Sorry thats rubbish. Thats like saying this bike doesnt go round corners very well, but thats only a result of bad cornering.
I dont want to get hung up on the Brake Jack arguement but please dont say its the resuilt of bad braking.

5's are brilliant bikes.
I ran one for 3 years and used it for 3 trips to the Alps, plus 100's of trail centre miles all over the UK. Great fun to ride, easy to maintain and super reliable.
They're very versatile and tough as nails. However, if you're likely to be using it for shuttling and DH, or Alpine trips regularly, then the extra weight of an Alpine 160 or Patriot is worth the penalty.
Highly reccomended.

IT IS WHAT IT IS!
I've had my five for eighteen months now and it still blows me away how good it is!
As my riding skills have grown and and the trails have 'gone up a notch' my five has always delivered and always been great fun. The giggle factor is off the scale!
Do we have any new five owners on PH this year?
How are the existing owners getting on?
Do many of us still have a British Sports Car in the fleet!?!
