That looks rather tasty.
Like that 😀
Looks ace.
I think (and hope!) there's still room for long travel 29ers. I bloody love that bike (it's mine, but Chay nicked it cos it's so fast) but we're both 6ft 3in and fit it really well. I can't see us packaging a 29er down to a small size, so there's scope of other wheels to make things fit properly for different people.
I was riding my trusty 26" prototype no1 on Saturday and loved every single second of riding it.
I hope you weren't annoyed by me posting the 29er. It wasn't my intention to distract people from the 26", but I guess many (myself included) are waiting to see what happens with the new production, before committing.
Actually, on that note Cy - I've been trying to get a demo of a Rocket 26" (M), but struggling.
Do you know of any around? Don't mind travelling (I'm in the peaks).
Cheers!
Cy is it 150 or 160mm front and back? Would look great next to my Solaris.
150 Rear (at the moment) 140-160 front, you're choice.
Alex, we have a medium demo at Cotic. If you can get down to Calver on a Thursday afternoon you can take it for a spin for a bit. Drop us an email.
How do you find those wheels Cy?
Stiff enough for the job?
Thanks Cy - email sent. Looking forward to it!

I couldn’t agree more. I love my long travel 29er. 160mm forks, 145mm rear travel, low BB, handles great, and at 6ft 2” it feels more suited to me than any of my 26” wheeled bikes.
I would love a wee shottie on one, but unfortunately I’m up in Aberdeenshire so I doubt there will be any up this way unless I can persuade one of my mates to buy one.
james_turk - The I9's are stiff as old boots. Brilliant for 29ers. The rims are nice and wide too.
Cy, stop yapping on here and go weld up some 26" Rockets!
:-p
