Question Demo Bikes

Hey whats going on?? I was wondering how it works with shops that have demo bikes?? I have a bachelor party that I am going to in late May and they are doing a weekend in Big Bear. We are going to be Rock Climbing, Hiking, mountain bike riding and wakebording but I have a delema. I only own a DH/FR bike and it is not allowed on Summit and at the same time i am intersted in getting a XC/all mountain bike and feel like this would be a great chance to check out some of my options. I have no clue how this works or what kind of notice I need to give the shop. Any input would help.

Thanks
Stephen

I dunno how far away you might be, but The Path in Tustin demo's all kinds of different bikes.

Word. Cynergy is a great shop. If they've got rentals, they'll probably be nice ones.

Also, you might be surprised up at Big Bear and get on the lift with your DH bike just fine. When I was there last fall, there were tons of guys getting on the lift with DH bikes, full-face helmet and tons of armour. I think they aren't being as stict about "no suspension over 6 inch, etc etc" Call a local shop up there. They'll know the deal.

if anyone needs assistance with Cynergy, PM me- the MTB manager is a close friend and we "might" be able to work something out.
