BikeBailing Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 always loved the spesh SX.. Actually not a SX Its a big hit, so its their freeride frame running and the lower end of its travel at 160mm up front and 170mm at the back. It is a a bit of a fatty, but still a looker.

It is a a bit of a fatty, but still a looker. I think if you are going to have purple bits, then the frame needs to be black or white. But that's just me... I'm sure she rides like a dream.
Sidewinder. Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks guy, will gooogle it. Looking at how the chainguides tension the chain on the bottom side as well, would this reduce chain karate as well? Sounds way more hardcore than complaining about chainslap

I'm sure she rides like a dream.Haha, I actually started out feeling that way. The purple bits were all transfered from my white jump frame I sold, I just moved them across thinking I would get a more appropriate colour after paying for the alps trip for next year, but now I have really started to like the combo so probably won't change it.

Headshot Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks guy, will gooogle it. Looking at how the chainguides tension the chain on the bottom side as well, would this reduce chain karate as well? the MRP x2 is made by MRP, not SRAM. I have just taken mine off as I now ride a 1x10. The MRP is well made, but doesnt stop the chain falling off the big ring unless the clutch is engaged so pretty useless IMO.

SRAM and MRP work together to make guides... in fact SRAM might even own MRP... http://cdn.sram.com/cdn/farfuture/j77Nij78NzeoK-g5ly2uSqI_V1FCHcWg00KdkYcB6kU/mtime:1372788203/sites/default/files/images/products/accessories/2012-x0_chain_guide-large-en.jpg
wesley_r Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm running the cSixx Doubler on my bike. It's amazing. That is all.
hayleyearth Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I'm running the cSixx Doubler on my bike. It's amazing. That is all. I am hating my cSixx...they clearly have much room for improving the design.
BikeBailing Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 So if anyone is shopping for a bike, I just popped in to the concept store at Melrose Arch and was speaking to one of the staff and it seems one of the owners is selling his Enduro for R14000. She didn't know year oir spec but said anyone could enquire at the store.
wesley_r Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I am hating my cSixx...they clearly have much room for improving the design. What are you hating about it? I couldn't be happier...
DR ◣◢ Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 What are you hating about it? I couldn't be happier... Love my 150g. Considering getting a granny and running a doubler later on. Will use the 150g on the DH rig or play bike.
hayleyearth Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 What are you hating about it? I couldn't be happier... I have the 150g. It is just bulky and tooooo manu little components everywhere and the tolerances everywhere isnt the same, so I get a lot of rub, doesnt matter how I set it up.It also gathers too much dirt and then it is difficult to get it clean. I strip the complete one maby ever 7-8 weeks just to clean it thoroughly.
