MoreTrails Posted February 21, 2011 Share Sawdust - some truth in what they are saying but for all the wrong reasons. 100mm travel is ideal (obviously), but the frame will outgun the SID everytime. SID is too XC for the this XC bike, as it is a little light and would flex to much (in my opinion). The Zula really can handle a whole heap of whipp-ass out on the trail, it is one tough bike. So a Fox or a Reba I would say is better suited. Maybe think about changing your LBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawdust Posted February 25, 2011 Share Maybe think about changing your LBS? It is the first Morewood they have sold, so I'll be patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawdust Posted March 1, 2011 Share Nice looking bike there!Thanks, it also rides as good as it looks. Did 2 rides over the weekend. One in the forest with lots of climbing and downhills and the second ride with mostly single track. The single track is where the bike really impressed me. Just glides over obstacles, even with the rear shock set to pro-pedal (stiff) I have much more confidence than I had with my Anthem especially in the fast corners. Really happy with the bike so far. to my LBS for building the bike up so well. Everything is butter smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cejay Posted March 1, 2011 Share Hi sawdust,have to agree with you the Zula is an incredible bike almost like it is on rails in the single track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTrails Posted March 1, 2011 Share Well done on your bike. The Zula feels remarkably similar to the Shova on the downhills - and rough single track is where the bike excels!Happy biking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the shock that way because its a large frame? Mine is the other way around but medium frame. Does this make any difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnydabutcher Posted March 8, 2011 Share I dont think so - might just be to have extra clearance for the bottle. Not sure though. Loving the wheels - very fast rolling! X.O all round makes shifting super smooth an precice and the Nior crank is also a nice addition. It goes really well - well worth the wait!

patches Posted April 5, 2011 Share ok, so I recently added another morewood to the bike shed, in the form of this: Now I know it's not as bling or super slick as the other 'woods out there... but it's pretty darn rare. Don't think there is another one of these within a 300km radius of me... never mind the fact that one has never been posted on the hub before.
