TyronLab Posted November 27, 2023 Share So happy I can finally throw a bike into this thread... My new-to-me Niner Air 9 RDO. It can do with a dropper at a later stage, but so far this bike is getting very close to that "is it a rigid MTB or a flat bar gravel bike?" sweet spot I enjoy. Very much an oddball, but absolutely love it. Gets off the line like a startled cat (even with the relatively aggressive Purgatory / Ground Control combo), and is surprisingly comfy off-piste. There's a 15t cog on the way, the current 34x20 I got it with will be used for hillier trails / dirt adventuring / Suikerbosrand. I successfully piloted 42x16 on 650Bs over Sylvia's pass, so I think 34x15 should be good for my daily riding.

Jewbacca Posted November 27, 2023 Share @TyronLab is that the AIR frame version with the EBB? I always wanted one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I'm really impressed with this frame. It's my first "high-end" one, and golly gosh it feels it. Niner's EBB system is really superior compared to the ones I've used on our tandem. Just need to get a torque wrench now, I am very slightly scared that the feeler-gauge I've been using so far isn't going to cut the mustard. I must say, the matte clear coat over raw carbon looks frikkin' awesome in the sun. Edited November 27, 2023 by TyronLab peetwindhoek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted one of those I recall doing a 24hrs of Oak Valley, and riding with Lance (Who was on a Air with the EBB, riding Single Speed and knocking off far too many laps for a normal human being) and at the tail of of the 24hr period, riding up to one of the a-frames and BUNNY HOPPING OVER it ... since then I can not look at those frames and not be in awe.

It's weird how often these types of bikes are just much more fun to grab and ride around than the big boutique bikes.
