Gen Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Gen, if hubby is DIY capable, go look here I have also seen another ghetto conversion that used a gas strut inside the seat tube here There are alternatives... That first link is actually a clever idea.. cause having to manually drop your post then involves making sure you get the high etc right..which can be a real pain.
Mada3400 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 im open to swaps if someone has a decent XL trailbike frame laying around
Skylark Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 If any one is looking for parts for a build/upgrade this guy is selling 2013 Saint Crank(assuming bb as well), Clutch RD and shifter for R3k, also has some code brakes for R2k neg:https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/109303-cannondale-downhill-bike-gear/ I bought some other stuff from the same bloke a week or 2 ago and took a quick look at the other bits, looked to me like barely used/mint, don't think the crank even had any noticeable scratches on it. Very good price for the Saint stuff :http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/s?q=saint
Sean32 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 So I picked up my Toy this weekend. Hell what a nice bike. Just a few Suspension stings and we A for away.
Thermophage Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 You bastard! That bike is amazing I have the 2010 Comp and love it...even more so now that I went and did 1x10 conversion ... and Rweverb arrives today!
nigelhicks Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 nice sean! ... Looks awesome What guide are you running up front? Is it one of those generic BB-mount guides? Or a proper ISCG-05 mount?
Mar Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Looking for my first enduro bike, Is this a good buy? Commencal Super 4 Pro 2011
nigelhicks Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Looking for my first enduro bike, Is this a good buy? Commencal Super 4 Pro 2011 Ya not bad - what size would you need? Are you going to keep your hardtail for XC riding? or swop out for one full sus to do everything? If you are going to keep your hardtail - I would look at this for R1000 more ... much better groupset and brakes etc http://dialdbikes.co.za/commencal-meta-5.5-limited-2010.html BUT - they dont have large or XL - so you need to check size. The longer travel and slacker geometry will make the ride more fun
Nofearnofun Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 So I picked up my Toy this weekend. Hell what a nice bike. Just a few Suspension stings and we A for away. Was looking at your bike at the LBS on Friday. What a epic #ENDURO machine!

Sean32 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 nice sean! ... Looks awesome What guide are you running up front? Is it one of those generic BB-mount guides? Or a proper ISCG-05 mount? Nige its a Proper mount. Bolts into the frame.
nigelhicks Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Cool I have been battling to find one like that ... I ended up getting the BB-mount - so will see how it works ... but actually wanted the iscg-05 ... but you cant get ... not even on chain!

Thermophage Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Is that chain guide not completely redundant with a narrow-wide chainring and clutch derailleur? Or does the Enduro not come with NW and clutch?
TopFuel Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Is that chain guide not completely redundant with a narrow-wide chainring and clutch derailleur? Or does the Enduro not come with NW and clutch? Makes the likelihood of dropping a chain very small, but some folks want that added security. There really isn't much harm to putting one on.
Thermophage Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Makes the likelihood of dropping a chain very small, but some folks want that added security. There really isn't much harm to putting one on.True yeah. Been runnign without one for a while and not dropped...So unless my frame came with one I aint gonna put it on
