TheV Posted June 4, 2012 Share Don't know if I would ever consider a Pivot 29er.... there are better options available elsewhere, imo. But let me tell you, the Mach 5.7 Carbon is one awesome machine: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapad Posted June 4, 2012 Share did a bit of reading and they seem quite good but they seem to be more in the mould of the niner jet etc which seem heavier more toward all mountain looking for something along the lines of the scott spark 29er, spez and maybe even the Rocky mountain 29er so looking at all options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted June 4, 2012 Share Pivot's are designed by Chris Cocalis, formerly of Titus. If I was considering a FS 29er, it would definitely be on my shortlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapad Posted June 5, 2012 Share Well I took one for a test spin today, I am on a large Anthem and the medium was a great fit It seems to climb really well with just about zero bob still need to work out the rear shock as the new rp23 has a zero,one and two as opposed to the normal 1,2and 3 the stroke of the rear shock was quite a bit longer than my Anthem too The bike weighed 12.1 kg with a mix of xt and slx it seems to be able to be flicked around quite easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their anodized finishing.... In most of these "better" suspension designs it's usually recommended to run the Pro-Pedal lever in open, the Pro-Pedal nob on 0, and rebound 5 about clicks clockwise. The rebound adjustment has 12 clicks of adjustment. The rebound knob is the red adjustment dial. As a general rule, adjustments that are too fast (counter- clockwise adjustment) will produce a springy ride with excessive kick-up of the rear end causing a bucking sensation. Adjustments that are too slow (clockwise adjustment) will cause packing of the rear wheel indicated by a sluggish ride feeling ride. *Slower rebound- turn the knob clockwise**Faster rebound- turn the knob counter-clockwise Edited June 5, 2012 by TheV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheV Posted June 6, 2012 Share Thanks for that Crow Ja, that's what I said, put it in 0-0 dude and turn the red rebound dial 5 turns clockwise. then BOMB it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapad Posted June 6, 2012 Share 20k a bit steep for a alloy frame damn Ja it is but the price for boutique brand in the class of Santa cruise and niner Having said that it's stiff in the rear fairly light sort of in the Anthem range suffers little to zero bob trying to get them to get it out on the track The rear suspension is patented and I hear good things about this DW link feel slot like the Epic Spez It's got all the new bits rear through axle, tapered head tube wide BB 92, the rear triangle is a feat of engineering and looks stiff, this is where I feel the Anthem is lacking Also it has the latest RP23 shock I would say it's about 3 grand over fair price but then again it special The beauty though is instead of spending 40k I can get a new frame and transfer over the parts Am also looking at Spez but plenty of the parts are not interchangeable, and stock is a problem so what happens if you bust a frame and then it's also very pricey Anyway still in the looking phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
