hahahaha why???

 

Yeah my only issue is still the 65 headangle which i know will be too slack for our trails ...

And Im not putting an angleset onto it. 

 

But I thought I have a 150mm bike now and cant go down to a 135 with the Bronson ... so had to go for the Nomad. And also the colour is just SO PIMP! ....

 

The new Bronson colours are cool but the Nomad is just that bit extra

To start, I have had an issue with my shock since I got it where the shaft has about 10mm of the 50mm exposed. Which means technically I had 120mm travel of the 150mm that I should have had. This has just been sorted by doing a service.

 

There is only one guy in S.A with the tools and know how to work on the Dyad which works at Omnico. the service cost around R800,00 and took about a week and a half.

 

We are heading to Karkloof this weekend where I will have my first proper test ride. if it still feels like I only have 100-120mm of travel it will be finding a new home... :whistling:

 

99% chance I will move onto a 650b Spaz #Enduro comp, the geometry just seems to tick all the right boxes for me.

 

 

The colour scheme you have gone with would even make a 64 head angle acceptable :ph34r:  :thumbup:

Given my recent propensity for going over the bars, I think a 65 degree head angle is about spot on.

What is the offset of the fork? That will make a huge difference to how the bike handles on that HA.

Have you told the cuzzie at omnico that you are not happy with the service on the can?
