(Deon) Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 Really? You're the first guy I hear with such a bad opinion about Monarchs. You should dare, that's how progress is made. Ok you're right. When i do finally get to ride my new bike I'll be thinking about your opinion. Thanks again.
deviate Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 My Trance x with 140 revelation. Not an Enduro bike but does the job just fine. NO WAYS MAN!! that is a enduro machine! more or less the same as a stumpjumper and there are guys doing the world series on stumpjumpers and the American enduro's on your bike, your solid on that one

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Isn't the Trance a 125mm frame and the Stumpjumper a 140mm?... yep yep. To me it's more like Akrigg's custom Teocali...
Brian Fantana Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 yep yep. To me it's more like Akrigg's custom Teocali... This one?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 This one? Yep. AFAIK it's a 120mm / 125mm at the back and 140 at the front.
Bazinga Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Yep. AFAIK it's a 120mm / 125mm at the back and 140 at the front. Was a 120 in front and swapped it out with the 140. Still climbs well. In fact that revelation is awesome.
patches Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Yup, was a 120 in front and swapped it out with the 140. Still climbs well. In fact that revelation is awesome. I've heard quite a few former Trance owners say that upping the front to 140mm was the best thing they ever did.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Was a 120 in front and swapped it out with the 140. Still climbs well. In fact that revelation is awesome. Yeah, I was referring to Chris Akrigg's Teocali, and the similarity in travel front & back...
Hairy Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I've heard quite a few former Trance owners say that upping the front to 140mm was the best thing they ever did.One of the guys from the importers of Giant has set his bike up like this and he recons it is a flipping awesome ride!
Bazinga Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I've heard quite a few former Trance owners say that upping the front to 140mm was the best thing they ever did.Yeah, it's so much better with the 140 but then again my previous fork was a pogo stick. Not awesome on hard landings
Iwan Kemp Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Not sure what exactly it is, or what it will look like (fair to say I have somewhat of an idea), but my next bike will be an Enduro beast and will be an Ibis Mojo HD-R. We'll know all the details on Monday...
Hairy Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Crow, that ti 456evo still had your name written all over it.
DeanvZ Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 The one I have, used it for my Trek Fuel, but didnt like the frame, so sold it again and I still have the guide and fitting. Csixx has a website and distributed by Cycleafrica The one I have, specific for pressfit and no iscg mounts.(Still up for sale, just havent got round to posting) http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/news/2013/01/29/1359431449093-cih9dqbzbuut-670-70.jpgBraailegend,do you still have this for sale,if so,how much?
(Deon) Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 First ride report: The route up was a simple affair, used the 2x10 and happy with the result... Bob is just a guys name. The route down; easy to lift, poised in the air, landings are soft, controlled through the rough and corners like it's trying to lose the cops!
