Around 6 cm tall and around 5.5 mm in circumference.

 

 

I think it's more a case of Pink Floyd coffee art than real coffee usage.

Being the Pink Floys freak I am, heaven is my home right now :lol:

Looks cool.

Why a 26"?Thought they were out like Dodo's :whistling:

 

It will be a Long Travel (Not that long, only 140mm) Hardail and the 456 fits the persona very well.

 

26'er, because it needs to be tight and take flight ..... now I also recon that with a nice slack head angle and 140mm travel it should also (front wheel) roll over obstacles on the trail well as per "how well" a 29'er would.

 

I also took a long hard look at my riding style and where I ride. Marathons and stage races are not my thing and if I did choose to them I could on this bike too .... it is not like a 26'er can't tame mountains :)

 

So in short, the right bike for me (Well I will find out soon enough) and the type of riding I will be doing.

I got this!

Nice one Nige!

How much did SARS demand of your your retirement funds for it or was it just the VAT?

I also prefer a 26er and was chatting to one of the tyre reps this morning.He says if i change from a 2.25 to a 2.4 it will be very close to a 27.5.Not sure if anyone has measured this?

often said or though this, Nino's 27.5er has super skinny tyres on (50mm), I cant believe they're any taller than a 26 x 2.3 wheel.

I saw him on 48mm Dugast's with Ritchey tread.
