I of course,would completely disagree.....but there you go :biggrin:

When I've raced in nationals, it's been a massive help to have FS. The terrain can alter which is best suited, but the FS is usually the better option, i never realised this was in doubt!?

Never had any problems riding the SAMS series on a hardtail. The courses simply were not rough enough to warrent a Fulll Susser, at Checkendon ive even raced on a rigid. Same here in Wales Tracks used for racing are so well worn there is no need.
 
Some very basic and wrong information.

1, If you want strong legs get a road bike.

2, Ok, riding mixed terrain is a pretty obvious one.

3, Likewise training often and consistently is always a good thing.

4, You don’t need full sus at all. It’s nice and on some courses will be of help. But there’s nothing wrong with a good light hardtail.

5, Knee pads, please who wears knee pads for XC?

1. If you want strong legs, get a 'stop me and buy one' trike and ride it round an ice rink full of treacle.
