CHUMBA HX1 650B

See thats why im only to happy to let you ride her

Did you polish that crank, it looks so shiney

Whic one would you like to be on oh Holy one ?

Holy will probably also be on the American designed, taiwanese built CHUMBA

Thumper not as yet would like to bring in a demo bike or two but funds are little tight right now.

My gut tells me that that rear end is going to flex with lateral forces. Somebody please explain why it wont! Ok so im no expert on DH bikes and i could be giving you the wrong information but the oversize axle holding the swingarm to main frame prevents this. Bike apparantly utilises the largest bearing and axle on any bike. I can get more data for you from the states if need be

Well at moment im riding this guy and loving it (29'er) ngala242009-11-26 04:44:29

mmmm maybe a quick rethink, not sure if i have the balls to do this

cause i wanna ride one of these

See you went with the 48/36/26 chain rings up front and not the 44/32/22, may i ask why ?

Driving back from Kruger on monday i noticed the christmas trek back to moz for the holidays has begun and couldnt help wondering as i passed those overloaded trailers how much stolen property was about to cross the border

Ill be back there with a demo bike in near future so just watch the HUB for dates

Ok so ill grow one but how does one get involved ?

Quads for quads have a route aswell, contact them

Sheesh ive got to get down to that side of the world to do some riding, it looks awesome. Lotto on wednesday and then Me thinks a 29'er and a plane trip to Cape Town or george are in order to meet the guys

There's more to life than XC! true but there money in that market. Look at Morewood' date=' they are going to make a killing with their Zula and Kw?la models after they started to be DH and freeride only manufacturer.[/quote'] Thanks Mampara I agree with you that there is def a market for XC here, we went with the particular model VF2 with the 120mm setup as our XC/Marathon bike as we felt that a bike light enough for XC yet strong enough for AM but comfortable enough to ride day in and out was the best with the growing stage race scene in SA
