CHRISMAESTER

Just look up cyclist workshop on facebook. I don't want to post his details without his authority.

Yeah I thought the whole thing over again. I am getting back into riding after 3 years, and I am overweight. Going all gnarly and rigid is ill advised at this point. But the frame will always leave the option open to me for later...!

Results.... Throw some feedback....

I haven't been there, but I mailed the owner 2 days ago and asked and he said the trail is ready and open every weekend if that helps...

Ok the part I didn't tell you bud is I weigh 164kg. The carbon stuff is out like last month's pay....???? Lauff too

Thanks, will do! We should ride together here, as safety is always a concern.

Apparently Josh was telling me that Hope make a new type of foam internal set of bars. It supposedly absorbs a lot of the rigid feedback that you get from rigid forks. I think I want to give that a go.... It's not cheap, but should be worth it! Also we discussed putting a wider rim on, something with say a 30mm internal width. Run like 2.4 at lower pressure to increase absorption....

Well... The frame was purchased up here in jhb by a gent who owns a shop called cyclist workshop. He is an awesome dude, and his pricing was brilliant. His name is Josh. Just tell him Big Chris referred you!

Hi there, Will ss be forgiving on the strenuous climbs in XC? Or is it just a matter of momentum and man the f up...?

Good day mate, Thanks for the reply. yeah I am 1.9m also doing a large build. I must just add that I am not the smallest Mtber, in fact probably biggest... I always rode a 1x10 gear setup with suspension forks, but am building something new... Feel free to check it out on the Build projects section under "Steel is real" I know that single speed will save a lot on maintenance. but I also feel that it does this frame justice. I can also get the matching steel fork for this machine, hence the query. I just don't want to purchase, and then regret a rigid single speed setup.. I live in Glen Austin, so not far away...

Well, here is my brand new frame.... I can't decide if I'm doing the single speed rigid, or suspension geared... I am a XC rider and also enjoy the bit of play... Nothing on black diamond level, but switchbacks, single trail, roots etc. Any rigid riders that can give valued insight? How are the wrists at 40km in? And single speed? Another question, is 650b a viable option for the marathon rider, or is it 29 all the way...?

Hello, I want to ask how harsh the single speed rigid is on the trails? Thinking of building one now. I live in Midrand btw

Our club did a ride today, we were 38 strong. That is about the only answer.

Yip. We are going to HAVE to fight back! No other choice. Send them to their ancestors!
