Careful, you might stir up another discussion!

Also these quotes from:

Well... It's not the first time that an LBS has sold me snake oil.....

Moflippaz

I've serviced the forks since the race and they still feel buttery and there's no linear gouging or scratching nor any ramp in the transition between the coating.

After totalling my One9RDO, I needed a Singlespeed to race the Dirty Weekend 24HR

Enter this monstrosity!

Part spares bike, part bits from the One9

Actually rides really really well

‘Climbs like a mountain goat’ I’m sure.

Good luck with the race!

You mean this one?

It suffers over 12% or so gradient and very much so when standing.
Left it in "Trail" level 1 on the ProPedal for the whole 24hrs

From DH to XC(ish) to liking a 29er...... It a slippery slope @safreek

I can give Burt a good home when you buy a little yappy mutt.

Yeah, I feel a bit girly on the 165mm bike but in my defence I am taking the astrix for a ride in the next few days.
I really don't have any hate for 29rs but the riders bite sooo easily. Probs never will not have a 26 but who knows

I am impressed... have been considering building a SS but never thought about doing it with a FS rig! I loved my old Jet9. Off to see if I can emulate you...

As sick as the bike is, I would die on a FS SS. Way to much standing and mashing pedals. I struggle if my remote lockout is buggered on my SS and it’s a hard tail!

In saying that I want a ride of it

I would suggest that if you're mashing that much, you might benefit from lowering your ratio slightly?

That being said, I've taken it over this bad boy climb a few times on my commute to work and it goes OK

Started on 32/20 for a few months when new to it then moved to 32/19. Still have to stand and pedal - on the 20 you just climb slower.
