covie Posted March 29, 2012 Share suspect if you bring in forks, rubber and a good backup service you might get some calls. Though most shops dont even stock enough 29er rubber and thats frustrating enough as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted March 29, 2012 Share Give a few away for free and then put a few top riders on them to get a few wins and then watch the sales climb. The 29er are to big for me and i like the feel of the 27.5,who knows where the next standard will lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pornstar Posted March 29, 2012 Share Don't want to post pics just yet..we still playing with a few things..just want to see if the demand is going to be there..can spec with RST forks. We do 29er hardtail and 29er full suspension already so might be a nice add on We don't deal with shops much, hold our own stock, around 350k odd at most times , do our own warranties..

Stevief Posted March 30, 2012 Share I have a 26Ds and was thinking of going to 29er but im short 5 ft 8 and 29er could be wrong for me, so i wouldnt hesitate at getting 27.5 for my next ride, so i guess i would be keen make sure its a DS, hardtails arent my thing.

andretraut Posted March 30, 2012 Share My philosophy, go big or go home. Can you maybe organise a 36er for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnydabutcher Posted March 30, 2012 Share Rubber and hoops will be the biggest call. Bring some frames - they will sell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pornstar Posted March 30, 2012 Share We busy working on it, we need to decide how many and what size and if HT or Dual. We are also almost finished making our own wheels too...so it seems tyres and tubes etc are the next thing we need to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be loads of interest. Caerus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAAD4 Posted March 30, 2012 Share My philosophy, go big or go home. Can you maybe organise a 36er for me? Looks interesting, but would you really ride a bike named a "Poephal?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 30, 2012 Share I'm from the dinosaur age and still use tubes so local stock of tyres and tubes would be key to me being interested, prefer slime but this is not a necessary as i can DIY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
