nox1111 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Schalk from SIlverback was awesome and arranged one of their in-house Prototype 27.5+ bikes, the Square, to join them for the Helderberg Free ride day. What a rad crowd to ride with, the guys are tough - hard on the climbs, even harder on the downhills. The bike is ridiculous - its's like riding an MX bike, you go through sections that normally would be hairy without thinking about it, and through sections that would normally be fatal, only slightly hairy. Even on another man's bike, very different from my own setup, and a bit small for me, I could hit most of the jumps on the black line and rail through slippery wet corners like a madman. Lekker people, super trails, epic bike.Maybe a plus should be on my shortlist for my next bike! Odinson, Rocket-Boy, deanbean and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nox1111 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Lucky guy! What is your impression of the Manitou Magnum fork? I've read a few reviews, with some testers calling it "clunky".I didn't get the "clunky" feeling. I got there a bit late - so I had like 10 minutes to set up the bike for me, swopped brakes, pumped tyres, adjust seat height, flipped stem etc, and so when we had to start I just guessed an air volume for the fork - turns out I'm OK at the guessing thing. Fork was stiff and plush without diving. Soaked up big hits and only bottomed out on one hit that caught me by surprise. The 35mm stanctions looks awesome and the fork really feels solid and surprisingly light on the front end. I myself would not buy Manitou forks (we have a bad history), but if this one came OEM on a bike, I would keep it. Odinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted December 15, 2015 Share no, he just has really small hands.At first I thought it might just be distorted perspective due to the shape of the bell and then when I saw two hands holding the phone I thought tablet Tumbleweed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
