Hi all, Anyone know of local boytjie that took part in the 2012 BC Bike Race? Can you please put me in touch with them? I want to ask a couple of questions! So keen to do this next year! Have to take the 650b Rocky Mountain Element back to its roots! Thanks! Jaco

Took the NeoMoto 2.1's for a Welvanpas spin this morning, and the bike is sooper fast, luckily I have the M985 XTR brakes to keep the thing in its cage!

ZTR wheels are back-ordered quite a bit now, after the PMB Nino win on 650B's. I luckily got on the bandwagon early Tyres: I have a pair of Racing Ralphs 650B for sale in the classifieds.

Thanks for the envy! She sure is nicest! Unfortunately 650B doesnt fit the 5" MSL. The wheel rubs frame when bottomed out. But on the RSL, air out and all, there is about a 5-10mm clearance, when BOTTOMED-out. With normal use all is clear. Clearnce with 2.25" Schwalbe is around 10mm min in the back. But I will probably put on the 2.1" Pacenti Neo-Moto's that I got today, so clearance should be plenty then. If you want one, ask your local Rocky Mtn dealer to contact Eugene at Rocky MTN... sschaaweeeet!

Fox standard 26", and Rocky Mtn standard 26" frame. Both have enough clearance, even with 2.25 Schwalbe's.

This is MINE! 650B, Rocky Mtn Carbon

Just finished with my new puppy: Rocky Mountain Element 70 RSL Carbon with ZTR Crest 650B wheels. Other specs: XTR M970 groupset, M985 brakes, Schwalbe Racing Ralph 2.25 TL-R (650B), Fox Terralogic 2012 Tapered The bike has a lowish BB, but the 650B (27.5") lifts it nicely, and makes for a killer bike. O boy, she flies down the hill, and climbs like a rocket! And at 10.5kg not too shabby either! Thanks to Eugene from Rocky Mountain SA for bending over backwards to make this happen! Also thanks to Jaco Veldsman of The Bike Shed Contermanskloof for building and facilitating the deal. Tremendous guys! I will gladly give my money to people like that. We need more of those in the bike industry! Sani2C here we go! JacoleRoux
