Yup I love Tokai man, I just usually stick to Durbanville hills because I stay like 9km from there as opposed to 30-odd from Tokai. I just want to fit my old Rapide ControlPack to my Trance first. I don't grand that stock flat bar and long stem so much over the tech bits.

Some feedback on the Red Peril.

 

My search for the perfect set up continues. Air has gone into both the rear shock and the tyres. Shock is about 175psi and 30% sag while the tyres are now around 24 f and 26 r. The tyres are now almost perfect. Still compliant enough but far firmer under cornering loads - none of that awful squirm I hate so much. Grip seems great on the now dry loose trails I have frequented. The shock rides a bit higher which is great for climbing. Moving the seat a tad further forward and angling it down a bit has also helped.

 

Bike fit is a minor issue. I am finding the riding position a tad too XC - weight on my hands is higher than the old bike and its harder to get the front up. I am thinking a bar with bigger rise may be required to remedy this. Current bar is rather flat anyway.

I've been riding a Medium Trance for a few years, and while I've really enjoyed it, I always thought that I needed a larger frame. 

 

One came up in the classifieds and a deal was made, the sale of the Trance followed swiftly after (with a few tears).

 

I present to you my new (to me) Rocky Mountain Altitude.

You see when he rides his bikes, things break or fall off so with new ones he likes to wheel them around, take pics and look at them for quite a while before actually riding them...

Haaaahahahahhahahahahahahaha. Deep Breath. Haahahahahahhahahahaha.

 

Somehow his Steel SS even breaks (When he isn't lying on his back after a failed manual)

Unfortunately, there may be some truth to this....

 

It must be all the power in the legs...

I have been eyeing that altitude frame, and then the seller told me its sold. Its all good tho, as its already built up and riding where as it would have taken a while by me. I also have one of those Xfusion Sweeps on my hardtail. I quite like it, and the fact that you dont have to use as much air as other forks.

Looks good but I think it needs at least a 200 rotor up front - what is that a 180? Cheap upgrade and your brakes will feel a heap more potent.

I have a Shimano 200 rotor that I'll swap for that 180 so FREEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

If it's a 180 and if it's shimano and if it's not bent and if it's not knackered.

You got a 200 Center Lock? You got a 180 to 200 adapter too?

Demmet. No 6 bolt. But a few zip ties and some gaffer tape will sort that out.
