Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 hey! slow down there Grease_Monkey, what are you trying to say?*Looks at Stumpy in the garage.... Your stumpy means you are still more skilled than someone rolling around on a 160mm travel couch....... Jako De Wet and Riaan H 2

MORNE Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Just wondering and I think it's been stated somewhere else... Surely it will only lift the bars affecting fit and reach and not affect the 'geometry'? Unless you put some kind of spacer/extender between the fork and the frame off course...yes. it just works as more spacers under your stem. They exist for when you need to raise a stem/handelbar but your steerer tube was cut too short/ was slammed. The stem clamps to this part...which in turns fits over the exposed steerer tube and clamps to that just like a normal stem would. It only gives you that 40mm od extra you didnt have under the stem before. it doesnt change anything geometry wise that you couldn't have achieved with a normal uncut steerer setup in the first place. the only thing that might worry people is the extra connection....but then again people also ride Dual sus bikes where the rear triangles are only connected to the rest of the bike with a few bolts lol. edit: also people worrying about them possibly sliding off the top obviously dont remember how Quill stems used to work lol Edited May 28, 2020 by morneS555 NotSoBigBen and Mongoose! 2
PhilipV Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 An Epic requires more skill to ride than a Stumpy, the Stumpy makes up for a lack of skill why else do you think all of us fatty EduroBros are on heavy bikes that don't pedal well?Is that why you downgraded from a stumpy to the school bus?

Veebee Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Reebok Zjet 460 arrived on Tuesday, and also Spez 4iii crank arm power meter added onto my Swift Uvox.Was the only treadmill that fitted into my budget that we could get without waiting weeks for it. Paincave/home office set up. Just need to tidy up all the cables etc. DJR, Long Wheel Base, DJuice and 4 others 7
Rigardt@Scott Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Is that why you downgraded from a stumpy to the school bus?Yes, the school bus requires even less skill to ride.
Pieter1 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Sounds lekker. Edited May 28, 2020 by Pieter1 splat 1
Pieter1 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 DSO? Drive side only?Drive side out. The guys on the look at my bike leaning against stuff are pedantic about it. The Ghost 1
PhilipV Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Yes, the school bus requires even less skill to ride.Well, no one expects a battleship to yield. Except land. The land does not care how much travel you have if you are heading straight toward it. Rigardt@Scott and DJR 2

The Ghost Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Drive side out. The guys on the look at my bike leaning against stuff are pedantic about it.Thanks for schooling me, next time I’ll get it drive side..... if I remember.I must admit when I’m riding I don’t think much about that sort of thing
Pieter1 Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks for schooling me, next time I’ll get it drive side..... if I remember.I must admit when I’m riding I don’t think much about that sort of thing Hahaha! No man I was just teasing from the start. Enjoy the bike! The Ghost 1
