July 18, 201214 yr You'll find the riders that get problems are the ones that get problems with whatever bike they own. Bullseye!
July 19, 201214 yr If Gas Gas beefed up the box and it was 2kg heavier and 40mm wider would it sell? No,everyone want's the best even at the expense of a bit reliability,though there hasn't been a bike built in years that 99% of joe public can even remotely ride to its potential. What a shallow lot we are. You'll find the riders that get problems are the ones that get problems with whatever bike they own. The ironic thing is that from 2011 on the frames are 40mm(?) wider but it wouldn't take as much as 2 Kg to 'Isambard' over-engineer a couple of components..or would that overload a component further down the line? ............................ ..................So my answer to the question posed above as to WHY GG is the best selling bike. My conclusion is - Love is blind. You could be right with that....Owning a Gasser is like having a lingerie model wife; stick thin,the latest bling,great to look at,good ride, but there's always that nagging doubt of high maintenance and unfaithfulness. A Gas Gas fan-boy that I know says that a Pro gets harder to ride after 3 years? When I asked how-come? He said 'Have you tried riding with your fingers crossed !'
