Super Sywurm Posted July 30, 2019 Posted July 30, 2019 that lower pivot looks lekker massive great colour way on that frame! enjoy and happy miles!As my understanding, it is the same bearing as the bearing on a tapered headset.
Chadvdw67 Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 My Silverback Stride SX, really enjoy this bike, put a dropper post on, Ardent Race up front, some Giant flats and increased the front travel to 120mm, hoping to upgrade brakes soon as well.
Hairy Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 So long term reviews on the Slade Trail 1 .......... I am having naughty thoughts.
BikeisLife Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 And??? A quick review?This bike is simply AWESOME. Weight: 10.4kg with pedals, cages and a dropper. Fitted a different wheelset as the 23mm internal is a bit narrow for me but busy building up a lightweight race wheelset and then will do a final weigh in, guessing it will be on the crisp of 10kg. Very nice having two bottle cages, no more drinking mud from behind the saddle This thing climbs like a machine, set a new PR up a local 20 minute climb and it was on tired legs. The suspension platform is solid and very efficient but takes the bigger hits perfectly.

henningvr Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 So long term reviews on the Slade Trail 1 .......... I am having naughty thoughts.I'll write something soon-ish (hectic at work). I've had my Slade Trail (I assume this is the bike you are talking about?) for 7 months now, and I'm super happy with it. So far it has exceeded my expectations. Be naughty, you won't regret it.
