It is how it came from Santacruz, glued on, no writing on the inside....

recently updated I have just recently updated my Highball CC with some goodies, came in at 8.75kg ready to ride. Fox 32 SC FIT 4 NEXT-SL G4 CRANKS Light Bikes 24mm internal carbon rims laced to DT Swiss 190 hubs, Ritchey post and stem(not pictured) XTR stop and go parts with X01 cassette. Most...

29er family My two Santa Cruz and the wife's BH. I don't think I could go back to a 27.5 or 26er, 29ers are the bomb.

what to do with my single speed machine. Bike fell against some metal racking about 2 years ago and chipped the paint. It has been ridden single speed since then without issue. Gave it a really good clean last weekend and checked it right over and noticed it looked a little worse. I am unsure...

Mine came in at 9.8 with a large frame, not weight weenie either. Why didn't you spend the extra $75 and buy the adjustable dropout? 27.5 is an awesome fit, so much room around the rear stays with a 2.25 racing ralph tyre. 120mm fork with 27.5 wheels keeps the H/A perfect too.

I have done the same with my 2012 blur xc, I used a burg tech offset bush but under full compression it buzzes the derailleur cable holder. Using the offset bush has brought the head angle back a little with the fork at 120mm for a more racier geo. I think I might shim the shock 2mm to prevent...

I think it is really comfortable, but I have only done around 2 1/2 hours in any one ride. I am considering doing a 4 hour on it and truly believe comfort wont be a factor. I run the tires tubeless at around 25 PSI and love it!!

Highball SS I never thought a 29er would be so awesome. This thing is so quick and nimble, I am quicker on this than on my Blur XC Carbon... with gears!!

I have some Rock Shox Argyle 318 forks in great condition. Looking for $300+ postage.

I have an Argyle 318 fork 2009 model I think, only done about 10 hours of riding since serviced and in really good condition. PM me.

Drink bottle clearance, I run a tall bottle. I saw the bike shop owners running his that way and he said it made it easier. You will love the ride, I have never had a duallie before and the way this thing jumps is amazing, the Kashima shocks are so smooth and the front end is so direct. Oh...

I would believe 9.8-10.2... mine is 10.6 with Arch rims and Thomson post and stem, 3T LTD is really light, he would be saving 250-300 off mine with the 3T stuff and the wheels would be 150-200 light than mine.

You will enjoy it, I have been riding mine for 3 weeks and love it more each time I ride it.

4 rides on it already and I certainly made the right choice, the bike is so controlled. Loves to jump and descends so well, build came in at 10.6kg. Not a total weight weenie build either. Stans Arch rims/DT 240s Hubs Schwalbe Tyres 2.25 Thomson post and stem XTR 985 race brakes & rotors XTR...

2012 Blur XC My new rig, thanks to For The Riders, I can't wait to hit Mt Joyce!!
