Chavo Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Couldn't find any existing threads on the forum about Ridefarr and was wondering if anyone has used any of their products as yet? If so, is their any feedback?
Iwan Kemp Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 I have some of it on a bike or two. Will add some thoughts and a pic or two later
Shebeen Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Couldn't find any existing threads on the forum about Ridefarr and was wondering if anyone has used any of their products as yet? If so, is their any feedback?had to google it. http://ridefarr.com/products/ looks like swanky marketing. wonder if the actual products are as good as they look.
Jewbacca Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Bogus is riding one of their steel gravel bikes... 5k for a TIG welded frame is for free. I know Iwan was trying out their saddle (at R700 is also well priced) and their inside grip ergo handle bars. Interested to see the feedback as the products certainly look well made and well presented

Interested to see the feedback as the products certainly look well made and well presented Yip, yip & yip I'll see if I have a pic of Bogus' bike. Here are mine Bar:Only just fitted so can't really comment on every day use. Also, not a soooper doooper gravel or endurance trooooper so maybe not the best guy to ask. Trying it to get a feel and to have an opinion on it. QC is good and the bar is solid. Looking inside shows no signs of cut corners or skimping on QC. For the crowd it's made for I think its great idea and solution. Saddle:For R700 everyone should at least buy one of each colour! In shape and overall profile it's a bit of a distant relative of Specialized's Power saddle. It's very comfortable with just the right amount of support everywhere. The squish is more than I would normally opt for, but on my steel hardtail it is actually a butt saver. 10/10 dentists would recommend.
Jewbacca Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 The bars look a little narrow, but if you had those with bar ends AND some Spirgrips... almost as good as a Jones Bar for something like Munga or Freedom Challenge/Tour Divide... The saddle looks rad. I think I'm going to splurge seeing as I bought nothing last Friday
Patchelicious Posted November 28, 2017 Posted November 28, 2017 Benky is riding one at the Munga, am sure there will be several selfies and a write up on the product soon.

#allaboutMTB Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 got one of their Carbon Handlebars - been using it for the past few weeks - really light and comfy!
JohanLotter Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 I have a Farr Race Strap. Looks neat under the saddle but my spare tube keeps falling out when I ride rocky downhills. Still need to find a way to secure the tube better. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

T-Bob Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 All I can see when I look at the logo is 'Ridefart'
#allaboutMTB Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 One width only, I think? ja - 720mm - very common for XCO/Marathon bikes.
Fat Boab Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 ja - 720mm - very common for XCO/Marathon bikes. My bad, I meant the saddle width...
Chavo Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 My bad, I meant the saddle width...Appears that way, 148mm wide
