future - lauf not stiff when doing anything on the rd and bobbing

I don’t ever feel like this and use 2 versions of the lauf with a fair amount of tar and a lot of hills by default - but maybe I’m just used to them

I like the feel of the future shock too and the ability to lock but on gravel ones a landcruiser and ones a hilux

I also built a gravel bike a month ago, all good, but then Spec has started a lock down special with the Diverges discounted by 40% or so. The comp carbon with Ultegra is now R35k instead of R58k. Good luck to anyone trying to sell gravel bikes second hand when the new ones are far cheaper.

The boss of Spez Ireland called me this morning to say that they’ll get me one of the new ones no problem, so I’m breathing easier now.

HKGK !

 

Does the lauf change the geometry at all since you have to replace the fork ?

Pffft... Toyota forks... get the Fox float SC AX. It can break down and leak it's oil all over the road.........

not to my mind but then on the 2 bikes I've used them on, I barely used the original fork

 

I don't see any downside to a lauf at my level - I climb seated, barely any bob and on gravel its the best I've used which includes FoxSC32 and 34 

 

Plus it's so cool looking

I bought a Momsen R 355 one Carbon gravel, and I can't wait to take it for a spin this weekend, should be here before end today. Order it from EVO bikes they had special on during lock-down R25999.00. That was the cheapest place I could find everywhere else more than that.

I'v been using my road-bike to ride gravel, just a bit to bumpy with the skinny tires. Hopefully the wider tires a bit more comfortable. We have lots off options here in Nelspruit for gravel riding. Anyone else bought one? If you have give some feedback on the ride review.

Awesome bike well done.............I have the 2019 green mamba and it is a great bike, have done many gravel grinds and a bit of single track on it
