Any XC Riders out there?

steve peat could ride anything and still win.
.
it really is down to personal preference.

i don't do 750mm wide bars and super-slack headangles for 'x-c' either both all the rage at the mo.

indeed....i like it stiff in the rear, so will also go SP... ;)
...allways found SP's easier to manual as well....?....owned a Spec. FSR once, though sold it after the 3rd set of bearings in 6 months
