New Rotecs in the near future
- Thread starter RCSully
- Start date
This makes me want one even more.
edit: Geez, I hope this isn't the case & maybe they are just flat out with prototyping.
Did some research & John still owns the domain "roteccycles.com" until June this year. That's all I can find. No-one has mentioned the brand earlier than this thread.
Maybe kegs can shed some light on this?

Sent a PM to Kegs and Sully a few weeks back trying to get some info on Rotec but so far there has been no response. Would be a shame if they were no more as by all accounts they were a good bike.
Yep, I also sent Kegs PM's here and on facebook and I've emailed all 3 of Sully's email addresses and PM'd him on MTBR and have had no response from any of them.
Rotec is still alive.
Hey peeps, Rotec is still alive but no worries not gone. tbass ill get you the geo info.
I'll have a new site up shortly.
Sorry for not updating more. Just nothing to share. Rotec is have growing pains like most small companys these days. As more happens more will be told.
Im thankful to have so many loyal followers that believe in my company and what I've created over the years. Those who are fans of Lawwill will appreciate whats in the pipe so to speak.
And those who are, should be! lol
But when it comes down to it its all about the amighty $$ and its no different here in bike world.
Where's my angel's when i need them ;D
Peace,
Sully

It was and is for me...the m9 is just for the time being.
Sully. Build it and they will buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My field of dreams
Ahh, build it and they will come...., i'm with ya their mate!
The Lawwill design is in my opinion....is timeless!
It never goes out of style and in my case ours
just keeps getting better with time.
Best of all, it doesnt hurt having great customers
ripping it because they love the feel and performance it offers.

2009/2010 RL9 owner asking for support..
I hope you still follow threads that feature your bikes. I´m experiencing problems with the rear end travel behaviour. Although I´m using the piggy back to its full extent, I can´t get a plush ride that also prevents me from bottiming out on a 30 inch drop into the flat. Any ideas what that could be, is my Roco coil WC shock broken?
Thanks for any advice, I´m kind of lost here, I already think about getting a Vivid R2C just to try something different..
Best regards,
Joerg from Germany

Shifting on the RL9
Add me to the list of people looking forward to pics of a prototype RLi!
Just something of interest to those still running an RL9, I significantly improved the shifting on my RL9 + saint derailleur by replacing the top derailleur jockey wheel with a 12 tooth, and the lower with 10 tooth...I had to remove the guide pin thing on the derailleur cage. The 12 tooth top jockey wheel has the effect of moving the derailleur closer to the cassette, as well as increasing chain wrap. The shifting is a LOT better...not perfect...but much better. I'm currently runng a 13T-25T cassette...if I went to a 11T-23T or similar I'd possibly run into problems again, but I think the solution would be to run a 13T top jockey wheel with the 10T bottom, however this would require converting the short cage saint deraileur to a medium cage.
