    I both hate (FOMO I suspect) and love that feeling when you discover something that's been under your nose all the time.

    Holy moly! 97% of pygas will clearly never experience anything close to their limits like this. Mine sure won't...poor thing.

    Welvanpas Wellington Black Route Can't be too many more scenic trails in this country than this.

    Ag, tell me about it. Some obstacles just screw with your mind. There's a rock drop on the DH line from the monument which I CANNOT send. Not that high but on a downward slope with a blind landing making it look higher than it is. I hate that thing. Btw, I tried that pallet jump this morning. Also on the hairy side for my skillset at the moment. Fun though.

    Yeah don't stress it man, you're much more likely to be blown away than dissapointed once you ride it. Loads of 110's used in the Epic which wouldn't be the case if they rode heavy.
  6. Johnny Lawless
    Nice light build. Were you hoping it would weigh less? That's a decent wight for a 110. Frame is focussed on stiffness rather than feathery weight.

    Finally some wheels to do that Pike justice

    How cool is this!? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/216472-pyga-160mm-enduro-prototype-650b/

    No ways that a large is still too small for your height...unless your arms are out of proportion long ;-) Reach is already fairly long compared to other brands. I'm same length and on a medium. Would prefer large to be honest but anything bigger than that for our length is ridiculous. Also depends on what you're setting the bike up for...xc, trail, enduro? Perhaps also consider wider bars if you're not already using them. Will lean you forward a bit...and improve control. Btw, Reach = distance between BB and bars....not saddle. I'd question the competence of a fitment guy suggesting an XL for your height....if that's indeed what he did.

    I used an off-cut strip of frame protection and wrapped that around the spacer before installing the zip tie....hasn't even worn through the protection layer after more than a years' riding.

    See if you can't find a Revelation or Yari. I'd consider that an upgrade but a bit more affordable than the Pike. And more travel!!
  12. Johnny Lawless
    Well the new RS dropper range has also just been released as you no doubt know so not sure any feedback on their old products would be worth much. They will just say it's been addressed in the new range.

    The Fox DOSS always gets a lot of flak about it's oversized remote lever (which is a non-issue when running it below the bars) but the reliability I've experienced after 2 years of use so far leaves me all smiles.

    I also have a 140 Pike on my 110 and loving it. Enjoy.
  15. Johnny Lawless
    Very nice, that Pike just deserves a dropper post ;-)How much travel on that Pike? 130, 140?
  16. Johnny Lawless
    Eventually you'll all come round, lol
  17. Johnny Lawless
    Don't know you but I don't like you....lucky bugger
  18. Johnny Lawless
    Aaahh...thought there was something like a "last purchase FOREVER"...was about to say
  19. Johnny Lawless
    What's a "final purchase"? I've never seen one.
  20. Johnny Lawless
    Goes for R3600 on crc's site so mega expensive
  21. Johnny Lawless
    Just zoom in on their map....there are quite a lot of dealers
  22. Johnny Lawless
    The Rev is still a great fork. I bought a 2nd hand Pike in mint condition for 8k so the one you looked at does not sound worth the risk
  23. Johnny Lawless
    Shoulda gone with the fairly battered Pike....no wait...I'm biased...don't listen to me.
  24. Johnny Lawless
    Well at least if someone looks at your bike and says something silly like "for that kinda money I'd want it to make me coffee" you can say...."it can!"
  25. Johnny Lawless
    Thanks Dr Phil....now we all feel like douchebags, lol. Your guarantee of all wives appreciating a discussion about this hobby and its associated costs will only guarantee a few divorces in my opion (Let it be known that in principle I guarantee with everything you said)
