Shebeen Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 yoh, i'd lag if kev ev came out and said that raleighs were *** the day the sponsorship ends.
downhilldemon Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 any1 ridden them - what do you think? only ridden the hardtail, but was wondering how the dual compares to other bikes?
Aquatic Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 This came as a shock to every one,especially Raleigh owners..
splat Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Kevin mentioned this on Twitter the other day. He seemed pretty excited. Shan Wilson and Andrew McClean seem to like thier Volcan's... Raleigh must be bummed as they lost the road team contract as well.
AndreZA Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 ...Andrew McClean seem to like thier Volcan's... AM is on a Garry Fisher next year. A 29er nogal.
Skaap Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 yip dit is bad vir raleigh.... nou ry die MTN pad ouens met Eddy's (pretty cool) en die MTB ouens met volcan... dit het baie gehelp dat mense in die brand kan vertrou omdat MTN dit gebruik het... nou sal releigh hulle pryse nog meer moet drop om nog in die mark te bly.. ps: AM ry al lank al n 29'er GFSkaap2009-09-17 23:49:01
Mr Mulebar Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Chuffed for Kevin & David, they deserved a lot better than a of the peg bike from China!
Moab Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 ...Andrew McClean seem to like thier Volcan's... AM is on a Garry Fisher next year. A 29er nogal. Yup! I have seen him ride a 29er G Fisher and its so pretty!!
techguy Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 ...Andrew McClean seem to like thier Volcan's... AM is on a Garry Fisher next year. A 29er nogal. Yup! I have seen him ride a 29er G Fisher and its so pretty!! He was on a GF 29er two years ago already at Sabie experience! He didn't like it cuz he had tyre problems...
TitusTi Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Kevin mentioned this on Twitter the other day. He seemed pretty excited. Shan Wilson and Andrew McClean seem to like thier Volcan's... Raleigh must be bummed as they lost the road team contract as well. Shan's been riding a 29er since about May as well.
rock Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Chuffed for Kevin & David' date=' they deserved a lot better than a of the peg bike from China![/quote'] um...isn't that what a Volcan is? Those bikes have even less pedigree than Raleigh do...... anyways pro's ride well on anything that they're paid to....... wonder how Raleigh are going to market their bikes now?
AndreZA Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 One good thing is comming out of this, no more yellow Raleighs.Mampara2009-09-18 04:48:55
ASTANA Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 One good thing is comming out of this' date=' no more yellow Raleighs.[/quote'] YES!! and no more yellow zipps! Thank god!
Dirty Twin Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 As far as I heard it was the sponser that canned the deal i.e. probike and not the other way round.
Eugene Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 One good thing is comming out of this' date=' no more yellow Raleighs.[/quote'] Just yellow Volcans and Mercxs instead
