wiledog_x Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Love my built-up Trek 6500... it loves single track and rocky downhill stuff! replaced the chain & cassette in December after many, many kilos....
Jakkals. Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Still take my merida o.nine 26" out for some fun.
madmarc Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I'm a 29er convert. A few months back my brother asked me to fix and service his old TREK 8000 after having a 14 year rest from cycling, still has a Judy shock on it with the rubber boots and all. evidently this was a serious bike in its day. Still has MAVIC tubeless V brake rims on it and a graphite carbon cranks. Anyway i do the mechanicals, not much wrong with it and I take it for a test ride at modders while he rode my 29er. I had so much fun on his old 26er so afterwards we both off to the bike shop, he buys a brand new 29er and I pick up a 2010 TREK Elite 9.8 full carbon 26er frameset, still brand new but at an absolute bargain price. Now moving all my parts over from my 26er which has been standing since i bought a 29er about 3 or 4 years back and building a 26er hardtail. All I need to do is sort out the frikken BB90 bearing set for GXP MTB cranks and we ready to roll. Cannot believe you cannot get a bearing set for BB90 GXP MTB cranks in this country !!
Raggieride Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Still riding my 2011 Trek 4300 with a few blingy bits added.Needs a new shock though, but very hard to find a 26" fork with a 250mm straight steerer!
King_Crispy Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 Anyone looking for an XL carbon Specialized Stumpjumper with XX components? Currently has 650b wheels on it. Bargain at R15k
The Guy in Pink Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 When my frame snapped on New Years eve it took a while of searching to find a decent 26er frame.There is not much on offer but I have a large investment in 26" equipment and I have thoroughly enjoyed my 26ers.I got a On-One inbred frame and last week-end I was underway again.I am looking forward to years more fun on it.

Nice bike! Any reason you have the cables/hoses like that in the front?
Kranswurm Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 My 26"Its up for sale in the classifieds.Love it and might decide to keep it
KingTJ Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Still have my first 26 inch bike..Cannondale Trail SL2 , cannot get myself to sell it, as it started it all....will have to go in my man cave
johannrissik Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 When I saw the title, I thought you meant OLD 26ers. Like this one which is on loan to a mate
Fleming Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 I recently acquired this 1995 Kona Explosif and upgraded a few components to newer equivalents. I absolutely love this bike. It started out as a side project but has now become my primary ride. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/stuartfleming/Kona%20Explosif/IMG_20160108_170119_zpsfoi9wlui.jpg
Fruity Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 Still got my Scott Scale 35. Bought it second hand after I sold my carbon Titan 29er to go back to 26er. I just like how nimble a 26er is around corners and on single track, even though the 29er gave me more confidence on certain parts of each trail. Thinking of selling the Scott though, to put money towards getting a new road bike, as I think getting back into road cycling will be better for my lower back. I'm due to see the Specialist next month to ask him if it's wise to carry on with Mountain Biking with my Osteoarthritis.

Gonduir Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 My 26er i bought from my boss for R4000. Sadly the GF has stolen it as its much softer on her bum compared to her 29er hardtail. http://2share.co.za/Files/Focus%20Super%20Bud%205.jpg
