ScottC-M middag

 

Van my hek ry ek in daai rante in die agter grond op die foto 5 verskilende roetes,wat wissel van 1km tot 75 km sonder om die dorp se ligte te verloor.Nie een die selfde roete.

I've had one or several q's via PM regarding fork offset and particularly the 51mm I'mm running on the VIPA. Instead of re-typing it every time I though I'd share a link to an article explaining it in detail here:

http://calfeedesign.com/tech-papers/geometry-of-bike-handling/

 

In short: The more offset a fork has, the less trail - giving faster steering. I have to warn you though, trail, rake, offset, head angle,etc, etc...all just numbers in a big brewing pot that only makes sense when taking into account the complete package.

 

Travel a bike not maketh, chainstay length a bike not breaketh.

Once apon a time, in a little Karoo town not all that far away, there was a very wise English teacher who knew to keep Shakespeare away from all the farm boys or there would be no hope in hell for most of them to matriculate. But I'm happy to learn now, even if it is late, especially if bike words are included! See if you can write a sonnet about your build!

Another great weekend's riding behind my back. Rode Tokai on Saturday with no intention or goal other than just riding the Vipa. Realised the suspension has bedded nicely and can do with a tweak or two - front and back. But, to be honest I couldn't be bothered! Was such a great day out riding killer single track (which I helped build!) on a perfect day.

 

Sunday I rode from my house to Zevenwacht, couple of twists and turns there and headed home. What a blast. Only had a water bottle and my phone with me and really enjoyed the relaxed cruise on the bike. Very little comes close to just being out and about on my mountain bike on a sunny day.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that it's capable of more than just being a pure race snake bike. Granted I've made some spec tweaks to aid this, but the frame and rear suspension is capable to soak up Cape Town's rocky, rooty trails.

Ek het myne oor die tel.gekoop.(R2500).Vir daai prys glo ek moet dit darem iets mooi/goed ens. wees.

Toe ek hom kry was ek glad nie beindrik nie.Ek het wel op gesit en gery,tot hy gekraak het.Is natuurlik my skuld :whistling: :cursing: .

No 2 het ek toe goedkoper gekry(R2150)(Kon nie hier by ons iets anders "cardon"so gou in die hande kry nie,vat toe weer een.)

No 2 was ook nie vir my so mooi af gewerk gewees nie (fotos)

Die MCFK is op geplak en op al 2dars het een van die name af gekom.(foto)

Die H/bar is grof,kiein gaaitjies al in die ronte. :huh: (lyk soos pit/sandblast merke).(foto)

Waar die stem vas kom is ook nie mooi af gewerk,as jy dit met se my Ritchy wcs Carbon wat op my 26er was vergelyk.Het ook n Ritchey WSC carbon post op my 29er en is sy geld (R2200)die moeite werd. :clap:
