kk6gan Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Awesome bike! And I love that trail. Side note: Skollied @Otero's flat Shimano Saint pedals and picking up my 2FO's tomorrow...Now I just need to get a lekker broek Amped!Where did you get the 2FO's and if you dont mind me asking, what was the damage on a pair?
Jako De Wet Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Where did you get the 2FO's and if you dont mind me asking, what was the damage on a pair?Specialized in Stellenbosch seems to have a decent amount of stock, they come in black with white "side soles" or screaming orange. They retail for R2160, but they are currently on 25% off, so decided to pull the trigger.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 This is my #enduro bike. Coming from riding XC bikes all my life, this has been quite the eye opener in terms of how big a difference geometry actually makes. Sections of single track that were quite daunting are now easier to negotiate, and a lot more fun (as I am not afraid of face planting anymore mainly due to the dropper post/getting my weight far enough back). I'm loving every second on this bike!! SILVERBACK SLADE TRAIL SPECIFICATIONS WEIGHT: 12.96kgTold u so. ???? Excellent bike tho!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 This thread has been to quiete for waaay to long. So I thought I'd post my new steed, some may recognise this Warden as it was previously Iwan Kemp's bike. Spec is... Knolly warden carbon frameFork: Mrp ribbon coilShock: cane creek IL coil Cranks: Xx1 carbon Pedals: oneup comp flatsDrivetrain: box one 11 speedHandlebar: nukeproof horizon carbon Dropper: Lyne 150 xlWheels:Lyne amp 30 with high engagement hub (loving them) Brakes:rsc ultimate guides ????Nice one, Andrew! How u liking it compared to the reign?
henningvr Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Told u so. ...Ya, I never listen. Should have done this sooner!
Sparky and the Warden Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Nice one, Andrew! How u liking it compared to the reign?Loving it! Shorter chainstay and wheelbase makes it alot more responsive and playful. And the Lyne high engagement hub makes me feel like a kid again!

And the Lyne high engagement hub makes me feel like a kid again!Funny you say that, that's exactly what's happened after putting the Lyrik, ccdb & carbon wiele on. Totally different bike. The Marz was (is) great and is serving a mate well, but the lower weight really is noticeable
RockCoach Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Don't think I've posted a photo of the steed I've now had for 2 years already...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Don't think I've posted a photo of the steed I've now had for 2 years already... Been on my steed for over 2 years too.Time flies and so does the bike so why change..........
CdT85 Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 My and Jaco's steeds moments before dropping in on OG on Helderberg And the upgrade fairy come to visit as well. out with the Fox, in with the CC on my Ibis
MORNE Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Don't think I've posted a photo of the steed I've now had for 2 years already... purple and orange...I think we are long lost family
dirtypot Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 I've had this in my garage for a few months. Really must get out on it again! Too much has been going on recently, but I'll hit some trails on it this weekend. I love it - so planted, confidence inspiring and fun!

The one I rode (it might even be that one) was as good as my mates VERY well set up Tracer.

Must be quite a change
dirtypot Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Looks like a beast , you were on a Giant before. Must be quite a change I've still got the Anthem. It's good for XC stuff.
