Entry level up-and-downy questions...

Commencal meta tr? Brit edition

I spent some time on the Commencal site last week. It would be a good bike for him (bullet proof)
... But I couldn't find a size/price that works
They're out of stock on many 2019 models... and the 2020's are pre-order at full RRP.

Think a wait strategy is best right now. Shit weather, more 2nd handers flooding in come spring...

The Marin's look like a pretty good deal at the moment and they get great reviews

Yeah they look pretty good too.
I'll show him...

Deposit down!

A trip to YVC.

A Kona Process DL 27.5 at a smoking price.

A deal struck.
(from outta left field I gotta say... but maybe I was pulling some puppet strings )

The froth is real.

(When do the KP's become the new "Rotorburn Trance"??)

Yeah noice!

What’s YVC mean?

They’ll become a RB trance when more of them are kicking around than trances.

Does anyone know much about the Fox Rhythm 36 OEM forks?
Is the GRIP damper a cheap & nasty open bath jobbie, an older sealed bladder type?....or some kind of mysterious hybrid?

I have Fox Factory on all my bikes, 32, 34, and 36's with FIT dampers. My missus has a 34 Performance on her e-bike with GRIP and I bought my boys 2 x 34 Rhythm 34's for their Kona's also with GRIP dampers.... I really think the small bump compliance of the GRIP is better than the FIT dampers. They are not as linear through the stroke but small bump is always working for you.

Well if this is what a Process can do, old mate has made a good choice.

Fucking hell, every time I log on here I want to ride a 150mm travel 29er more and more. Screw you wagon wheelers, you're turning me and I haven't even ridden one yet!

I think an intervention from the 26r club is called for

3.5 years since I've taken one off road. Both the ones I could ride have tubes and if there's one thing I'll never go back to that's it. I'll be saving tubeless conversion $ for the vintage hardtail which will return from commuting duties eventually.
