BTW, S2020, do you use a chain guide on your Klein (how about you Brant)? What do you recommend?

 

and a free corner! wooo WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

DH man IC...... I'm one of those XC freaks heh

My current bike.

I may have sold it for this upcoming season. I'm torn between the NORCO XC Team or the Rocky Mountain Instinct for my next bike.

I like to keep em Canadian. Nishiki was but now they are european

Norco XC Team


Rocky Mountain Instinct

 

XC is the only way to go!

My Jekylls aren't specialty XC bikes, but they work damn well. My Ellsworth is for when I'm in a particularly suicidal mood.

 

Those aren't mechanical discs (on the Instinct) are they?

 

Nope Shimano 556 Hydraulic Disc on the Instinct and Hayes HFX-Mag XC hydraulic 6

 

Ya, I don't know much about either bike, but the Hayes discs would give my nod to the Norco. What kind of derailleurs and shifters do both come with?

 

Norco is also a much more dignified name (in my book, at least).

 

Honestly..
