2012 Bikes

It's all speculation though. None of us have ridden a CX bike developed with a slack HA before because they haven't existed. Perhaps they haven't existed for a very good reason, but you'd have to be pretty closed to write this bike off just yet.

I have it on good authority* that they are the shit for technical cross riding.

*this authority did get a free bike though.

But a slack CX bike, is just a 29er with drops, and shit clearances, Shirley?

People have been riding 29ers wth drops for donkeys years. But with more tyre options. I'm struggling to see the point here.

IMHO (by which I mean FACT)
