Ryanpmb Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 LOL no thank you... Got death stares from that bunch at a recent event... Doubt that - well doubt it from Pat anyway. He's still proud of his previous designs and rightly so. Might have been some of his lackys thinking they're cool.
Stretch Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 lot of hate for morewood it seems...i dont know why...I still love mine - I realise its not Pat's anymore and i realise they are not R&Ding anymore...but hey..they are still maintaining support for the brand... edit.must say........I have felt like the dirty uncle before having my morewood in the midst of a herd of pyga's

Keen on Mondraker too!
Eddy Gordo Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah I have a shova. Still love it and ride it
nickelass Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Ride an mbuzi at least 3 times a week, and a friend who rides with me has the shova LT.We both say we will never sell them.
B1cyk1ll3r Posted October 2, 2015 Author Posted October 2, 2015 Don't get me wrong, i love my Sukuma!! Just thinking ahead in the event i need help id like to know it's available. was also thinking of a fresh paint job, so something simple like a sticker kit would be needed.

Frame parts will be a problem at some point

Frame parts will be a problem at some point I got a reply from Fabien, said they have spares just need to let them know what i need. So will see what and if anything is needed when i do the strip down.

I'd say get a set of pivot bolts as a safety measure... anything else is either off the shelf from Rush unless you crack something. If nothing else it'll make a good selling point if you ever want to switch.

Not bad in my opinion! Just waiting to here what exactly there full service entails.
patches Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 As we speak, my 7th Morewood is getting some royal treatment. Something experimental. I'll be sure to post pictures if it turns out well. I still love all mine (4 currently in the stable). What the future holds... I don't know... but I do know that I've had loads of fun on each and every one, and would do it all again if I was faced with the choice of what bike to get. But yeah, Fabien is very good at helping out. Drop him an email.

Just waiting to here what exactly there full service entails. The full service entails prep work, repspray (powdercoat), decals, and bearings. I had my Sukuma done by them. EDIT: Note, I designed and cut those decals myself, so not standard Morewood option. But the turquoise powedercoating was their handywork.

Is it the same one that was for sale in the classifieds a little while back (running a white Pike)? Mine used to be the boring white colour scheme. I really like this turquoise
Brian Fantana Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 My wife's frame is with them for repair at the moment. The results of the repair was not as good as they would like it to be, so they are manufacturing a new front triangle for the frame. Fabien is very helpful. My Shova is still going strong!
