My friend offered me his Stumpjumper full susser halfway around, as he realised I was suffering badly and beyond enjoyment. MUCH better ride with that. Now I want one

The testing of the Niner air 9 carbon HT 29er is next this week
Trek Superfly is a very plush ride but a little slack in the head.. I really like the Giant XTC 0 but it is full-on race geometry.
