    Anyone else get called a cheat??

    I agree Mikerb, when I first bought my emtb, my beloved Vitus, I thought it seamed like cheating usingTrail or Boost but now, after you guys put me right about its like having a car and not using the gears, i just put it into boost and have gone past before they have time to comment..

    EMTB, should I.. Shouldn't I...? I just have.

    Hi Kilham. 1000ft high there about. Like I said earlier they have replaced some of the communication tower at the very top, helicopters and some brave souls hanging by a rope. Yes as you say plenty exploring can be done around here, which is why I think an EMTB is a great buy. I'll keep you...

    EMTB, should I.. Shouldn't I...? I just have.

    Hi steve, after the 1st ride the rear sus was caked, so I thought this would just stop some of it, I have the sag at about 30% and it seems ok but the guard is shaped to a narrow end, It works so like you say.

    EMTB, should I.. Shouldn't I...? I just have.

    Thanks Tubby, it is a very positive forum, which is why I went ahead and purchased, you notice the additional makedo mast on the right, they have replaced some of the 'top' of Emley mast recently, with helicopters and crazy people hanging from it as the new 'parts' have been lowered..took days.
