Dirt Tracker Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Never really liked the looks of Knolly or had anything that gave me a wish to ride one but this could be something to change my mind. On that shorter travel tip I think I'm about to go on.
Dirt Tracker Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Jig that double link thing the shock runs on makes me nauseated For sure, Knollys Ellsworth and the old Siverback Slider with the massive long rocker just couldn't get my head around. looks like some guys thought of it in a shed (and not in a good way like a Starling) and bolted it to the back end of the normal bike. I know the linkage works well and Knollys have a reputation for being 'engineers bikes' so you know they are dialled but still.
Pieter1 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 What a deal! https://www.onedayonly.co.za/slider-lt-1-mountain-bike-only-xl-frame-available.html Hairy and Dirt Tracker 2
Dirt Tracker Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 What a deal! https://www.onedayonly.co.za/slider-lt-1-mountain-bike-only-xl-frame-available.html Thought that was at first but it's frame only and XL only. For a alu frame with pretty standard rear can I'd sy that would about par. Surely they aren't R36 new? You can get an evil following for R40K and that's full carbon beast mode.

Surely they aren't R36 new? You can get an evil following for R40K and that's full carbon beast mode.It's the whole bike. The "XL frame only" part is in reference to the fact that there is only size XL available. The whole spec is even listed in the description. It's an amazing deal if it is the right size.

stefmeister Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Jig that double link thing the shock runs on makes me nauseatedyeah, they can try put whatever bs spin on those linkage design, in the end of the day it's just an unnecessary/useless design to get past the spez patent. Dirt Tracker 1

If I was not building something else already I would have got this for sure. Blerrie nice! Hairy, Dirt Tracker and Rigardt@Scott 3
MarcBurger Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 100% whole bike.BikeAddict mysteriously also only have XL available @ R25.9k

I was inches from pulling the trigger on one about a week ago and still super keen but trying to be a bit sensible and check some reviews.
