Nofearnofun Posted August 26, 2014 Share Basic build. Proper rear Der being sorted and new dropper post should be done by next week. I might put the ss Green rimmed dartmoor raider wheels on as the current set needs some tlc. Spin around the block feels positive, now just to dial the bike in. Looking good! The Green wheels would go nicely with the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted August 26, 2014 Share this was a custom fit Greg M to race the mega avalanche when he was with Honda. You will also note that the shock mounts to the underside of the top tube and not the down tube as per standard. Further to this the bus at mw have machined up a thru axel conversion that is not shown on the pic How would the change in shock mount position affect things, why would they need to do that, bike looks pretty much exactly like a shova now?

Hairy Posted August 26, 2014 Share My thoughts as well, but has slack HA & ISCG tabs.I was also a little put off by the thought there of .... but I loved my Shova, so I recon that this then is a Shova when it is all grown up. The ISG tabs though are the old school tabs, so my guide had to run with a BB adapter..The HA is slacker than the Shova, but by no stretch of the imagination is it slack compared to the modern splurge of #ENDURO rides, also known as All Mountain Bikes to those before the big thing being Enduro Specific this and that!

True regarding the HA. I actually meant slack'-er' than the Shova. What is the HA on the Mbuzi? 67° right? With this Zuliza being a cross breed whatever you want to call it: Shozi, Mbuva, Shova MT... It will be a very lekker bike when you've dialled it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the HA on a shova? they are pretty damn slack, one reason why they handle so well I suppose, especially with a 140mm fork and wide bars they feel a bit like riding a chopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels much better with a 150mm fork, short 45-50mm stem & -1.5° angleset headset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
