[Closed] Pinnacle Ramin One

Anyone know if the standard fork will take a 29+ tyre - say a Knard on a Dually?

Thanks for that Gibbysrabbit. I've been toying with the idea for a while, but at £375 couldn't resist, I've just placed my order.

Cheez, a B+ 2.8" fits but there's not a lot of room. So I doubt a 3" will fit, if it does it won't be with any useful clearance.

Jamesco whilst you are here..

Will you be selling any of these as frames only? Had some six months back for stupid price. See you have the red and black but it frame and forks im after really.

Then its a toss up for this or wait for the 650b+ you showed last week!

Any more Ramin 6 frames in large knocking about?

HughStew thats exactly the same with me. The cheaper it got the less concerned I got about the colour!

Coomber, the frames we have now are the warranty back-up frames. We end up selling them off cheap which I think is a good sign. The Ramin 1 SS / 29 / B+ will be available as a frame and fork option but not sure when it'll arrive - not too far out but it's not in production just yet.

Clink - none left sorry, all gone online and I guess there will be a minimal cover for warranty stock until new frames arrive.

More Ramins coming? Mother of god...

Well, as they say, you can't keep a good man down. I know I said I was finished but now with a nice set of XFusion Trace:

(apologies for the poor pic)

Ramin One has just been reduced to £375, great deal at that price!
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/pinnacle/ramin-one-2015-mountain-bike-ec071312

2 months late, but was there a reason for the reduction? Looking at one of these now, and the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is the fact it was £75 cheaper recently, and may well drop again with the 2016 bikes coming out 😐

and may well drop again with the 2016 bikes coming out

Thanks for the info, James.

Hmmm...if the 2016 model isn't going to shove the price down anytime soon. Will hold steady and see if any other random discounts will appear, like they did in July.

Anymore news on the 650b+ bike Jameso?
Deciding between the Charge and this..

Also interested in the 650+, if its single speed it could be the perfect bike to use with my rohloff to make a more fun and comfortable rigid bike

avdave2, it is SS-able via an EBB, would need to check the dropout compatibility with a hoff adapter though.
cokie, it's due early in the new yr, will confirm soon. Looking promising on VFM vs the rest. Proper WTB rims and tyres, all Shimano, etc.

Thanks Jameso. That sounds promising! Timing works well too.
Will there be an Ramin 6 spec bike with 650b+ wheels (Sus forks, 1x11)?!

^ Yes, Iroko 650B top spec is XT 1x11 with Pikes.

Thanks jameso

Quick Q for James.

Are the rims on the 1 tubeless ready?

TLR rims? On a £500 bike? Don't expect much do you ..

: )

They are, Alex MD21s - just need tape and sealant.

Jameso,

You tease! I'm still pumped from a fantastic session at Cannock at the weekend on my Triggers Broom of a Ramin 4 (Reba RL, SLXed etc) and the bike you describe sounds right up my street....

The Ramin is a fantastic bike but employing the N+1 philosophy, I'm obliged to get yet another wheel size to complicate things.....

Don't expect much do you ..

I am only getting over the disappointment the rims are not carbon 😉

...thanks for the prompt answer, James.

Quick Q. What size rotors does the Ramin One come with?

180F 160R

Been looking at all these great bikes and pics of them - got me going. I'm off down Evans tomo to get one. Crickey, what a lot of bike for the £.

Just been on my 4 (basically now spec'd as a 5) round Cannock today. Absolutely flew around. A total riot!

These bikes are the best kept secret going as far as HTs go!

OK, got it. 1st got a L, then returned and swapped for XL - better for me. Parked up just next to my Kinesis ATR. Time for a pedal swap and a brake fix as the front pads rub like mad out of the shop...[img]C:\Users\Dell\Desktop\IMG_2821.JPG[/img]

Sorry tried to ad pic, but can't work out how to do it - doh.

Finally! Although now it's covered in mud...

Out today, the front chain retaining device got covered in mud. Can I just bung one of these on the crank and remove the device without doing or buying anything else? Thanks for any replies.

^ yup, it'll not be as reliable as with a clutch mech also but a good NW ring (they vary) will keep the chain on in most cases - consider removing a chain link or 2 if possible as the tighter mech tension will reduce bounce.

Thanks, appreciate that. Do you know who makes the 'good' ones?

Ah, decision made. Superstar has these rings on special today for £15!!! Today only apparently - so anyone who wants one get it now. No, I don't work for them. Use code 'SANTA7'
http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/i-o-chainring-narrow-wide-style.htm

Good idea with the narrow/wide. Did you remove the arm that extends out of the bottom bracket that the chain device is bolted too as well? Easy?

Hi
I just got the ring, which I have not fitted yet. Looking at the current setup, the crank will have to come off to remove it - at least that's what I think. Also, as the bracket (chain device)holds the crank out a bit, I assume will need to put on some BB spacers in place, so as to have same chain position. Ho hum...

I thought that arm part might be more hassle to remove than it's worth. Maybe a job for the dremel while the chainring is off, if the narrow/wide works ok - and next time the bottom bracket is out take it out completely and replace with a spacer.

Would be interested to hear how it goes

Jameso - any update on eta on the new Ramins?

Jameso - any update on eta on the new Ramins?

They're made .. ETA TBC, will check Monday. With one thing and another a few non-essential (I know, I was offended .. ha) production runs were pushed back but they're done, studio shot of the Ramin 3+ from a couple of weeks ago -

[img] [/img]

They're not on the Evans site yet though.

Cheers! :-). Don't suppose 29+ fits in the front? If not I wonder if a stooge/krampus fork on the front might work...?

I see the extra bottle bosses etc on the fork , is this the EBB version? ... I like the colour as well 🙂 .. rough prices yet ?
looking like my new bike packing bike 🙂

Clink, 29+ probably would fit, it's a 470mm fork. Not tried it though. You could use the EBB dropped down to offset some of the geometry change.

Stumpy, yes it's a split/clamp shell EBB. Shorten the rear end or position it up for B+, down for 29". Or SS it.
Wheels are QR non-boost for swapability with older stuff you may have and they're convertable to 12mm + 15mm thru if needed. £800 RRP, possibly less, TBC.
