Flowta Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Id love to see a pic of you riding that size bike Will see what I can do. Think I will have to pull out the tape measure and double check what my actual height is (I could have it wrong) Here are the dimensions that I found (I think their dimensions for XL are a bit off)http://content1.giantnerd.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/sizing_chart_image/800x/8a02aedcaf38ad3a98187ab0a1dede95/g/t/gt-sanction-1.0-size-chart.png

missionS Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Well lets c patches,missions,braailegend..whats the verdict. Twitchy upfront.?squirrely outback.?cramped.?flexi rear.? Well I have only ridden the bike once but my first take is that all this talk about it being twitchy is what really makes it so much fun to ride. Like someone else said on here it is how you ride it and I must be honest in also stating that the Uzzi was designed around a 170mm travel fork and I'm running 180mm (So take my opinion regarding this with a pinch of salt)Squirrely outback? The chain stay on the Uzzi feels relatively short and makes picking up the front wheel a breeze.Flexi rear? Definitely can't feel it when riding and I have seen quite a few newer dh bikes with more flex in the rear than the Uzzi. Oh and currently this bike is running the 135mm dropouts but I have managed to score some 150mm dropouts from Winstanleys for cheap. This should stiffen up the rear even more.Cramped? I come from a BMX background so anything with a top tube of 20.75inches or more is HUGE. I prefer a bike that is small and nibble but so far so good.On the first outing I pedal'd to the local dj's(2m - 3m gap doubles) and I can confirm that this bike begs to be airborne. Stable as a Boeing 777 while being aloft and the suspension ramped up rather nicely when hitting the lips.I can really see myself using this bike from just pedalling it down the road, all day long pedals at VG to some DH action.Only time will tell and once I'm past the honeymoon stage I will revert with a proper review.

deanbean Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Hecklers are super bikes. Strong, reliable and effective.I like the Hecklers, I've always been a fan of single pivot bikes-simple. I saw one at the SSWC converted to SS, would love to have ridden those trails on it.

Super_mil Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Was that photo by chance taken from an office in Sutton Square Rivonia? Nope, but my office is in Rivonia.
DR ◣◢ Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Looks exactly like my old office back in Rivonia. Office block was on Gemsbok Ave.
RossW Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 If I wanted to go to 1x10, would any chain ring work up front or does it need to be 10sp chain compatible?
Unclerico Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 If I wanted to go to 1x10, would any chain ring work up front or does it need to be 10sp chain compatible? go 10 spd compatible, eliminate the doubt
