DJR Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 Explain the chain tension on that bike to me?Single pivot design with the pivot at the BB, so whole rear triangle is one piece and since it pivots from the BB, the chainstay length does not change as the suspension moves. Hairy and RocknRolla 2
Hairy Posted December 22, 2018 Author Posted December 22, 2018 now if only we still had those awesome single pivot lekker Morewoods around with modern geo it would be nice (even though they are not steel)Reading the comments on PB, reminds me of a little online space we have here in SA.... DJR 1
DJR Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 now if only we still had those awesome single pivot lekker Morewoods around with modern geo it would be nice (even though they are not steel)Or an old Santa Cruz Superlight
Kranswurm Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Or an old Santa Cruz SuperlightI sold this one... DJR 1
DJR Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I sold this one...I find it interesting how a design that is about 20 years old, can still look so good and ride so well. I really would not mind to have one in the 29er version.
DJR Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 I see my memory isn't all that bad. The first Superlight will have its' 20th birthday in 2019! Where the hell did the time go? (Sorry for going on about aluminium bikes, but my prediction is that in 20 years time there will be a thred about "Aluminium is Real" )
Hairy Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Now you will just have to get a certain Mr Mercer to weld you up a lovely steel single pivot trail bike I see my memory isn't all that bad. The first Superlight will have its' 20th birthday in 2019! Where the hell did the time go?
