Ryanpmb Posted December 1, 2012 Share Ryan. the 29er is a oneTen, the 650 is a OneTwenty, as per conversation and emails with Patrick. GInteresting... Wonder if that's why it's happier with the 140mm front? Edited December 1, 2012 by Ryanpmb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted December 1, 2012 Share I'm guessing, in AM configuration with a 140 or a trail/xc bike with a matching 120 front and back G Interesting... Wonder if that's why it's happier with the 140mm front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanpmb Posted December 1, 2012 Share I'm guessing, in AM configuration with a 140 or a trail/xc bike with a matching 120 front and back GYeah. Makes sense. More trail/ marathon than XC in the 120mm setup I'd say. Interested to hear your owners review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted December 1, 2012 Share Ryan well I loved the ride last wknd.thinking my riding this side will suit the bike perfectly. will gladly do a review, now to just eat the last set of fingers and wait for those China's to complete the manufacture process.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 4, 2012 Share Picked this up today.... (sorry for the crapberry pics) And here she is partly built up. Just need the hubs to come through from Superstar (need to order them still) and ideally I'd like a Lyrik up front, but that will take time. Saddle is just a preliminary option (stolen from my wife's bike) and the grips need replacing. Otherwise, spec: Giant Reign X 2010 (6.7" / 170mm Maestro suspension goodness)FOX DHX 5 Air shockRevelation TEAM forkSRAM X0 Redwin Red & grippiesBrave Monster 760mm bar (15mm rise)Kore B1B 35mm stemElixir 5 brakesetGoodridge Cable kit for shiftersSHUN crankset & Truvativ bash / chain guideSpank Subrosa wheels on Superstar Tech Evo hubs (32h) Cav' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted December 5, 2012 Share I hope you are getting the acid green hubs from superstar and a nice set of green ESI or similar in green grips? CPT ... she is going to look good, congrats on the purchase! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT ... she is going to look good, congrats on the purchase! yep. techno lime green hubs. Then green or black grips. Got grippies, so green and black on a white bar may be stretching it a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted December 5, 2012 Share what's with the shrink wrapping on the seatpost collar?looks like an inner tjoop section with held by insulation tape. assume it's to keep the mud out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delilah Posted December 6, 2012 Share Ordered two more sets of carbon rims on Tuesday. Tubeless-ready, 30mm outer width, 32h, 3k weave, glossy, 390g +/- 10g, $165. (Link) They'll be just like the ones on my Tallboy, just 3k instead of 12k: The new rims will replace the Crests on our two Storms. Hopefully they'll be just as nice as the first set! I plan on doing a review on these rims once we've had some saddle-time with all three sets. But for now, we wait. These rims are proving so popular that the lead time is now a whopping 15 days. Add shipping and customs delays and, well, they probably won't get to me before the new year... Paul Ruinaard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
