Then it's a good thing it's not your bike to worry about
But yeah, I have dealt with the workshop manager at Morewood on numerous occasions and only had great service. Spare parts to me overnight (Yes, I live in South Africa, so it's pretty convenient). In fact for around $120 the factory will replace all the bearings, check alignment, check welds, re-powdercoat and decal any old Morewood. Bearings alone on my Makulu cost me about $70 to do myself.

Morewoodkid knows Patrick better than most. He worked at Morewood with Patrick, and his company distributed the brand in South Africa. Yes, things may not have panned out as everyone had hoped. But it doesn't make the bikes any less awesome. Go look at my bike checks and you'll see that all 4 of my Morewoods are from when Patrick was still there. I stand to be corrected but to my knowledge, this very one was designed and built by Patrick himself. And I have spoken to Patrick about it, asking advice on what travel to run on it. As...

Exactly what Cap said... to prevent injury to ones lady bits! But yeah, the 1st generation prototype used a straight top tube Then Patrick redesigned it to this http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/member/Fabien-Cousinie-Bike-Check,2481/4X-Fully,22286/scott-punt,8858 (basically the same as mine, just the previous season's colours) Then finally was the 2012 Les2Alpes model like I have.

Who here has actually ridden PMB? It may not be steep and rooty like the European courses, but those who have ridden it will know that it has its own challenges, and DH sized cahonas are still needed. Exiting the gully at over 70kph (44mph) and hitting a large step down then 2x 24m (79ft) tables... not for the faint hearted. Could 9 is also way trickier than it looks on camera. As for the "but they're using enduro bikes" argument. Some riders at Rampage use medium to short travel slopestyle bikes. It doesn't make it any less of a...
