I have been riding 180mm rotors on the front for a number of years, no failures of any kind (except perhaps in judgement...) Fox F100RLC, Rock Shox Reba Team, Fox F100X, all no probs Skewers, Tune Titanium, Hope blingy ones, XTR, XT all no worries.
Chicken Pie -> Mast -> Round the hill to Pecanwood -> back onto Satellite Station Road -> over the mountain Singletrack -> fly down the other side to Van Gaalens for brunch -> Repeat in reverse order.
Hi folks, This nice lady by the name of Jamie Morton has posted a number of cool IDT/spinning workouts on MP3. Download, turn up the volume and off you go! http://www.trihardist.com/p/cycling-workouts.html
3 questions to answer: Yip, love the Forester too. Turner is a joy to ride once you get used to the DW link Zula 29'er nyet bum information from one of the shops... Lastly, the white is the build-kit off my white Zula, so it was a unique opportunity to have a clear frame to frame comparison between the 2. Very different and both great in their unique ways (in case you were wondering)
Today is a fantastic day! My baby has come back from Morewood all freshly powdercoated and basically brand new. (and to answer your question smiles, they strip it down to bare metal first) The strength of a brand is not in the price but in the service, and on that basis all I can say is that buying this proudly South African product was a truly great experience. Here's Tighty Whitey arriving through the X-Ray machine at the office: Besides for the great service from Morewood, I also need to thank Andre from RushSports for managing the whole process, keeping me informed and amazingly, for shipping a Turner Flux up to me to use while I was waiting. A truly amazing experience and a fantastic credit to the industry! Here's the sweet thing I got to play with for a weekend:
the DW link takes a bit of getting used to after the single-pivot on my Zula. Has the curious effect of making you feel "disconnected" from the earth. A bit odd, but once you get over it, this is a magic frame. Getting my Zula back today/tomorrow though, can't wait! Also heard a rumour that the Zula 29'er should break cover this week...
I had the privilege of spending a weekend with this lady. A sweet sweet ride! Thank you to Andre at RushSports for lending me his demo bike while I waited for mine to come back! (Yes the chain is too long. Got trimmed after the pic was taken...)
