2nd Bike...WHich One for training?

[Go Big]

I have a foes fly 8" travel bike, thinking of building a 2nd bike for me to hopefulyl get faster, smoother on and help build some endurance and stuff up. Also for bikeless buddies to ride...Woudl it make sense to get a 4-5" Dually bike with a SC fork? Or go with a Hardtail and a 5" SC fork...

HT with 5" SC

if you wanna get smoother get the HT , smoother lines = faster lines

[Go Big]

Ok well not so much smoother..but in better shape..and maybe faster on the trails

If you want to get smoother and better technically, get a HT.

If you want to get faster (I know I'm going to get flamed for this but it's true) get a road bike.

I still like hardtails though!

is that chain red or rusty?

I can't say... Airborne Ranger just stole that on PB when he was gonna build up an 04 SX with a Dorado SC.

Another one:

HT with 6" Slider. After a couple of rides, you will do away with the big bike once and for all. ;)

Id go for a hardail get somthing pretty strong you will find yourself doing more djs and urban with it, It will also get u in shape and smoother.

not sure.. does anyone make a stealthy black chain? i'd get one

[ATN]

IRD makes a black teflon chain but it does not get good reviews. The teflon wears off and gunks it up.

you could go hartail... or go with a bullit they are light and you can pedal shit so that covers endurance, they have the travel for you, 7in. its a greaaaat all around bike

Get a hardtail.. I went from fs to ht and I can still do everything I could do before but smoother. It makes you more conscience of your back end. Riding with a dually can make you sloppy sometimes. A hardtail would really help you alot.
