MintSauce Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 What sort of bike do you want? Or rather, what sort of riding do you do?
splat Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Update your choices. The Mojo SL-R is the new version: 140mm travel 26" carbon trailbike with XC race weightRead up about it here Santa Cruz Tallboy: 100mm 29" carbon XC bike.Read up about it here
Slowbee Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 right, time to get technical. *education on* on the tall boy, the shock is at an angle to the top part of the triangle. Does this not result in "slower/weaker " (for lack of a better word), transfer of the forces into the shock as some of the force must be lost due to the angle ? on the ibis is more of the force transfered into the shock ?
nolipoli Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 *** water bottle placement on the Mojo. That will probably affect you more than any other factor.
AndreZA Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Tallboy design about 2 years old. Mojo about 6 years old.
MintSauce Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Slowbee, while the angle might play some small part, this would usually(on a good design) be done for a reason. Also, on most top end frames the shocks come with custom valving which would negate any disadvantages there might be. The difference in designs is also why there will be large variances in the amount of pressure the same shock would require on different frame designs. Also, note how the Tallboy has a link between the swingarm and the shock. This is one way of manipulating the way the forces act on the rear shock. By altering the location of the linkage pivots or the length of the linkage for example, the suspension can be tuned to act a certain way.
Slowbee Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Mint, is this also part of the way in which designers try and get bikes to "handle" differently, as different bikes will handle the same bit of track differently ? (i realise that headangles and all other bits come into play)
MintSauce Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 In terms of how the suspension responds to the trail, yes
Bos Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 F*k, Die thread gaan nog laaaaank word. As daar vrae is soos die.. Eckard.If you like to ride Technical and aggresive trails, you are not that much into racing although you might do the odd long race I'd get the Mojo.If youre less into technical tight stuff and like to hit the open road and get in miles and stage races I'd maybe opt for the tallboy, However the tallboy also handles tech trails pertty well, Its just sharp steep switchbacks that gets the best of it. So Id say Marathon/ race Tallboy Marathon/trail Mojo
