  1. Have used Jeroen a couple of times, very good but just a bit pricey.
  2. Hi guys, Been searching the forum for some direction, but cant really find any info. Looking for a good bike fit, have an easy medial knee problem to sort out but need a professionals help. Recommendations please - i'm based in Cape Town CBD? Thanks,
  3. Thanks Tom. Bit rich for me, will look in the 110 range then.
  4. What's a frame gonna set you back? You know the specs off hand?
  5. Guys, Looking to get a new bike soon. Currently on a Tallboy C, but want a longer travel trail bike. Been looking at the Oneten with 130 Revelation or Onetwenty with 140 Revelation. (Large frame - 179cm height and inseam 77cm) Questions: 1. I'm not the greatest climber, and therein lies my dilemma. I know the 650 will be better on the tight technical downs, but how does it handle climbs? 2. Frame size, currently on a large - 179cm height and inseam 77cm? 3. What your views on the new 2016 Stumpy 29er, 135 in the back, similar to the Stage Max? Test road a mates Oneten down Conters lower level blue DH and it was amazing, felt very nimble and well planted. So many choices!
  6. No issues with the pressures I run and I have a lot more grip now, especially on tight single track corners. Also much better on loose sand/gravel single track at speed. The rolling resistance is a little compromised, as the wheel is softer, but I have 2.3 inch trail tires on specifically for grip on the trail, so doesn't factor really. I suggest you play around with the pressures all tires handle differently, but a lower pressure is better, in my opinion.
  7. I run my front 1.5 and back 1.7 and weigh 84kgs. This is on 29er Arch Ex rims, with tubeless Specialised purgatory's
