WOOHOOO

I got my zerode from rod, about time you got one
i am with you on the pikes not doing the job,

why you go the 9 speed though and not a 12?
No real reason. Just wanted to have experience with all options, had the 18 speed in my Nicolai, and figured 9 would be best for people to test ride as it’s easier to speculate what more gears and range would be like as opposed to less. This way they can know if they can live with the 9.
Yeah Pikes, mine where bought used so I’ll give them a service, if still not cutting it, I may look at an Avvalanche cart for them as I love that guys gear.

thanks again!

i get the 9 speed, must be lighter too than a 12 speed? wonder if the 140mm version and 9 speed could weigh in under 13kg?

Yeah 9 is lighter, but not a deal maker. Bike feels light to me, think people over think weights. But yeah.
I’d say the 140 with 9 could get under 13. Shorter shock for one.
