I got an offer to swap my Nomad with a Glory Nomad 2011 Shock: DHX 5.0 Fork: Fox Float 160mm 2012 Brakes: SLX Shifter: SLX RD: SLX Chainguide: e13 Crankset: SLX Wheelset: specialized DT Swiss The glory 2010 Shock: Fox Van R Fork: 2010 Boxxer 2010 Handlebar: Race Face atlas Stem: Truvativ direct mount Brakes: Avid Elixir R Shifter: Sram X0 9speed RD: Sram X0 9speed Chainguide: MRP Crankset: Raceface Evolve 38t Wheelset: Bontrager Big Earl The components claimed to be taken new from Session 8 2011. My question is, is it worth to swap? If u ask me... Skip the offer. With the nomad u can enjoy going DH albeit a bit slow... But with the Glory...i dun think u can enjoy riding uphill.... been there, done that, hate it. ive used an XC, Trail/AM, DH, FR... trust me... A trail/AM is the best way to enjoy your weekend ride... unless u r joining the DH fellas....then u have no choice la... but to tell u frankly... Glory is very hard to sell off...well not just glory...DH stuff in general... if u plan to change bike in the future...skip the Glory...

Expert is always Sifu Got 1 noob question here : That is a lots of AM bike in the market.. For instance, 1) Yeti 575, AS-R, SB66 2) Giant Trance 3) Intense Tracer-2 4) Spec Enduro 5) SC Blur LT 6) Ibis Mojo 7) Trek Fuel EX, Trek Scratch 8) Commencal Meta AM 9) Others.... You name it.... I know that brand and setting are solely depends on personal preferences. But is anyone here mind to comment on the bikes I listed above? I just wants to know more on the personal review, experiences, price worthiness??? (Hopes to hear Tim, Xandman or Reza's comment) i just buy what looks good! among all my bike...all look good except one...the banned shit! so from this list...just get what looks the best to u! performance wise all is almost at par...albeit some pros and cons of coz! better still... since u have UNLIMITED budget... get something u dun see ppl riding or less ppl riding...

How come I feel like I read this somewhere... 142mm treaxle is future proof? I thought that is proprietary thingy? Thing like 30mm seatpost... ? bcoz wise minds think alike? hahahahaha... 142 is considered future proof la... since it is backward compatible maaa.... can use 135 oso...with spacers... i think that is future proof la...

Before I got my Scott Spark 60 2012. My budget was $2,500.00 After I few trips to Bikepro. I got a new bike for $5,000.00 plus. LoL! I can't resist the look. (Matt Black+Red) according to research...matte black can make u faster!

I friggin love my white nomad but i want to see what the fuss is about for the new scratch. And the green theme is i used to think the same thing also... whats the big fuss about Trek. After owning one... Let's just say...it's hard to find a better bike to change to.

We are not supposed to work hard because it will signify what going to happen for the rest of the year. Branding is not important if u are buying the few common brands. Not a brand that u never heard of. e.g. Cherry car from China. Yeah... it still run and cheap but you just don't want to be the first on the road to test it out how good or bad it is.... Slash 9 la. Then, u will the first one. Can climb, can downhill, kak Shima all the way.... And u no need upgrade since already SRAM X0... He! He! He! One time pain, whole year enjoy... worth the go... this advice. very powderful. always get ppl to spend more than budget! Added on February 1, 2012, 12:38 pm QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Feb 1 2012, 11:34 AM) Any bike is in my list. But subject to further review and study. Now I found that Downhill/Freeride bike have no resale value, though. Second. I want to hear the comment from Expert. (our Mr.Xand) hehehehe~ FR/DH bike got resale value. but just hard to sell off!

Xand rode a 20k bike with double cround cruising his taman... i still do! like a boss!! hahahha... long time no post here! Added on February 15, 2012, 6:10 pm QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Feb 15 2012, 04:58 PM) Go to LBS...wear Shorts and singlet ....and buy RM23K bike ... Itu baru boss ... Wanna ask...does the rider's body weight be considered when he wants to get a FS bike? will it effect the type of travel too? one question.... got money? then anything oso can. on a srs note...body weight no problem one... if air shock u can pump the air spring to accommodate ur weight.... if coil shock...like timmy said...a little more problem bcoz u need to find a spring suitable for u... and usually u'll need to buy that spring as the standard spring will often be too hard or too soft...(if u r lighter or heavier than the average rider la) and if u need to know also...each suspension design affects spring rate differently... so the best thing to get is a frame with an air shock!

Overall i kinda like this bike..based on review lar.. And i tot climb is based on leg strength? no? leg strength is true. but bike geometry helps.
