Meezo Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks for the comments and tips guys... Will check out the Spez Butcher tyres. As for the 80mm stem, again with limited to no knowledge, on my other "XC" bikes i run 100/110mm stem. I went with 80mm with the intention of changing it? Let's see it might change soon
NicoBoshoff Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Ja look I think the "wider and shorter is better" soundbyte is regurgetated too easily without taking rider geometry into account. See what is comfortable and stick to that.
the nerd Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Went for a ride today at Thaba with the 150mm and its awesome, will have to get used the quicker steering response of the 60mm stem but otherwise awesome...
Slapsock Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Ive finally finished building up my Mojo HD.
ALLMTB Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 A slightly better pic of the 150mm ImageUploadedByTapatalk1422003696.530616.jpgI met you at Thaba on the weekend! I'm the guy with the 2012 Trance with 34's up front. Nice to put a face to a hub profile.

the nerd Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Did you go with a Kalbo?See you are running a chain guide with it, keen to hear a review when you have had a ride.It's a kitted wonder ring. No guide either. I know it's a terrible pic ha ha It's also 1x9 no clutch etc so I'm holding thumbs.
ALLMTB Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Yeah man was good to meet you, that is a really nice Trance you got... maybe after i get mine painted it will look good like that! ha ha haThanx dude! I added some photos. Glad to see you got a NW ring. Best thing ever!
TAAHIRWP Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Very nice! Your colour coordination also looks superb. Are those crossmax rims? Fox 34 FLOAT right, how you finding it?

Fox 34 FLOAT right, how you finding it?Thanx man!The Crossmax ST's are great, even if they are a bit narrow, but they are much stronger than I though they would be and pretty stiff. The fox 34 (150mm) is a vast improvement over the 120mm Reba I had before. Its a 2013 model so the CTD damper does make the fork dive a bit when braking etc, but I don't notice it too much.
