1:44 21th Sept 06, a bunch of innocent Mountain Biker, has come out with their brilliant Idea, to create a Mountain Bike club. After brainstroming for days, we decided to name it as Hardtail'ers. Foundation name list coming soon.
Hardtails. what does it mean? You cant find this word in Oxford dictionary. Does this word exist? Basically no.But there is "hard tail". Does it bring any meaning? No, it does not. If were to translate, it will be "ekor keras" in Malay and "硬尾巴" in Mandarin.
What does it have to do with mountain biking? Of couse it does play an importand role in Mountain Biking. MountainBike start with hardtail then only full suspension. Hardtail was and is the foundation of the mountain bike. Before go any further, i would like to explain what is "Hardtail".
Hardtail = a frame that consists of at least 2 triangles, and without a suspension. After build up with other components, it will be a hardtail. Some of the hardtail consist of three triangles. No matter there is a front suspension or not, it still a hardtail. Road frame also hardtail? i don't know. How about u give me the answer @ Hardtail'ers Cafe.
Our motto here, is to create a resort for hartailers. We have no intention to create any conflict with Full Suspensioner. We are here to exchange our experience, and share our rides. If you are on a FS, you can also join us. As long as you want to know more about hartail, and u got loads of knowledge about hardtail. Do not hesitate to share with us.
Nowadays, a lot of riders choose hardtail because of budget constrain. They always say, "if i got the money, HT is not my choice". No worries, we accept that. Because i believe he is not close to hardtail yet. He might know what is hardtail, but dont know how far the hardtail is able to go. One of our reason to created this resort, is to let you know "The Hardtail is more than what you know". And long travel seems to be a trend than a "need". As you go to local bike shop(lbs) you can see the salesmen are pushing the long travel bike.
For those who are already a hardtail maniac, dont keep the knowledge to yourself. Come on, join us. Tell us more about hardtail. Regardless of hardcore or XC hardtail. Come and join us. Share your titanium hardtail with us. I know you also want to share with us all about your hardtail[s]. Am i right?
Are we a team? NO! We are a club. Not a team. A team always look for race and looking for victory. We are more to create a space, to gather all the "HT" riders together and sharing experience with each other.
Guys, enjoy your browsing. Fell free to join us @ hardtailers @ yahoo group. If you got any question, happy, sadness, do not hesitate to share with us.
Ride your Hardtail, Enjoy your Hardtail, Molest your Hardtail, Push your Hardtail, Wash your Hardtail but Dont Brake your Hardtail
