The top tube lines and the riser lines work perfectly together...

Which WTB's are you running there?

 

Thanks man, I usually run a 100mm stem flipped around and the suspention wound down to 100mm, but I was taking a bit of a break then and just ran the 75mm for trail & all mountain, makes such a difference to the charracter of the bike. Its loads of fun.

 

Those are Wolverenes..2.2" and 550g each.

I have mixed feelings over them though, very nice and grippy in the winter and nice and fast which Is exactly what I wanted. but after converting them to tubeless the very first day I managed to Pinch the casing Front and rear.. so Ive been running tubes since. Mabe I must try my luck again..mm.. But Its such a mission and a waist of sealent. After running Maxxix Lust and being able to hit anything at any pace, I must probably just chil out a bit.

 

thinking of putting a Crossmark on the rear again cause those WTB's do wear on tar, I wil keep the other for front at a later stage.

I have a crossmark on the rear and a monorail on the front, and yep, you can smack anything on them.

 

I have Nokian Gazza NBX 2.2's on now that came with a wheelset... The sidewalls are nowhere near as firm and i have to run .5bar more pressure to avoid pinching them at the rear, front is similar maybe .2 higher.

 

They are light though, I will race them tomorrow and see how they are, so far grip on the Nokians, in tokai, has been superb. There is so much grip on the jeeptracks and single tracks now.

BOS, that bikes looking pinned bro!!! Nice, we will see you in Nice-Neh for a ride.

 

Wind up the suppension to, then its like rding a continental pillow. Otherwise you going to chip your teeth...

Dudes how is it that you allways see these pristene bars, levers, controls, groupsets on MTB's?

 

I don't get ot do you never ride the bloody things?

 

all my stuff has stone, rock dings chips on them. If you are going down a loose rockt dec ent at 50km/hr + your bike needs to take the hits. You go over because you cant go round. and I am a Moffie on the downhills. I even stopped in the last race to k@k myself out for being so timmid.

 

I have dings on my downtube, chainstays, shock etc just from riding.

 

Please tell me what I am doing wrong????

 

 

Help. OK I will start a new thread with this Q.
