    Default Anthem X vs Yeti 575

    I was riding with a friend. We're about the same level in fitness. He's prolly goy a fair amount more technical skill.
    Yes I know they are totally different bikes. But Fark that yeti hammers down Hill. It's as if I was left standing still.


    I love my Anthem X but I think stuff the 29er I think I want that when I grow up.

    Here is to my future 575

    What I mean with that he seemed to get up the hills with reasonable ease as well as absurd hammering down the other side.

    It's not about the bike.

    If you wouldn't have the guts to say it to my face, don't say it to me over the internet.

    Damnit Grumpy I was hoping you'd give me an axcuse to Lobby the boss.

    I thought it was more the compromise of geometry that did the majorety of that.
    I think I'll just have to get him to let me ride it.

    Lobby the boss? I thought you were roughly my vintage? Haven't you learned anything yet?!

    Here, lesson 1.

    It's easier to beg forgiveness than it is to ask permission.

    Here endeth the lesson.

    well by the looks of it, It goes up hill quite well.....but hammers down on the other side as well while I'm over the handle bar feeling like I'm about to go OTB. Perhaps The anthem has the edge on single track like East Kowan Forest while if you do Stromlo along skyline & luge.....mate I'd love to change bikes at the top. LOL
