Baaisikilist Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Looks nice, but kind of overkill for the Spruit non existent downhills.... but whatever floats your boat... Pfft, you know nuthink...! Way too little travel for the spruit.
Agteros Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Are the potholes on the tar crossings THIS bad now?
LazyTrailRider Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Shame man - give him a break - it's for the spruit jump lines... where it probably fits the bill quite nicely..... despite the teasing. Its going to be totally useless going UP hills... :ph34r: I'm really just feeling sorry for his legs already! As far as jump lines go, I reckon it'll pretty much swallow most of the jumps whole with about half its travel Edited January 30, 2014 by MH for short
Guest Omega Man Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 No local Intense agents last time I checked. (It was Paragon) As for decal kits. Slik Graphics have some of the best decal kits around. You'll have to email and ask what they offer for M9's, but I got my 6.6 custom decals from them and I was very impressed. (They also do nice crank protector decals) The're Swedish, but ship to SA.I know someone who's looking to pick it up. He may or may not be a current Intense owner
nigelhicks Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 but its not a 29er??? :ph34r: hahahaha Nice Maxxis ... DR ◣◢ 1
DR ◣◢ Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Saddle updatedSaint pedals fitted.Changing the grips this weekendand when the post office stops striking one day the Avid Codes are getting changed for Hope Tech 3 V4sThe bike is something else all together. Dropped the travel from 9.5" to 8.5" and it now pedals extremely well. Completely different riding this to anything else I own. The faster you go the better it feels. As soon as I get out of injury rehab Ill take it down to KZN for some proper riding. Still looking for Fatbars to replace the BooBars on the bike.

DR ◣◢ Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Found out the Boobars on the bike was cut to 750mm. Good enough excuse to replace them. Renthals in 10mm rise from the Mbuzi fitted. Mbuzi got some 760mm carbon goodness.

DR ◣◢ Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Boobars are a little scratched and looking a bit worn. I have somebody interested in taking them. If not ill out them up for sale.
Capricorn Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 what's the rest of your setup: HA, chainstay length, shock position?
DR ◣◢ Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 what's the rest of your setup: HA, chainstay length, shock position? HA set to 64deg Chainstay is on the shortest setting to help get the bike a little more nimble. Shock is on the middle progression setting and running 8.5" travel. Still want to tweak the shock settings a little. Capricorn 1
Capricorn Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 you dont mind the increased BB height with that chainstay length and HA? DR ◣◢ 1
DR ◣◢ Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 you dont mind the increased BB height with that chainstay length and HA? Actually not. Going from 9.5" to 8.5" it raised a little also. With the proper sag dialed in and the 175mm cranks I'm already striking pedals a little. Will stretch it out and drop to 63deg HA for that other place later this year. Will try other setting as soon as I get the green light to ride again.

Even without a pressure washer a lot of water collects in BB. i stick on some tape or stuff in some putty just to block it up before washing. But make sure your crank shaft is properly greased to prevent corrosion. Inspect often if you wash often. DR ◣◢ 1

I've got a L5/S1 disc prolapse in my back. Currently pinching a nerve quite badly rendering my left leg pretty much useless. Can't ride at all. 8 weeks off. PS. Do you ride one of the blue M9s on the back of the Ranger?
