Riding in Africa Posted October 5, 2011 Share Only had time for a short tarmac ride, buti have been riding 29r for the last 5 years before all of the knobs got on baord the set up is nice the bike was a large which was spot on though it did have a -15 stem which i would change to a -5 to lift me up. my Gary Fisher is a med so this had a more streched out cockpit for racing. I was told that you can change the head angle by moving a spacer Nice kitCrank OEM XOXTR RdXT shiftersAvid 9 brakesSun ringle hubs on ZTR Arch lefte with remote locloutMonach rear shock ( would swop for RP3) WT 11.5kgs but did not feel this heavy. it was well weighted ( some bikes are heavey front or rear) Price R53,500 which means they are charging a preminum on the overseas pricing!!!!! Still going to buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
