Pure Savage Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Maritz was a tall 6, and still I had to jimmy the seat mounting to get it low enough for him. THIS is what the rigid bike does - Shocks-10 (Large).jpg small "bump" in the road and the front wheel lifts clear of the ground. Imagine he had to steer at this point .... no wonder they keep on falling on the rigid setup. With the Momsen he has a "nice" front suspension (it feels better than most of the others in this size). Going up the same "bump" you can see how the suspension works - note the air gap above the brakes -Shocks-11 - Copy.jpg and now compressed as he goes up the "bump" -Shocks-12 (Large).jpg he is just so much more comfortable on the trails with this bike ! now even doing single tracks - M-3 (Large).jpgIf he had a road bike, he should be avoiding bumps

BenReaper Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Had another nice ride with some good company again this evening.Rode up to a local cycling landmark called "die kruis", this involves quite a lot of climbing that some might enjoy more than others.
