Guest Posted May 5, 2010 Share Maybe it is the way the first photo of the DH bike was taken, but the front wheel looks a lot smaller than the back wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted May 5, 2010 Share The backwheel def looks like a 29 but i dont know theres something that just looks off to me on that bike. It doesnt quite look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adogshow Posted May 5, 2010 Share i agree. it looks way off proportion...pity they had to tie the brake line with cable ties. silly thing but it bugs me to have to do that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostface Posted May 5, 2010 Share Very nice. Morewood is doing some great things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoe Posted May 5, 2010 Share looks too XC-ish for a full DH rig... the geometry looks off - maybe right witha 26'er on the back??? (if that's a 29er) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_im_from_earth Posted May 5, 2010 Share looks too XC-ish for a full DH rig... the geometry looks off - maybe right witha 26'er on the back??? (if that's a 29er) its just the angle, rear wheel is a 26" and the head angle is regular 64deg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_im_from_earth Posted May 5, 2010 Share i agree. it looks way off proportion...pity they had to tie the brake line with cable ties. silly thing but it bugs me to have to do that.... thats what happens when you are your own team mechanic and have to build your bike the night before Sea Otter begins...

HowellingWulf Posted May 5, 2010 Share Hey morewoodkid, any idea if Patrick is planning on doing a 29ner Zula anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_im_from_earth Posted May 5, 2010 Share Not in the short-tem... 29er Kwela will come first As this stage we are not certain whether we will offer a 29er Zula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
