Slowbee Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 here is to hoping she likes green/light green or whatever the heck that greeny colour is called ! *and my bank manager likes it to
Iwan Kemp Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Iwan, can you let me know the price ?Slider 1 - Don't see the demo anymore. Maybe give Jacques a call and ask. Also saw a packaged deal on a Sprada 2http://cyclefactory.co.za/shop/650b-mountain-bikes/silverback-slider-1-27-5-full-suspension-mountain-bike/ Slider 2http://cyclefactory.co.za/shop/650b-mountain-bikes/silverback-slider-2-27-5-full-suspension-mountain-bike/ would carbon for a starter rider make that much of a difference ? Geo, suspension (shock, fork), wheels and then drivetrain plays a more important part than carbon.
Slowbee Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Oh geesh Iwan, that doesnt clear things up! 140mm travel, 135 at the back, and sram x1 vs 120 travel, with ctd and xt. now that clears things up nicely .......... or not !

Glad I could help! R14k is a big difference...lots of road tripping and riding bikes locked up in there.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Geo, suspension (shock, fork), wheels and then drivetrain plays a more important part than carbon.One millllllion percent
_im_from_earth Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Definitely not both split pivot. Pyga is a 4-bar. A 9.8 at that price? No contest.They're almost the same ito suspension design. Both "split pivot" or a derivative thereof, both with "floating" suspension.Slightly different leverage ratios and pivot placements, but tbh they're as close as Dammit in performance according to the guys who know what they're talking about.Get the trek. That's a STEAL of a price. And it's a brilliant bike
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Definitely not both split pivot. Pyga is a 4-bar.Thanks for the correction, Andre (if it is you behind the name) I was thinking of the sukuma...
_im_from_earth Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 No worries at all, it is indeed Think I should actually work on an article detailing different suspension designs... Thanks for the correction, Andre (if it is you behind the name)I was thinking of the sukuma...
Iwan Kemp Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Think I should actually work on an article detailing different suspension designs... Do it.

Slowbee Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Definitely not both split pivot. Pyga is a 4-bar. Umm does this mean one better than another? in terms of the specs on first post what does this mean? 4-bar?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 Umm does this mean one better than another? in terms of the specs on first post what does this mean? 4-bar?No. Different suspension designs each purporting to be the best in certain aspects. Don't over think this, Terry... pyga, trek and Silverback. Each good bikes.
Slowbee Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Not over analysing - just want to make sure I get the best. Which brings this to the murky underworld of second hand - what kind of bike could one get second hand in the price range of R30K that meets the above specs, remembering that it is not a race bike we are after - but something that is forgiving and easy to ride.
popcorn_skollie Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 They're almost the same ito suspension design.

This was my understanding too. All this time I was pissed off at Pyga.4 bar? Am I really so doff that I can't see the difference?Someone please enlighten me. http://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/n-yp39j5/dtrzo/products/86/images/370/bnc_26__21013.1408635690.1280.1280.jpg?c=2http://images.evanscycles.com/product_image/image/107/30e/d47/51119/trek-remedy-99-2011-mountain-bike-frame.jpg
