My new 29er

[Brian Fantana]

So after almost three years of riding single speed 29er I decided to change my geared bike to 29er as well.

 

Nothing special about this build, everything is pretty much standard, only the Blackspire Super Pro double chainring setup is not standard.

 

Have done about 600km on the bike over the last two weeks, and no problems so far, very comfortable ride.

 

Will do a review on the bike after I took her on her debut race, Transbaviaans.

Nice ride. What size frame is that?

[Brian Fantana]

16" frame, I am between medium and small with most bikes and usually end up taking the smaller frame.

Snap, I also normally go for the smaller frames. Enjoy the bike. I'm long overdue a 29er.

You did 600km's over the last two weeks? Think I did that much since april on my mtb

nice, very similar build to mine - what size chainrings did you go for - I put 26/36 on my XT crank....

[Brian Fantana]

Hi Rock, I have 38/26 chainrings with 11-34 cassette. I can ride about 48km/h @ 100rpm in my highest gear and this weekend I was able to spin up a real granny gear climb in my lowest gear without any issues.

Did the same with mine!

[Brian Fantana]

Did not weigh the bike, should be just over 11kg. To be honest, I have only weighed a bike once in my life, that was in a shop, before buying it.

Also going to build a light weight wheelset for racing. Still deciding or rims & hubs.
