s14phoenix Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Looks wicked the way the rims pop with that frame colour... Love the shock factor! I agree with Eddy Gordo... Some shocking yellow grips would add to the look of the bike! PROPER!!! The tyres look kwaad man!
Bomberman Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Morning, quick questions. What tyre to put in the front, Specialized ground control or a purgatory control.
Bizkit031 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Morning, quick questions. What tyre to put in the front, Specialized ground control or a purgatory control. Purgatory front and GC back. Hairy 1
Hairy Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Morning, quick questions. What tyre to put in the front, Specialized ground control or a purgatory control.had both on the front before and trusted the purgatory far more.
Bizkit031 Posted January 24, 2016 Posted January 24, 2016 Got my Butcher Grid casing to go with my Slaugher Grid,now got to wait for winter to get here because the slaughter does not like to much water.
RockCoach Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Thanks Robodog!I was deciding last night what option to go for and I made up my mind for the Onza setup.I tried calling you guys yesterday but there was an issue with the lines coz I couldn't get through at all. We are hopefully riding that side this coming Saturday so I would like to bring the bike past then (if all goes to plan). And just another thank you for the chat on the phone the other day, you were amazingly helpful. And that is so rare these days! Just based on that one call I have already told all my 26" riding buddies to go straight to you guys!I only wish you guys were closer to me... I would end up being a fixture there! That's awesome to hear. Sorry for the lack of comms dude. Fibre line was down and our phones are VOIP. Enjoy the new boots!
Enduro_Jakes Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 That's awesome to hear. Sorry for the lack of comms dude. Fibre line was down and our phones are VOIP. Enjoy the new boots!No stress man. Just sorting out a few things. Will give you call soon to set a time to bring in the bike for those tyres! Chat Soon! RockCoach 1

I got the impression that you may have picked them up on my day off on Sunday. Cool, whenever suits will sort it out for you. Enduro_Jakes 1
Enduro_Jakes Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I got the impression that you may have picked them up on my day off on Sunday. Cool, whenever suits will sort it out for you. A massive THANK YOU to you, Robodog and the team at The Trail Head. Stopped in there yesterday to get my Onza's fitted and the guys there were beyond helpful! Decided to go with Ibex all round. Apologies again for these infernal rims giving you so much hell! Tested the setup last night and it was the perfect night for a test, had mud, gravel, stones, rocky bits and the ever horrid loose powder dust on hard pack... these tyres just stuck to everything. Can feel i am not used to that level of grip! Cant wait to tackle Haka on them! RockCoach 1

At least we got them seated. Enduro_Jakes 1

You'll find that even a 1psi difference can make a mahoooosive difference in the way a bike performs. Which is also why I'm such big wide rim convert...
Fr33rider Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 I must agree on the Onza tyres, My Canis/Ibex mix is pretty darn good, I had a massive 2 wheel drift on Sunday and didnt see my a$$ Came flying around the single track and straight into a patch of dry grass clippings on the trail resulting in one unintentional roost of note. I have no doubt that the tyres saved me from ditching it. I weight 105kg and am currently running both back and front at 1.8bar, I'll start playing around with reducing the pressures to see what works/feels best. Eddy Gordo, Hairy and Enduro_Jakes 3

And time for breakfast! But it was an awesome chat! Looking forward to my next visit there....and really hitting those jump lines with meaning!

Well I ran 1.8bar rear and 1.6bar front last night and had grip for days...even when running wide into the damp grass...well not running wide, more like running tight? not used to the grip levels so when i turn in i end up turning too much and ending up in the grass... made for a few funny and crudely worded reactions!Going to drop it a little for tonight's ride and see how that feels.... I weigh around 65kg depending on the effect my morning coffee had RockCoach 1
Devon Mans Posted April 8, 2016 Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) So guys I'm mixing up my tyre combo this winter. After running a 2.4 Ibex DH up front and WTB Wolverine 2.2 on the back, I've changed to a Maxxis Minion 2.5 DHF 3c up front and a Hans Dampf 2.35 Evo Trailstar on the back. I havnt really tested the HD yet but I must say that the minion is amazing! The Ibex was really good but I didn't expect the Minion to be that much better but it really is! What is the general concensus on the HD? Will it compliment the awesomeness of the Minion in the upcoming winter months? Edited April 8, 2016 by Devon Mans
