believe if one mag says X is ace and the other says it's meh?

Must admit I stopped looking at the bikeradar forums because they were full of uninformed trolls just looking for a rise. There's a few mega posters and if you disagree with their thoughts the wolves attack. I asked a few times if those with strong opinions had actually ridden the bikes they slate and it always went quite. Got very tedius. STW's not perfect but seems a little more balanced.

Oh dear, not a fan of that I am afraid.

Agree, bikeradar is good to brwose at times but there are certainly more love/hate arguments rather than reasoned arguments.

WMB and MBUK are sister mags and both run by Future Publishing.

On the review side of things.... I find it strange that the 5 seems to win trail bike of the year in one of the main mags but never gets a mention in the others.

It's sadly non unusual for the 'best in test' etc to go to the biggest advertiser in some magazines - and for non-advertisers not to get their products featured at all...
