Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 The tyres just arrived. Bought them from Easybike at a really good price. Unfortunately they sent the wrong size. LOL! First the wrong frame, now the wrong tyres Anyway, Matthew from Easybike is sending a replacement set and the courier will collect the 2.25's at the same time to take back. With the public holiday on Monday the switch will happen Tuesday. Why are they the wrong size? Did you go for 2.4's?
Delilah Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 Why are they the wrong size? Did you go for 2.4's?2.35 The rims are very wide and I want a decent amount of rubber between them and the rocks. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

jules1976 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 this will probably be one of the hottest SC on the trails in the upcoming weeks. Please make sure that it is insured !! it might be costly but i wud rather have piece of mind knowing its insured for its full value. looking foward to the viewing the pics once she is completed.

carbon29er Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Just have to convince her that a white forks with Kashima coating wont be the end of the world...On a black Santa Cruz? The only option is a Carbon Lefty... BTW Check with me for a price on the Fox with Kashima coating if you do go that way... Delilah 1
Delilah Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 I am looking forward to seeing the finished product As am I! this will probably be one of the hottest SC on the trails in the upcoming weeks. Please make sure that it is insured !! it might be costly but i wud rather have piece of mind knowing its insured for its full value. looking foward to the viewing the pics once she is completed. Thanks Jules 26er. Yeah, I always insure. It isn't that expensive with Outsurance. On a black Santa Cruz? The only option is a Carbon Lefty... BTW Check with me for a price on the Fox with Kashima coating if you do go that way...LOL! An asymmetrical fork for an OCD freak? Fox with Kashima is really nice, just a bit heavy.
jules1976 Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 As am I! Thanks Jules 26er. Yeah, I always insure. It isn't that expensive with Outsurance. HAVE U TRIED MIWAY ? LOL! An asymmetrical fork for an OCD freak? Fox with Kashima is really nice, just a bit heavy.
Delilah Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 HAVE U TRIED MIWAY ? I get a better deal with Outsurance, because we also have house and cars insured with them (plus 4 bikes)
TheV Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) On a black Santa Cruz? The only option is a Carbon Lefty... BTW Check with me for a price on the Fox with Kashima coating if you do go that way... She has the same issue I used to battle with.... Fox Factory Series = WhiteFox Talas = Black She want's the black paintjob, but on the Tallboy you don't need 120/140mm of travel.... Talas is +300g vs. the 100mm RLC/FiT 29er or even the the new 100mm CTD. Edited September 21, 2012 by TheV
TheV Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I recon White Factory 2012 RLC/Fit, Taper, 15mm is the way to go. And then as treatment for the OCD = http://www.slikgraphics.com/
Delilah Posted September 21, 2012 Author Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) CRC now have these in stock: http://www.chainreac...x?ModelID=85092 2013 SID RCT3 Solo Air 120mm tapered black 15mm maxle Perfect, just a bit pricey... EDIT: Also, these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=85085 2013 Reba RLT Solo Air 100mm black 15mm maxle BUT it does not seem to be tapered Edited September 21, 2012 by Delilah
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 N, I'd still rather get the Reba. Far more plush than the SID. And cheeper as well...
