how heavy are they normally built up mine feels like in dragging a tank around ive tryed to go lightish on it but its horrible suspention may need setting up properly if it makes any difference? but its got nixon elite?forks dtswiss xcm180 wheels hayes stroker trail/carbon brakes,skinny paneracer cindercone 1.95tyres so i doubt there going to be slowing me down fulls sh1t and makes me want to sell it and buy a nice hardtail... 😯
i had cinders and found them to be really draggy!!
yeh but from tioga factory dh tyres there like road tyres!
Exactly why I went back to a hardtail
nah i dont agree with that ,
ive just come from a real nice spec 456 hardtail to a spesh enduro and apart from going up hills i find it quicker all round and inspires me to go faster!!
have you got the shocks set up properly??
it would be nice if i could afford a nice hartail for allround purposes and a fr/dh bike to go out with the big boys... but oh well
what shock on pitch??? i heard the standard x fusion one is pump!!
the x fusion on it on the pitch comp this is the pitch pro with a fox rp2 shock
suspention may need setting up properly if it makes any difference?
What do you reckon? If the rear shock is set too soft for you it will feel really wallowy.
I weigh 16 stone, I'm not very fit, and mine still has a silly 1.3kg dual ply high roller on the back from an alps trip - I can still ride it up mountains in the Lakes no problem.
Dunno why you would get a big bike like a Pitch and stick skinny tyres on it though.
cos it drags like a b1tCh with anything slightly taky on it
Sounds like you bought the wrong bike.
I ride a 28lb '08 Enduro SL and I clean way more climbs than I've ever done before on any FS, or HT
proberly just me then... 🙄
btw only left skinny tyres on because i used it for a "race" which i wanted somthing faster rolling on
is it your first full susser then taka??
if so it could be that you just need to get used to it!!!
brakes arent binding are they??? 😀
my enduro is currently at abut 38lbs with the draggy downhill tyres on!!
cant wait to get some normal tyres on it!!
nope ive had a orange patriot,orange sub 5,trek fuel,norce 6.2 and now this
Have you set up the rear shock for your weight with the right amount of sag?
My rear tyre is SuperTacky and while when I change it I will put something faster rolling on it really doesn't feel that bad for pedalling. How long rides are you doing on it? If you want to do big 50 mile epics on it it's probably not the right bike, but for 35k round the Lakes with 1200m or so of climbing, or messing about on a DH track, or riding in the Alps, it's great fun for me.
i do stw rides do vairys depending on who's running them go out riding with mates on small 25mile rides some races and some local nightrides and some trailcenters

I'm maybe after a medium Pitch and live down in Bingley, so don't sell it before speaking to me.
I have an Ellsworth moment medium to sell/trade. Both frame and shock are fully working and in good condition.
