Flowta Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Nice picture.What size is that? Keen to here if you agree with me on how it rides. Anyone know what will the easiest way to convert to 1x10? Remove large and small chainrings, get either a Narrow-wide middle chainring or upper chainguide.
Craig Stubbs Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 XL Rides brilliantly. Much better climber than i had ever imagined, and descends as well as expected. By no means a XC bike, but no slouch either. So so plush...love her already! Still cannot work out how they arrived at the price. I converted my Yeti to 1x10 a while ago. Hope T-Rex 40T on the back, and a Hope 32 Narrow Wide on the front. Simples! Dont think i would do it on the Reign though. I find with the 1x that i actually spend more time searching for the right gear especially when Trail riding where ups and downs come from one corner to the next. As much as Shimano have been forced into 1x10, they were pretty right when the drummed on about 2x10 offering advantages that no single ring setup can compare to.

Your just going to have to get some mates together and road trip to Gauteng for the Hakahana enduro on the 29th to give that machine a good run!
Nofearnofun Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Anybody in jhb currently have a medium or a large reign I could swing a leg over?

Brawler Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 So it looks like the AM2 wheels dont like stairs. Got a moerse dent in the side wall. Are novatec quick engagement decent enough? Decently light or should I go for hope. Paired with the defacto flow ex rins
EugeneS Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 SHOTTO, just get it already!When Berto does that, it's not as sexy. Wonder why.

Iwan Kemp Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 price? No idea really, but it would be save to assume that it won't be that much more than the carbon Trance which is selling for R25k. I'd say sub R30k at the current exchange rate which will be a steal. It's a lot of money, but a good R15k - R20k less than the competition.
