It looks more like it wants to do a full frontal assault on as much tech as it can gobble up during a ride. To me resembles the kind of bike that wants to get rowdy, party bike style.

Decided to go the 27.5+ route. So far the bike feels amazing Very, very nice. I've just pretty much done the same thing but am running 29 & 2.6 but am on the lookout for some nice wide 27.5 wheels and some phat plus rubber. What are the specs on these wheels?

I’ve set it up for maximum fun. Put the sliding dropouts all the way forward for a 415mm chainstay length. I don’t care about Strava times. All I want is to pop off of any rock or root on the trail 🤘🏻 Me rida my bicycle, Robbie Stewart, ChrisF and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Tracker Posted August 7, 2023 Share Out goes the Niner MCR9 Gravel build and in comes the frankly awesome Shand Shug steel Hardtail from Scotland (via PTA) with 853 main triangle and custom italian Dedacciai rear triangle. • 130mm travel • 64 degree head angle • Ability to run as 29x2.6 or 27.5x3 plus sized love Wider bars, shorter stem and some Sam Hill flats are going on tomorrow and Tokai time on Wednesday! Sell the 170mm enduro rig on Thursday. 😝 Thanks goes out to @1x1 for being a legend, a great deal and getting down to CT.

Nice! 👌🏻 I had my eye on this one, but the size large would have been too big for me 😅 Thats a quality frame. Enjoy! Dirt Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Stewart Posted August 8, 2023 Share 22 hours ago, dasilvarsa said: What Like a Downhill Hardtail King of Thing ? I am not sure I'd want to ride downhill on a hardtail. But maybe not even enduro. I will just like to ride some black and deep blue trails on a bike like that for the pure raw fun it looks like it wants to have. I won't build up a bike of that nature to go ride flowy, meandering singletrack on manicured trails. That might just bore me to tears.

I personally would not benefit from having one. I've Already Tried All sorts of things on my Big Nine but it works best as standard.

I’m just on the cusp for height to be honest but looks super fun so just decided to go for it and hope the larger size added longer reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted August 11, 2023 Share Courtesy of a pulley bolt stripping itself, upgraded from the 5800 to 7000. Will McGyver repair the old one and keep as spare. Its been an expensive month for me w.r.t. cycling. EDIT !!!!!! Please see the end of this thread for possible issue Edited August 12, 2023 by The Ouzo Dexter-morgan and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Lyle Posted August 12, 2023 Share It’s been a while since posting here. Been on a sabbatical from riding.. I’ve been looking for one of these for a while now. I know the suspension has its flaws, but man I think it’s 🔥🔥. Came across this on marketplace and couldn’t resist. Custom paint job.

Dirt Tracker Posted August 15, 2023 Share Thanks Ebay! Just threw a cheeky offer (I's actually say bordering on the helluva cheeky) on this 2017 Tranny Smuggler that got excepted. • Full invisi-taped • -1 degree headset • one lady owner (apparently) • 75.5 degrees seat angle • 67.5 standard HA / 66.5 with headset • 115mm of trail crushing bounce at the back and a 140mm fork waiting to be fitted. Now looking for a CC il Coil that will fit as that could be alot of fun! splat, Me rida my bicycle and Dexter-morgan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
