nathrix Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry for the slight hijack' date=' but couldn't help posting a pic of my new Kwela here [/quote'] All good
splat Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 39mm seatpost ... what bike is this off ... a Scott Genius ? 30.9mm
Racingsnail Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 That is awesome! Which is the best XC bike from Morewood...the Zula or Kwela? Ding dong, I am also interested in the turning circle of the 29er, any feedback?
dingdong Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I am riding a GF super fly 100 , what i can tell you is the bike is Sublime! single track is better due to having more rubber on the ground , giving better grip , regarding the turning circle is exactly the same as my 26inch bike , the reason being is the circle is the same is because the measurements of the bike from front axle to rear axle is exactly the same length , which means its the same size as my 26 ". the down hill handleing of the bike is far better than my 26 " due to the increased wheel size , over all guys its the way forward , esspcially if you doing Sani2 c , JHB2c or Epic , or any multi day stage racing , imagine 10 % off your sani time or 10 % off your epic time ?? cant wait to see the results for myself

Giant Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Dingdong your surename Openheimer by any chance? Beautiful bikes what size are you riding, at 5'4" I inclined to believe that 29er might not be for me.
Regard Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 There was a dude with a black Zula at the Peacanwood race. Man what a sweet bike. I'm insanley jealous. You can buy me one for my birthday in little over 4 months time Seriously hope you get it!!! Was it maybe this one?all mine!!!!!
parabola Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Chumps ' date=' dont you get it ? it doesnt matter what it looks like ! if its not a 29er your loosing !! 29er is the only way 10 % more effiecent anyway you look at it !![/quote'] Could you explain to me how increasing your wheel size increases your efficiency? Unless a 29er defies the laws of engineering and physics in a way that I am unaware of.parabola2009-11-25 16:25:54
Regard Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 For Morewoodkid or anyone else in the know...What size seat post will a Zula take?I am asking because I have a carbon Easton post which is 39 mm in diameter.What is the (more or less) waiting period on a Zula? How much deposit is needed?I want to buy one for my birthday in a little over a years time and would like to know how long beforehand to put in an order.Thanks' date='Ray[/quote'] Hi Ray The seat post size is 30.9mm If you only going to buy next year there shouldn't be a waiting list and you shouldn't need a deposit. By next year they want to sell out of the dealerships, i.e. no waiting list, you go to the dealer and pic it up. For info on the frames phone Fritz Pienaar Cycles in Gauteng(they are dealers and I don't think there will be dealers in Limpopo) Or phone them directly at RushSports. Speak with Anrde or Travis p.s. You will not regret this one bit!!!!Forget all the bs about 29" etc, etc......(that is for small men that think it will help them look bigger on a bike)This is the most effiecent suspension bike I've ridden and the best looking in 100 years!!!!
Regard Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 And one more thing: DINGDONG-dude LEARN SOME MANNERS AND STOP HI-JACKING POSTS WITH YOUR 29er ISSUES!!!!! scream off again now.
wynandvdmerwe Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Nasty! But I agree. 29er's are for old guys anyway
Regard Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Nasty! But I agree. 29er's are for old guys anyway En Wynand weet! Glo hom maar!
Flowta Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 You know what would be a sweet ride? Zula with a 29er up front.
