flat29

Now you have a problem, must you get a alu, steel or carbon. I say yes, you must get one of each

Agree on that. With regards to soaking up the small vibration, I can not feel much of a diff. love the carbon and alu, or must I say I just love to ride a bike

27.2 will flex more than a 30 but better I don't know

My spez does not flex. hard as a railway sleeper. Can see the flex in my momsen al329 and alu merida and alu road bike

haha, yes or Taiwan. But not SPEZ, the get made in heaven

Mine tooo, time for a beer

So is that then a momsen or china frame with momsen on it

love the wheels, they must be worth more that the bike

JB is now with cycle lab. In cape town contact on the hub, 5 posts up it this topic, Droo www.stokesuspension.com

That is the joburg store but you can contact them. Looks like Max will be on Ghost next year

I was also looking at the storm and the spez but got the spez for R24 500. IMHO I will look at the storm or spez. Storm has the best components of all, full XT Have not heard of the wheel rubbing against the frame. Know BMC has some problem like that on the HT frames Think storm was bike of the year 2012

Better buy? It depends what you looking at momsen 729 comes with x7 x9 mix ( not my cup of tea) but with crest rims (nice) shock reba spez xt,sram mix with slx shifters roval wheels (bit heavy but bullet proof) reba shock think momse comes in at 10.9 and spez 11

Jaco and the okes from induna makes some of the best routes

I had the momsen and now ride the spez stumpy ht carbon. Both bike are nice but I prefer riding the spez. It is a race machine ( or that is how it make me feel). Will buy it again if I want a new bike!! Where are you, if in joburg then we can meet up and you can take mine for a ride if you are a medium. Think there is still a special on the momsen 729 for R21 500. One point, if you buy the spez let the shop change the brake pads from 7.3 to 7.2 The best will be to test all of them and then get the one you like most

.

As sir wayne said, get what you love and gives you that nice feeling. I have the spez carbon ht and love it. Was looking at a few bikes and got the spez cause I always wanted one and could afford it.

check this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yatg89gi0nM

those were the days. Still looks like fun

buy it. if it has the magura brakes then ask the shop to fit the 7.2 pads from the start

And they feel that if they pay then they must complain about something

What has this sport become??? As iron said and sir wayne. Bitch bitch bitch. That is all that cyclists do these days. I had no problem with my number collection... cause I aint riding. Will be out on the dirt road this weekend

It depends on the shop. Sometimes they can get you on if you need. A lot of them are brand specific. What you looking for? The new cycle lab (pro shop ) mega store has quite a few brands
