Nice! What build kit is that or is a custom build?Finally have my Transition Covert up and Running. i have only been on one short XC ride at this stage.
Thanks Rodney@ Super Sports Australia
Sorry posted under wrong name!! Its all the standard build kit 1 as supplied by Transition. XO1 drivetrain, XT brakes, hope hoops, Pike, KS integra.Nice! What build kit is that or is a custom build?
How do you find the lever as opposed to a remote for your dropper post? I love the simplicity look, but dunno if i could take one hand of the bars to drop/raise my seat.....My 2012 Trek Remedy 8.
I love this bike. Its ability far exceeds my own and it does everything from some light downhilling to riding the 13kms to work 1 or 2 days a week.
My relatively new Giant trance 2 650b, bought in October.
Stock + Giant dropper, frame skin, ODI grips, seat clamp (on its way), MAXXIS ardent rear will replace the rear nobby nic soon due to wear.
Looking to upgrade brakes soon to some XT ICE techs
It's my first serious mtb really and I am loving it. Definitely enjoy descending more than climbing... but it's growing on me!
Pics inc.. My Giant and my partners Merida, the day it came home, and me being a twit in a recent race
Looks good IMHO the base level Trance has a great colour scheme and much better than the mid level spec and the entry level carbon versions.
As for the Ice Techs may I consider you look at the RT76 rotor (or the centrelock equivalent if u have shimano hubs). It has the alloy spider so stiff like the Icetechs, but don't warp as easily and are much easier to straighten if they do. Combined with ice tech pads I have found they are just as good as having icetech rotors as well.
I've only had it for a few days but so far so good. It takes a bit of getting used to but I'm almost on top of it now. The only issue I have is e lever is a bit short for my liking.How do you find the lever as opposed to a remote for your dropper post?

Cheers Johnny, to say I'm happy with the purchase is an understatement.hot fuckin diggity.
No kashima on the forks, though?
Nice purchase, loving the Rhyme orange frame finish of the 9's!Well if were all going to post our Remedys may as well put mine up.
2014 Remedy 9 650b/27.5
They did the same thing with the fuel 29ers. 9.8 carbon has the non kashimas, the cheaper 9 alloy has the kashimas. Guess that they wanted to keep the price down on the carbon frame models?Cheers Johnny, to say I'm happy with the purchase is an understatement.
Bit of a sore point regarding the forks, I'm at a loss as to Trek's reasoning with part specification. As the Remedy 9 (very similar spec'd Alloy framed version at $1200 cheaper) is fitted out with Fox 34 Factory Floats with Kashima coating, whilst the Remedy 9.8 is fitted with 34 'Performance Series' Floats, minus kashima coating! Dafuq?!

I noticed that with the fork spec on the carbon models while i was researching/drooling over them on the web. You'd think at that price range that if it were $300-$500 more again to have kashima forks that most people would pay the difference! Have to go to the 9.9 to get KC being a bunch more money again, and seemingly not available in Australia!Cheers Johnny, to say I'm happy with the purchase is an understatement.

looking at this photo and knowing the location I know for a fact that the view is much better if you turn 180 degrees ; )Just a repost.
The 2012 S Works Enduro is a great bike. Bit big travel wise for a general trail bike, but for the rough and tumble it is in its element.
..
LOL.. Not when this view is of a S Works Enduro in fluro !:thumb:looking at this photo and knowing the location I know for a fact that the view is much better if you turn 180 degrees ; )
