and again...
Oh dear... and again.
Meet up in Feb to exchange rides/bikes - I heard you are a big bastard too
mmmm, now that's nice.... Big bastards unite!!!!
Seriously OCD that is one of the most considered and well thought out 29ers in recent times.
Very impressive mate
Howdy Softek, I run X9 crank arms with an MRP Bling Ring (32T), not XX1. If the XX1 crankset came in 180mm lengths, then yes, I'd run them without the E*13 guide. The guide isn't really needed on a XC bike but it weighs bugger all so it is there as a bit of security/peace of mind.
Thanks JD, I'm really enjoying this HT business... very responsive, super fast and much more comfortable than I was prepared for. I've ridden at Warramate, You Yangs, YT and a local big elevation trail here in Eildon in the last two weeks. Life is great!
Enve bars are the full 700mm width, like you said they look a bit XC in comparison to a 'normal' sized bike. The bars are the same width as my other MTB, the reach is about 10mm longer on the HB, perfect for sliding around on the saddle in my XC Lycra
oh on another note..............................
I remember seeing an ad in the for sale section from a gent who wanted to swap a Niner carbon fork with 1/8 steerer for a suspension fork...... how did you go mate
I am looking for a 1/8 carbon fork for my SS 29er - anyone?
I thought you were done with clown wheels?
no way PB - I always have a few imaginary projects in the wind.
a guy like me has got to dream
