    How is the damping on the rear in comparison to a normal hardtail? Isospeed actually worth the hassle and does it require any specific maintenance
  2. MajG
    Valuable input Chris as I wasnt aware of power assist setting actually work as traction assist etc. But guess it makes sense tho. Always appreciated reading your detailed feedback!

    Wonder if we will actually get this model in SA, haven't seen it advertised anywhere here

    Power of ebikes might put some newby riders on ebikes in sticky situations that they might not have the skillset to manage it. Had no idea bikes have a trail mode which gives even power delivery , good to know I will eventually go the ebike route, just scared to take the step and never want to ride a normal bike again????????
  5. MajG
    Was thinking about this, will make an accomplished rider even better but can count against a newby if they do get onto a normal bike again. But I guess on a technical descent like DH0 in tokai it won't add more ease, it's more on flat and up technical routes.
  6. MajG
    Not sure if this been asked before or if it's relevant Do you think a newish rider will need slightly less skill when riding technical trails with an ebike?more ascending uphill or negotiating flat technical sections My reasoning is that in assist or turbo mode ,an assisted pedal stroke will push/force you over or thru obstacles whereas your own power stroke might not be able to.

    Oh that's sweeeeeet , excellent upgrade. Let us know how the new bike goes, hope delivery is this year still with these shortages

    If not loosing air or not bent or warped as you ride, then leave it as is

    What did you buy? Or looking to buy And why did you sell the fluid ? @Andy Contact cycles united group, they have many stores and they are the Norco distributors in SA
  10. MajG
    Fair point on the scott. Perhaps try Norco fluid fs1 2020 goes for R40k , Mello vello stocks them and good bikes Rockshox pike Shimano slx 1 x 12 and 4 piston brakes. I ride a fluid, a tad heavy but it's a tank downhill

    Could look for 2nd hand spez chisel.

    Colour in the branding with black permanent marker Might sand bottle too much n the becomes a water filter ????

    GT is excellent bike, for some reason not big seller in SA but over the seas its well liked. Scott spark 970 about same spec as stumpy. But with new design out might impact resale or even allow better bargaining power at lbs. Giant stance comes with 130mm travel infront and it's like R34k. Giant trance, 150mm travel and flipchip but that's just over R50k Stumpy is good bike tho
  14. MajG
    Exactly where bike design heading to lol. Have you seen these e-longboards? Actually very cool and around R12k upwards
  15. MajG
    I tell myself that all the time, like today 500m from my house I stopped just to quadruple check ????????????
  16. MajG
    If you folks love ur bike so much, won't forget it's on the roof ???? I have roofrack and towbar rack, never ever slipped my mind that it's on the roof as I'm too paranoid that I didn't secure it properly and that's after 3 rechecks lol
  17. MajG
    Bike looks nice, simple and no fuss. 62 degree head angle Wonder when the slackness will hit it max At this rate by 2030 we have a longboard with 37.5inch wheels
  18. MajG

  21. MajG
    Anybody have a rockshox shock valvecap I will gladly pay Else I just buy metal valvecap at motorspares
  22. MajG
    R60
  23. MajG
    Forekasters has alot more resistance than the ardents. Perhaps try rekon and rekon race rear for faster rolling tires but then sacrifice some grip when descending. Or Ardent infront and rekons in rear.
