nice bike andy... But the colours seem a bit mix and match 😉

you beat me to it Brant

Hi Lyons,

I like the contrast between the red parts and blue frame. (Had all the red shit prior to the new frame). Just need some new white Revelations to lighten it and make even more "mix & match"!!! 😆

Back in the day a single pivot bike only had one pivot 🙂

Top usage of "Back in the day" there sir!! 😆

Ade - filename says "sultandwaxlepath" - which would appear to be a Turner? Sultan with DW Link?

That Morewood is very sturdy looking, How does it climb as I assume it's great on the way down?

I think the I-drive's ride is down to taste , they have a bit of a dead feel to them but you can keep the power down whatever the terrain.
I used to run the bike with 5" Rockshox psylo forks that were 3.5 lb but putting the rc66's on transformed the way the bike rode/handled despite being twice the weight.

The bike is much more capable than me , I've chucked it off 4/5 foot drops with no problems and I weigh 15st (give or take a pie) I've had to replace the pivot bearings (£30 betd) and the lower shock bushing 3 times.

The main obstacle to riding my Ruckus over distance is weight anything over about 15 miles gets a bit wearing,it weighs nearly 38lb but everything on it is strong rather than light and as I mainly use the bike for freeride/downhill stuff this isn't a problem , I have a hardtail for xc duties.

Not a true single pivot as it works in conjunction with two others..

Joolsburger, the shova climbs well. There is very little bob and what bob there is is eliminated by propedal setting 1 for fire roads etc.
I took it to Cannock yesterday, on the downhill section which is cut up with big braking bumps it just swallowed it all. I've only had a Kona Caldera HT and a stumpy FSR in the past, however i've demo'd an Orange 5 twice and i found that to have quite a bit more bob up hill. I think this is due to the lower position of the pivot on the 5.

The shova is slightly heavier than my stumpy but is soooo much stiffer and plusher downhill. (I realise they're designed for different purposes-STW)

The Singletrack issue 44 had a good review which comments on the pivot positioning and lack of pedal induced bob.

i really should take some outdoor pics...

Thanks Andy, contemplating a new frame (maybe) and currently that's top of my list.
