6 Fattie or 29er

Stache looks nice ..but eish HT i'm way past that punishment ...i like 120mm of Squish

Stache with rigid or suspension fork? How're you liking the CHupacabras?

Too old and grouchy for rigid 

 

120mm of sweet bouncy bliss upfront. I love my big hairy Chewbacca's (As i call them, big Star Wars fan  )

 

i have exclusively ridden Bonty 29er 1 tyres for many years. Love them, roll sweetly and test your skills in the wet (Crap handling in other words). The Chewy's are sweet and easy rolling. No wet weather experience yet. Still have to fiddle with my pressures a little, but so far, so good.

My Intense is 120mm both ends. I have 80mm bone crunching HT's to 140mm Trail HT's. The Stache is the must un-HT bike I have ever ridden. Very, very comfortable, almost like 80mm of rear travel. The tyre pressures are however critical. 2psi either side of the sweet spot becomes either sloppy or bouncy. Good luck

yes i have seen on most reviews that they say the tyre pressures are critical .....hhmmm decisions

Very nice.

 

Not sure about your weight, but on the Krampus with Knards, I'm running 0.4 bar in front and 0.6 in the rear, 80kg body weight.

So i havent had a chance to get back here and reveal what i managed to get my paws on.

 

i got A spez 2016 Stumpjumper Carbon 29er with Pike upfront and have to say im super stoked with they way its going.  Slightly different cornering technique required compared to the 650B, but in the flowy and straighter lines it hauls ass and gobbles up ground with ease.
