absolutely...get an oily toothbrush and rub in between where they overlap...

Has anyone done a comparison of the Epic Evo to the new Spark? I am considering upgrading from my Scalpel Si 2017....

ok, let me Google that for you..😄 https://www.boesmanskloofmcgregor.com/boesmanskloof-hiking-trail-mcgregor-greyton-diegalg we run it from the parking lot in Greyton just by the Gobos river...its about 8km to the waterfall with the swimming hole...so 16km round trip..not too hectic but quite a bit of climbing on either side

also the constriction around your waist [read boep] probably isn't the most comfortable thing bouncing around...especially if laden with anything remotely heavy....perhaps a few snacks and some light accessories but when loaded with a liter of water definitely not comfy

I wouldn't hang my bike by the frame using those mounts... I have 3 of these in y garage and they work perfectly on all types of bikes https://www.takealot.com/wall-mount-hanger-hook-for-bicycles/PLID53563356?gclid=CjwKCAiAksyNBhAPEiwAlDBeLKQTuAw3jxrXK8mbiukx49oDTXSXrK34lL5LohwWb2webK8Oizf8IBoC4xcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

it wont fit in there since you need to cut off that earth wing on the top part as seen in the pic ah sorry...I see someone beat me to it:)

yup...with those huge wheels you don't ride the switchbacks but ride right across them:)

the riding impressions are interesting...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfmT08dLsd4&t=430s you can turn on the English captions... he really likes this bike, the first 36" carbon bike in the world with carbon wheels. my prediction is that a 32" bike will follow soon and will probably become pretty popular for taller riders... https://www.36pollici.it

modern downcountry bikes with 120-130mm forks climb really well....and on a descent they will be hugely different to 100mm FS bikes it all really depends what kind of riding you do...perhaps tell us more on your expectations and also which bike you are looking at?
