True. But it depends what everyone else does. You may be able to get ahead of some riders who stay on road bikes, where you can then get back in with them once you change back to the road bike and they catch you up, for example.

I have mixed feelings about publicizing the advantage of the MTB bike switch as it has been a very effective secret weapon. The 60 second delta is hard for anyone to make up when you get back on the road.

Sierra Norte, the mountain range behind Oaxaca City, provides more than a dozen trails with 1000 metres (3300ft) or more of elevation drop. Most trails started life as ancient paths carved into the mountains over thousands of years, taking the most direct route from point A to point B. The trails are often natural, rocky, loose and incredibly steep.

By increasing the wheelbase length (longer), lowering the bottom bracket height (lower) and slackening the head tube angle (slacker), you end up with a bike that:

1. Lowers your centre of mass compared to other bikes, making it more stable on steep and rough terrain.

2. Increases your front endo angle, making it harder for you to pitch over the bars after hitting a rock or root.

3. Offers a high mechanical trail figure, which acts as a stabilising force to straighten out your steering after your front wheel has been knocked off-line.

With the loose, scrambly, Oaxacan trails, I cannot push my tyres into corners for additional grip like I would on a well-groomed trail. This terrain calls for tyres with an aggressive tread pattern and lower pressures.

With low tyre pressures, my tyres can deform more, increasing the contact patch, and therefore, ground grip. It also reduces the effective spring rate of the front of my bike, providing even more grip over high-frequency bumps.

Another interesting thing is that Schwalbe sidewalls are really, really stiff. This provides much more puncture protection and prevents the sidewalls from collapsing in hard corners. But the downside is that they ride harsher than other tyres at the usual pressures.

Tyre inserts prevent pinch flats and protect my rims from impacts. Instead of a rock slamming directly into my rim; the rock will instead bounce off the inner tyre. Ultimately, I can run lower tyre pressures to get more grip and comfort, without the risk of denting my rim or getting a flat.

Another really handy feature of Procore is that it makes tubeless setup really easy with a hand pump! I just partially inflate the inner tyre first, which seats the outer tyre to the rim without the need for a large rush of compressed air.

And finally, Procore makes switching tyres easy, as the inserts take up almost no volume compared to foam inserts like Cushcore, so you can easily manipulate your tyres to get them on and off. I can change my tyres just as quick with this system as with no tyre inserts.

They've got good prices for bikes listed all over the net, so i decided to do some price shopping for a 14' TXC310R they have listed at $5499.00 and get an OTD quote. Of course the sales puke has to call me back cause he doesnt even know if they have the bike in stock. He calls back and leaves me a message that the bike is $7999.00. Now i know exactly what im dealing with, time to start the game playing.

He calls me back again to talk about the bike, of course theres only a couple bikes coming out of the crates as we speek. I asked about the price again and all of a sudden he found out theres a red tag sale on this model for $5499.00. So i probe further.

Make sure you do a review of the business on Google and/or Yahoo. I always read them when I'm dealing with a business that's new to me and you kind of get a profile of their style. Of course, you always will get bitchy customers that think they got a raw deal but if EVERYONE mentions bait and switch tactics or some other type of scam, you can assume, that's their style.

But some ass comes on the internet whining about the price of a bike that's all ready on sale, doesn't want to pay for the loading and unloading of a bike, prep, paperwork and such.... And to add, you making yourself out to being such a big shot to a sales guy, (cause you know, I've bought a few bikes on sale and have drivin hours so I'm the Expert...this sound like you? Playing the game right?). I have no sympathy for you, I would have told you to go pound sand....

The sales guy openly admitted he made a mistake. He didn't realize there was a sale on....It was a honest mistake. And then the OP clicks into the "I'm going to show you who's who" mode, poor sales guy having to deal with the OPs BS....

Prep is included with the invoice charge from the manufacturer. The manufacturer rebates it back to the dealer, typically one to two hours of shop time. Not sure how that dealer has the genetailia to charge $500 though...

To list/claim a low ball price then to jack it back up with bogus fees is insulting. Typically, these dealers will quote the low ball price. Roll the bike infront of the customer and start filling out the paperwork... "lets see....Bike $5499.... Law requires us to assemble... $500.... Had to ship it... $600... Implants... err coke... err extra profit er 'paperwork' (how much paperwork is there????) $70 (and DMV... I thought that was the paperwork???)

I used to work for Yamaha factory, then several car manufacturers. They are all the same. These 'fees' are simply a way to make profit. Like a repair shop charging for shop supplies and an environmental fee, these are actually included on their hourly rate ($80/hr, pay the mechanis $20, the $60 difference pays for the shop, service manager, service write, shop materials, light, heat).

Finally, for the sales guy 'not to know they are having a sale' is ridiculous. The reality here is he is hoping the buyer does not know and can sell it for more to earn a higher comission. You'd think these guys would be trying to get you at the drive thru....

I recently went to Bert's Mega Mall just to see what all the hype was about. It's everything most say, a "MEGA MALL". I was so overwhelmed when I entered, my brain went on over load. First thought that came to mind, "win lotto, come back and go on a spree and don't forget to bring a semi truck trailer to haul it all back home". I was expecting to find some good bargains, but in fact, I found none at all including their accessory department. I looked at the bikes and almost fell over when I saw nothing but 10K + prices. What has this sport become? I mean really, 10k+ for a bike? Back in my era (80's), new bikes went for $2 - $3 K, now three decades later, they're 10k+, geez. So what do I do, I do what I know best, I buy my bikes cheap and consider them all a diamond in the rough. When I'm finished with them, they are factory fresh and you could swear they were brand new. So the trade off is technology. Well, you can keep that thank you. I don't need fancy electronics that's only going to cost me an arm and a leg when the times comes that my bike has electrical issues, or screw it, I'll throw this out there, having to adjust valves on a four stroke, geez, really? Half of those that love this sport don't get down that deep to do this type of work themselves, so they have to then take it to a deal to yet have to spend even more money to have it adjusted. No thank you, I'll stick to my 2 stroke bikes which up to now have never cost me more to maintain than buy them outright. For those of you that are considering buying a bike think about this....... I bought a 83YZ490 & 89YZ250 off eBay. Each bike cost me $100 and I had to drive about 2 hours to go pick them up. I spent about $400-$500 on the YZ250, and about $25 on the YZ490, and both bikes are prestine and good riders. So I don't have the latest tech in suspension, so what? I ride just fine. Matter of fact, I still chuckle when I'm out on the trails thinking, shit, this bike only cost me $100 bucks. The YZ490 needed very little by means of money, just a lot of TLC and maintainance work. The YZ250 turned out to have an Olin 360 kit on it. Back in the day, that kit alone cost around $2500, today, probably $4-$5k if it's still available. For me, it was a win win situation. That's why it's important to know what you want to get out of this sport and if it's a good idea to spend the k's in doing so. Think about it, you buy the bike for 10k+, but do you really think you'll be even lucky enough to get 1/2 of that back when you decide to sell it? Of course not. But back to Bert's Mega Mall, yeah, don't think I'll be visiting them any time soon. Even their parts / accessory department wasn't up to par with what I expect. For example, those little hoses that go on carbs; you won't find a spool of this being sold by the foot, of course not. Why, because we live in different times my friends. People just don't bother to sell $2 items anymore. Back in my day, you would go to a reputable dealer which would sell you hoses by the foot. Today, special order baby. Three (3) inch carb hose for your model (which is BS) is $14.99. So you have to be thrifty and know where to buy general items like this and always stay away from dealers which have the sole purpose of getting your hard earned cash. I spent about 3 hours there. Since the trip was about an hour from home, I had planned to spend enough time to really check out everything including their service department which I'm sorry to say, was a real disappointment when I got service quotes (not that I would ever take any of my bikes to anyone for service anyway). When I left, one of the sales reps caught me as I was walking out and asked if I was able to find everything ok. I told him before I left, I would be back when I move next to the Kardashians.
