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  :whistling:

I find it very hard not to chirp something along those lines when riding with my tranny-loving mates. :P

 

:lol: just had a image of the boys from Hangover :lol:  - that settles it - I won't be looking to get one for myself any time soon...

You do realise you're going to have to do something about the decals on the rims, right?

 

Yeah, rookie mistake. Gotta have those decals ligned up.

Have changed the stem to 6* rise 70 mm raceface stem from the Thompson 50 with 0* rise,as was getting a pain between my shoulders and neck on Saturday.

 

The tallboy was an xl so this large is slightly smaller. Test the stem this morning and seems to have worked . As for the rear suspension now that I have played a bit,it's tracks unbelievably well in the rock climbs . So much so that I can feel it grip and squatting when it needs to. Pretty special.

 

Something else i wanted to mention. It's feels like a 26", can't believe it's a 9r. You feel like you riding slowly but in reality it's the opposite.Not sure if this is because the tb is a big bike or it's an xl frame. Or it's a longer bike . But the tb has a bulldozer kinda ride and the stumpy is playful and needs to steered round things .

 

So is it a plunker..not all ????????

yeah. Camber = 110mm. Stumpy = 140mm

 

Camber = heavy hitting XC bike 

Stumpy = Heavy hitting trail bike

 

For Joe Average, the Stumpy fits the bill. You need to be VERY good on a bike to be able to do the things on a Camber, that are a piece of pie on the Stumpy. IE the stumpy would have a larger margin of error with a very small sacrifice ito efficiency and climbing capability. 

 

camber is 120mm front and rear since 2016 M/Y.
