Mt. Biking: llandegla

just got back from a days demo on a specialized epic at llandegla. after 20+ years mtbing & only ever rode hard tails of different types + makes, i think i may have been converted !!!!!
not sure if full sus was for me i thought i would give it a try & how glad i am .i know a lot of people will be saying wake up ,full sus has been arround for years but i never knew how fast you can go & how well they climb.i only managed 1 lap of llandegla on my hard tail but today i was so excited i went for a second lap ,( not at the same pace as the first lap ) .
all in all what a great day ,even if its going to cost me a shead load of money on a new bike.


So what bike are you going to get?? I've been thinking about a full-suspension bike for a while now too, but want to demo some before spending too much on one.

hi al,i tested the specialized epic expert £1899 (sale price £1599 ish )but i think i will be looking at the epic comp £1599 ( sale price£1299 )only diff bars & rear mech mainly ,which i would update myself .i couldnt belive how fast single tracks were & the way in which it climbed ,as good or better than my hard tail & the test bike had a worn out slick rear tyre.i also noticed how much fresher i felt after a lap ,i think the full sus makes the big hits a lot easer on your body.i cant comment on other bikes but as a hard tail fan this bike is a good mix which i think will be for me.
