Thought this would be interesting. Choose all that apply.
I have a rigid and a hardtail, and love both of them. What about YOU?
-
As in do I currently ride, or have I ever ridden? I clicked "rigid" because I road rigid for several years when I first started, but I don’t ride rigid anymore…

Let’s just do what are you riding right now. (updated the post)
We’ll let this one run for a while then start another for what your next bike purchase might be.
-
2009 Giant Talon, primarily because it was what I could afford at the time.
-
I’d be surprised if you didn’t find most people riding a HT or an FS bike. They are simply the more common designs. I’d also guess more HT than anything else because of the $$$ investment that a FS requires.
-
Can I put 2 votes for dualie for the number of FS bikes in my shed? Lol!
-
I have two gravity fed FS steeds, one trail FS, one big hit HT, one rigid SS. Enough for me, but I might be adding a DJ real soon. 😄
-
Ride my FuelEx FS most of the time, just once in a while I take the Marlin
-
Still on my 2007 Stumpjumper elite,full suspension although both front and rear lock out which is the way I ride it more often than not.
-
Going into my fifth year on a Santa Cruz BlurLT. Still love the bike, but craving something new. Could be a single speed 29er, or if the money gods smile my way a Tall Boy sure would be nice.
Backup bike is a Specialized Hardrock.
-
Currently riding a Trek 3900 hardtail, but would love to upgrade to something better. To switch it up, I also have a Fuji 1.0 Newest for touring and a metallic green Nerve (53, I think) cruiser for stylin’ around town and at the beach. I even have one of those dorky pet carts to take my pups along.
-
’98 Giant Yukon ht, ’91 Trek 830 rigid ss. Really looking to go into the world of 29ers soon.
-
2008 DEVO BLUE Fisher Ferrous. Steel hardtail 29er. Weighs aTON…but COOL as BALLS! 😀:)

^^^^ 😆 😆 😆
Why not just ride a HT? 😆 😉
-
04 Fisher Cake Full Susp and a 2009 Felt solo 29er hard tail. Both used bikes. Only way I could afford two.
-
Well I can’t decide, I alternate between my FS Rocket 88 and my hardtail SS Trek now.
-
09 Specialized Enduro expert sl, I absolutely love this bike. I don’t see anything else I could use for the moment. Although I wouldn’t be opposed to the new Stumpjumper Evo it got great reviews and looks evil!!
06 Specialized Roubaix roadie, yes I said it roadie!! -
Transition 29er, and a Jamis Dragon 29er converted to single speed. Both hardtails and both steel,
Steel is real. -
Main ride: Scandium Kona Dawg 1×9 in AM spec
Occasional use: Specialized BigHit Comp, and Kona Shred DJ bike.
-
well i ride both hardtail and rigid on my scott comp 29er (depending on conditions) and that seems to work well 😀
-
2011 Specialized Hardrock Disc. About all i could afford on a college budget, especially after my last hard rock got stolen 😈
-
Been riding the Trek 4500Disc… it’s hardtail of course. I love it. Great for learning to ride. I used to do street bmx at the skatepark and am getting into mt biking instead now. Way more enjoyable in my opinion! 😃
-
2006 Stumpjumper FSR… I love this bike!
-
Maverick ML8 – My workaday all-mountain wheels. Even ridden her at Keystone 😎
Rocky Mountain Flow 2 DJ – A little bit hard to get air under you wheels on the trails around here, so I’ve got to get my fix. -
Bought my 2012 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp 29 in the fall. Love this hardtail. Handles like a dream and just feels right when riding
-
Currently riding a 2010 Gary Fisher Cobia with a few upgrades. Crank Bros. cobalt 3 handlebars, Titec Hellbent Stem, Small Block 8 tires (front and rear), and complete Sram X9 drivetrain.
-
I need to change my answer. I was riding a HT when I voted. Now I am FS.
-
I ride my Specialised XC Full Sus or the Specialised S-works Stumpjumper Full Sus depends where I am going. Although I just got a Trek Session 8 and I am still in the process of beating it into submission.
My bike room in the house is getting a bit full, so no more bikes for a bit as my insurance policy only lets me have three. (bike insurance people are clearly not mountain bikers themselves!)

-
Right now riding a hardtail. Not sure if i will ever really get a FS just cause of price.
-
Just traded my Giant Talon for a Specialized Camber ds 😃 Suspension is so neat.

Only three bikes? That’s crazy! Is it home-owners insurance? I need to look into that also.

Congrats on the upgrade! I rented a Camber for a week while on vacation. It’s one sweet bike!

Home contents insurance does not cover it, a typical policy only goes up to the value of £500 maximum.
Because of the value of the bikes I have to take separate insurance out from Cycle Guard

They cover theft of the bikes, damage to the bikes, public liability insurance, being hit by an uninsured driver, break down recovery, accident cover and a lawyer. They also cover competitions
I think they are UK only though so may need to look around.

Ah, thanks. I’ll have to look into that.

Jared13, sorry this might be a bit late.
But there is a cyclist insurance company in the USA that is founded and operated by two mountain bikers.I happen to know a bit about the bicycle insurance business too since I ride as well and have an bike that is insured with Velosurance.
Here is a couple words about home owners policy:
In lots of cases a bike likely will have some very limited coverage under your homeowners or renters policy, however, there are usually limits on the value of the bike and the types of losses that would not be covered, such as theft and damage away from the home. Most home insurance policies will not cover crashes or accidents, especially while racing, so if you wreck out on the road, in a race, or an organized ride you will be out of luck with the home insurance company.
When you file a bike claim against your homeowner’s policy, you risk having your rates increased or the policy cancelled. With a Velosurance cyclist policy you have the peace of mind and satisfaction knowing that your policy is built specifically for you and your bike, and claims will not affect your other insurance rates.

Don’t worry jackhole, we’re all retarded here and can’t tell the difference between spam and legitimate posts.

I have my hardtail that I have had since I started riding (will always be my favorite ride) but I just came into possession of my first FS (Specialized Stumpjumper) so I am looking forward to seeing how it goes with that.
-
Santa Cruz Nomad C and Trek Superfly Elite. Love both bikes but ride the Nomad most of the time.
-
I ride a 2001 Gary Fisher Sugar 2. It has served me well. Due to osteo arthritis in my lower back I have to ride a FS bike now. HT’s are too hard on me.
-
I ride a 1994 Specialized Rockhopper Comp FS with a Manitou 4 front shock. This past few months, I have gotten back into mountain biking since new trails are opening up in my area. I have rebuilt my shock, replaced the headset, new shorter stem and a new 30mm riser bar. I still need to replace my chain, rear derailleur and cassette. That will come after Christmas.
