But at the moment we're taking a little time out to think over how sensible a carbon 29er 140mm long travel hardtail actually is...</blockquote></p> <p>Makes a lot of sense. You can get around a lot of the problems associated with cramming big wheels into a compact package. I've got absolutely nothing against getting cheap composite parts made out in the East as the quality is very good and it does let more people benefit from the technology but it would be interesting to see if some of the new cutting edge methods could be used here to reduce UK build costs. </p> <p>Few people on here who may be able to point you in the right directions including myself. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3496294 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:37:24 +0000 Rickos 3496294@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Interesting...<br /> I'm 5'10".</p> <p><blockquote>So what’s our conclusions on The Brigante and long travel 29ers?</p> <p>You could say Jim’s a better rider than me, which he undoubtedly is and therefore could control the bike. But I think the answer to our different experiences on The Brigante lies more in the size of the rider and how comfortable that rider feels on a long travel 29er.</p> <p>For example I’m 5’10” and I’ve been riding XC 29ers for almost a year now and I’ve never felt like the bike is too big. But when you add 140mm of travel and then take that bike on terrain that demands quick handling, the bike simply becomes too much to control for a shorter rider. If however, you’re a bigger rider (over 6′) then it’s not a problem you get a win win, all the benefits of a 29er and it handles like a normal bike.</blockquote></p> <p>Taken from the Mountains link above. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3495806 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:27:09 +0000 Rorschach 3495806@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>@drjon .You're only for Am29ers because you have the nicest one.....ever (jealousy mode off). </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3495757 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:16:55 +0000 chewkw 3495757@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Something wrong with the snake like downtube ... hmmm ... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3495747 Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:12:33 +0000 messiah 3495747@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>First reviews from the Kingdom folks themselves up online...</p> <p>Trails - <a href="http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=1458" rel="nofollow">http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=1458</a></p> <p>Mountains - <a href="http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=1466" rel="nofollow">http://www.kingdombike.com/TheKingdom/?p=1466</a></p> <p>Interesting. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3442050 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 14:53:01 +0000 dRjOn 3442050@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>dt bends: you may find it is about construction ease...and clearance. if you have a muckle downtube, where it intersects the bb shell and seat tube (st bent as it is, coming in here nearer vertical) would potentially be a complex compound miter with a dt that will wrap a fair way around the bb shell and seat tube. if its bent to approach the bb shell at nearer horizontal, you get less chance of a difficult join. at the head tube end, you're probably looking at fork knob clearance. even with a gusset and fair bit of head tube extension, due to the relatively steep angle a dt makes on a hard tail 29er/long travel fork, you will find the fork crown gets mighty close to the dt sometimes. and again, it may help the miter...</p> <p>just a thought. </p> <p>im all for 29er ti am hardtails :-)~ </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/29er-am-titanium-hardtailness/page/2#post-3378540 Sat, 14 Jan 2012 15:55:52 +0000 bonesetter 3378540@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>The DT/HT/ST junction looks a heck of alot stronger with that design</p> <p>Personally, I like the swoop </p>
