are tgey specially tuned? like for more travel

flag owengd97b (Sep 3, 2009 at 12:43)
if they wanted more travel they'd go for demo's as usual, perhaps big hits, but i doubt that. the whole point of running sx trails is the shorter travel as they obviously feel it is adequate for that track.

i agree. no one expects much from him on this type of course but I think the ol' man o the mountain is due! whoever squashes these hits the best may give themselves a chance against Peaty on the pedally finish. can't wait to watch!

Anyone know if Steve Smith is there? BTW I'm with peaty on the choice of bike. People always run the short travel bikes at Sea Otter (which is probably less gnarly than this track) and the big bikes always take Sea Otter. Big bikes all the way.

Sam doesn't have to prove himself, he's a WC regardless. Go on make it back to back in Oz if you want, I don't care, it's all about the sport. Tell ya what why did they choose Canberra...aka Canboring for a venue anyway? PS. Im heading home to Oz soon.
