Your Enduro ride

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

My new ride...

Kona Process 111, running 27.5s and a 150mm fork.

Dayum, son! That there is a wrecker!!!

 

150 must make it super monster trucky and give it a nice head angle.

Here's my lady. 

 

First ride on the new rims and fork this pm, just on the green belts. Holy mackerel! The GRIP!!!! If I wasn't a pussy, this thing would need a license. Like a frikkin tank! Just need to sort out the bar 3cm higher on the stack height would do that)

They are. I remember the grip levels from riding on Iwan's hungry monkey (which had the Derby carbon rims) but honestly this was a surprise as to just how grippy a tyre at a decent pressure with good lateral support can be. 

 

Plus, the fork is subliiiiime

Gaad daaaang it! I'm also digging my reign,I've noticed that the difference over the trance is night and day, where this bike starts to even come into its own is where the trance dare not tread. What hoops are you running? Must say I think that I'm the exception to the rule but I'm really loving the stock suspension, such a well balanced shredder.

[nolipoli]

Sjoe. You've changed it quite a bit. Could 650b+ fit in the rear?

It will fit in the frame, but my fork won't take it - Revelation 27.5.

 

I did think it would make a great pathway for future upgrades though. ????

It's about 66.5 degrees. The bike in factory 29er / 120mm fork configuration is at 68.

Is that a 66 up front (180mm)?

Noice! Looking sick! Who gave the fork a little TLC or was she still ready to rip?

[NicoBoshoff]

Is that set at 180mm?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

 What hoops are you running?

WTB ASYM i35 (asymmetrical rim ie spokes offset to one side to create a stronger structure) with 35mm internal width

 

Is that a 66 up front (180mm)?

Yep yep

Cleaned it up a bit, stuck it on and took a bit of time to do some preliminary setting up. 

 

Is that set at 180mm?

Yeah. So it's STUPIDLY monster trucky at the moment, and I'm even more outclassed by its capabilities than I was before.

Yip,the 2009 66?

Here's one with a 180mm formula fork and some kaanget squish out back. Its practically a mini DH sled.

That 38mm chassis on the 66 is not going to do any favors on the way up. Don't compare the weights with the pike. You don't wanna do that. Nevertheless this madness has my stamp of aproval. Looking good. Now time for some black lowers and new stickers.

Lekker Myles! Looking wild!

I'm going to see what GSpot and Eden feels like after work today!

 

[Rich990]

Damn that looks rad, Myles!

I have an RS Totem (spaced to 160mm) with 40mm stanchions on my Trance 

 

Up, not too bad
