Iwan Kemp Posted April 2, 2012 Share that would explain why the bike is still not released .... + some other issues. They realized ON the Eurobike stand that the FD will mount will not work with Shimano. First thought it'll be okay, but then Shimano and SRAM went all 2x10 and the one FD won't work with another's cranks. To change that there were some knock-on effects... Still doesn't add up to the massive delay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted April 2, 2012 Share OK Crow, found the Flux on the Rush Sports site:http://www.rushsportscycling.com/Store/Buy/Turner/Flux-DW-Frameset.aspx Any idea on frame weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted April 2, 2012 Share 2.5kg's is a decent weight for a 150mm travel alum frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted April 2, 2012 Share Probably closer to 3k's for 150mm. Unless you are talking ex shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtrider Posted April 2, 2012 Share Single Pivot as found on the older Raleigh RDS , Morewood Shova and Santa's . But I don't think you do get SP's anymore . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 2, 2012 Share Shova: 3.45 Spot: 3.3SB-66: 3.2Tracer: 3.2Giant Reign: 2.9 Liar .. my Shova feels at least 6 x that heavy when lifting it yet half that weight when pedaling ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted April 2, 2012 Share Liar .. my Shova feels at least 6 x that heavy when lifting it yet half that weight when pedaling ... I hear ya. Think it's actually 3.6, Mbuzi 3.9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted April 2, 2012 Share Single Pivot as found on the older Raleigh RDS , Morewood Shova and Santa's . But I don't think you do get SP's anymore .Morewood is still Single Pivot. So too Whyte, Orange and plenty others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted April 2, 2012 Share That was a surprise! Maestro is in the lead.. Funny that, having taken it's design queues from DW.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted April 2, 2012 Share I'm pretty happy with my bmc's suspension system. It looks very similar to Maestro, but with slightly different pivot placement. Here is an image of a bmc frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Shore Posted April 2, 2012 Share Spez + Brain is the worst of the ones on your list. You have no idea what you are talking about. The FSR may not be the best for more AM and DH guys but other than that it is by far one of the most efficient with excellent handling and hugs the corners beautifully. Evidence of this efficiency being that Stander and Sauser just won by 40min on the FSR epic's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow's opinion I don't think, should not be sniffed at in any great hurry, besides the intended use is xc with travel at the 100mm mark, not for AM or DH. That said, Maestro, DW and a few others works pretty well across the board. Brain could not do that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding to PorS - I doubt Burry & Christof won "because they were riding a Spez" And no, Crow's opinion is not to be discounted. He has ridden a LOT of bikes. And conclusively.
