basically, he told me the only reason he was riding a commencal was because his 2010 kona was not ready for this race, therefore i did not ask any more questions. i honestly don't think it matters does it? your just making something so little and pathetic into abit of an argument so you can have a bit of a laugh, it probably is pretty funny for you, as long as your having a good old giggle then everything will be just great. thanks guys
