Guest Posted November 20, 2014 Share A few new items being showcased on this as seen at ACF not so long ago. The FUNN oversized 35 bar & stem Sun Ringle Helix Wide AM TL ready rim & is eyeleted I would however only use this class 32mm RS fork for a sub 80kg AM rider. For the more aggressive as well as heavier rider 34mm stanchion 130-140mm travel only for my AM customs. MRP Stage, XFusion Trace29, PIKE - for 9r builds MRP Stage, XFusion Sweep, Manitou Mattoc Pro & PIKE - for 650Bs Nothing narrower than 750mm bars and only 45 to 70mm max stems 32H DB14G Hoop & spoke config Preferably brass nipples as apposed to alloy - depending on abuse and environment and if the rim has no eyelet protection. 28H wheel configs for the lighter rider only None are built to be weight conscious - they are AM rides meant to be durable / practical Dropper posts are essential XFusion , FUNN , RS Wheelsets - PYGA, Vittoria, Sun Ringle, FUNN, Hopefully Industry Nine soon;) Saddles - FUNN Throne II & Adlib , Fizik AM class saddles Grips - ODI , Red Monkey Cockpit - ANSWER , ODI, FUNN Preferred groupset or drivetrain - Shimano Brakes - Shimano, Hayes, Formula Tires - Veerubber, Spez, ONZA, Mavic, Conti, Mitchis, Vittoria etc etc etc trail - er - park 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trail - er - park Posted November 20, 2014 Share You can get real thick Birzman protective strips. pse let me know if you find,would still like to put some on other places. CWC is the RSA Importer / Distributor by the looks of it. It is expensive , but thus far works very well. Pity more isn't supplied in a pac. Johnsons' Cycle Works in Edenvale sells clear, flexible tape by the running metre .... about 80 Rondts (bargain!) per running metre if memory serves, about 4cm wide .... the type they use in motor sports on cars and bikes. It flexes when applied so you can get it to bend on frame curvatures, etc. and is very tough. Best kept secret ... call the owner, Kim Johnson - great guy - 011 453 9586. I personally dislike the Birzman strips as, when they get tatty and you need to remove them, they leave a horrible residue that only comes off with meths and muchos elbow grease.

Guest Posted November 20, 2014 Share I noticed tires on there that are not Kenda... I was wondering when that would happen.LOL, you have a keen eye dude. To all my AM friends out there - NEVER bother with the Kenda Honey Badger or Karma tires for Trail or AM use. The tread patterns have no value to us what so ever. I'm sure they have their purpose but do not belong on a Trail , AM/Enduro bike. TrApT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 20, 2014 Share What hubs are you using? the Easton hubs don't handle 15mm front and 12mm Syntace in the rear. GMy mainstay / workhorse hubs are always Sun Ringle Dirty Flea and Jumping Flea. PYGA hubs will follow soon and be on the complete PYGA wheelsets. I also do/offer custom Chris King builds and the New Vittoria AM Daemion 650B & 9r wheelsets have been added to the mix. FUNN also provides a complete std flange , 6Bolt , sealed bearing hub on par with Ringle / Hope etc Hopefully Ind. Nine will be on offer too A wheelset option in all class groups, but all tough and reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephan777 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Looks like a nice spec, pretty complete! Why 3x10 and 11-34 in the back?No dropper?What handlebar? What's the intended use?Thanks Doezel Not sure if the 11-34 is still ok, I bought it when I first planned to have a 2x10 crankset.I'll invest in a dropper later. I will probably do mainly trail. The handle bar is a Dirty30 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
