    I just got a Cobia 29 and love it. I was surprised at how agile it is. I feel that I can do everything on it that I could do on my 26" GF. It also has just the right amount of component upgrade vs cost. I only have 6 hours on it and 3 of those were at Fleck's but it really does feel good.

    You won't regret the 29er.

    Another consideration is your height. If you are taller, go 29er for sure. If you're in the middle buy what feels best. If you are vertically challenged, go 26er. I'm 6'3" and I am much more comfortable on my 29er.

    Well I was out and about today and stopped by Trek store and end up buying their 08 Cobia, got a good deal. I'm pretty stoked and cant wait to hit the trails with it. How are the trails at Sylvan? Im assuming that Scott County and Sunderbruch are still closed.

    Nope, mine is gray.


    Went out to Sylvan early this morning with the family just to check things out and thought it was cool. Wish I would have taken the bike. Was planning on heading back with the bike later today but Im not sure how the trails will be with all the rain.

    Default Great advice!

    Man, that just shows you how cool the people in this club are- a perfect opportunity to start a Ford/Chevy style argument over "my bike/shop/style component is better than your- those stink, etc... and what do these guys do- give great advice without all the hype.

    What a great club!!

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.
