(Deon) Posted June 6, 2014 Share Oooooh, would love to paint my Zula yellow.....erm, just to clarify that it is a very similar yellow but not in any way the same. Funny story behind this actually.. I always have a giggle when I see the Pascoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 6, 2014 Share I don't think I ever posted a pic of my Sukuma up here... (Yes I know it had its own thread... but it deserves a place in the Morewood thread) (an orange Easton Havoc stem was added after this pic to complete the build) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted June 6, 2014 Share How has that paint work lasted RE wear and tear? To be honest... not too well... not too well at all. Under normal wear and tear conditions it would be fine. But shuttling killed it. However, at it's first enduro race it caught the eye of none other than Mr Morewood himself. He was very intrigued by my take on the last bike he designed for the big M. Then an hour or 2 later, Fabien (an engineer at the M factory, who also has a yellow Sukuma) also was drawn to my blue bomber. He said I could send it to them with my custom decals and they would do it in powdercoat for me. So yeah, when I have time to strip it down, I'll do that.

DubbelBuys Posted June 9, 2014 Share MOREWOOD ZULA Ok ... so who has done or know of someone who has done the following and give some feedback pleaseRun the Zula with a 140mm fork? Experience in running the Zula in 650B converted format? i was very eager when i built up my zula so i just slapped my 150mm revelation on & took it for a short spin around the plot.It felt weird.I then spaced the fork down to 125mm & it rides beautifully. The Zulas are very capable bikes for their travel. I built mine up to be burly. Built with: Spaced down Rev RLTSpank Spike wheels with Bronson on the front & Wolverine on the back. Now just to save up & get a Monarch to replace the RP23 & send it to Morewood for a respray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Posted June 9, 2014 Share what is the rear wheel clearance likehas the bikes handling been improved or has it been to the detriment of the handlingis he running a 100mm fork up front He hasn't experienced any issues with the wheel clearance. And has done some serious mud riding. Still handles like a dream. He is running 100mm up front. He was looking to put a 120mm up front.. but is battling to get hold of a new one that isn't tapered.

I am sure it'll fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
