Pikey Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 How's it ride... plunker????Even though I haven't got the suspension dialed and the rear was to soft and so was the front. It's amazing. But those that past me on the ups soon heard my freehub all over them on the downs ,twisty bits & rocks . It Climbs so well it's stupid actually. It wasn't the bike on the climbs it was me . Been slack lately and i paid for it on the climbs . As soon as I have the suspension dialed it will be killer. Now to get some fitness back .Just as a comparison I did the 1st trailseekers . Same distance just shy of 70km . And the I am only 2 min slower on the stumpy . With an average speed difference of only 0.2kph ... And I still stopped at the last watering point on Saturday coz I was knackered and stuffed my face with pancakes & doughnuts ????.... But difference is I had a such jol on the stumpy it made me grin .
Pikey Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Oh and all the climbing came near the end. According to start officials there was 900m of ascent . The last climb seemed to never end . But the stumpy was faultless in the rocks climbing up. Am well pleased with the outcome. Considered not doing the race on the he stumpy but it was the acid test . And it past with flying colour .
Pikey Posted May 21, 2017 Posted May 21, 2017 Very very very nice!!!!Thanks dude ,can't wait to get it to thaba and dial it in .

Rick Sanchez Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 damn. It'd be between the Santa and the Tranny, tbh. I hear both are absolute HOOTS to ride... Go to Stoke Suspension to get a test on the Tranny. If you want to ride a Tranny, then you can probably find one near Long Street late at night
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 If you want to ride a Tranny, then you can probably find one near Long Street late at night I find it very hard not to chirp something along those lines when riding with my tranny-loving mates.
Odinson Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Some more What a terrible bike. Let me know when and where and I'll come and take it off your hands.
s14phoenix Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 I find it very hard not to chirp something along those lines when riding with my tranny-loving mates. just had a image of the boys from Hangover - that settles it - I won't be looking to get one for myself any time soon...
NicoBoshoff Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 You do realise you're going to have to do something about the decals on the rims, right?
