We have plans for this.
Great stuff, I'll keep an eye out.
Brant what's the wheelbase on a large frame?
1185mm
Ta and the bb height?
Ta and the bb height?
35mm drop from centres
will it be reviewed by any magazines? be interesting to read an independent review. (still waiting to see a review of the c456 evo)
looks great by the way, possibly best looking 29er i have seen.

Thanks for the nice words. I think there are a few journalists looking for a ride on one.
Any reason the full build comes with the single compound "enduro" tyre up front and dual compound "trail extreme" on the rear? Rather than the other way round as is usually the norm

Chunky Monkey up front.
Dual Compound Smorgasbord on the rear.
I'm not in the market for a new bike at the moment, but have to say that it looks like you've done a great job on this. Incredible spec for the money and looks well thought out overall. I even don't mind that it comes with Avid brakes - I've had Elixir CRs on my bike for the past three years and they've been faultless.
If it was available in XL and a raw finish, it would be even better. 😉

i had a look at this at the london Bike Show and i must admit i failed to realise it was a 29er. sadly i'd just bought a new bike, otherwise i'd be buying this now. amazing looking thing, just looks "right"
Brant,
Any plans for any stores down south in the future?
Cheers!
[i]Any plans for any stores down south in the future?[/i]
No.
Northern bikes for Northern folk. 🙂
Got one in Scotlandshire though, for the Yorkshire exPats.
If only it was an inch longer, still might have a drive down to look at one.

Shame, I imagine in a couple of prime locations (brum, London, etc) they would do quite well with your killer pricing?
Might make it easier for me to give one a spin too.... Sheffield is a good 3 hours or so from me!

Might make it harder to offer such killer pricing though, I imagine. At least there is the option to see (and ride) a physical bike, unlike the mailorder-only companies.
Er... "b r" isn't me. Or anyone from our company.
Stores around the country, like we just rolled out in Edinburgh, yes, part of the plan.

How tall are you?
Brant, I didn't notice the different name tbh, I blame the beer.
Good to know you are on the case!
And ash, I'm sure the overheads will be different but for the cyclist who knows what they are after and at a decent price I imagine they would flock in...(says the man with little retail experience...!)
Brant:
Colours are blue or white. Both with Orange decals.
That's understood - the question is will OnOne go with the other colors Brant you have mentioned in another thread - orange and raw? Some (planned) day? Or is it all for now?
Also for the frame-set and bikes - will OnOne have lower speced options (like monarch, revelation, etc)?
Brant - would you reveal also if stock volumes are sufficiently large so that there is anything to be ordered in May, considering the current rate of purchases? Just give me a hint, please 😉
(Just registered so hello everyone! Registered only because of Codeine :D)
somouk - MemberThe spec looks good apart from the Avid brakes
X0 Trail brakes. Entirely different from the Avid brakes people moan about (though probably haven't ridden with Avid brakes in years). They've been getting very strong reviews comparable with, if not exceeding XT. Indeed the range is now being replaced by the same 4 pot calliper design.
mattjg - MemberI got burned when I bought a SRAM crankset with odd BCD (I didn't know better, they should have), then I wore out the rings and couldn't get replacements, the cranks had to come off and go in a box, they're still there. Thanks for that.
You can changed the spider on most SRAM cranks to sensible BCD.
Re the brakes - Avids are brilliant when box fresh, it's 3 months in when changing pads that they drive you up the wall.
Hateful things.
Btw great vid, it's the first 29er i've actually wanted to ride.

We are evaluating a build with Sektors and Monarch.

It is selling well. I couldn't tell you right now at what point we'll sell out.

This is your experience with Avid X0 Trail Brakes?
No but 2 sets of Avid.
If they are sorted then that's good obviously, personally 2 bad experiences of one brand is enough to deter me from a third purchase.
No.

Lmfao (from the comfort of my Yorkshire located sofa).
Do we know when are the frame onlys going to be available?

It's the same Early May as the bikes. Earlier for the first people after an medium sized one.
deadkenny - MemberX0 Trail brakes. Entirely different from the Avid brakes people moan about (though probably haven't ridden with Avid brakes in years). They've been getting very strong reviews comparable with, if not exceeding XT.
And also some reviews saying "They're amazing when they work, which is almost often enough"
Is the size guide right then. I'd normally go for an 18" But it recons if you're over 5' 10" you're going to need a large (20") un?
I think that size guide needs attention. That's odd that.
I ride an 18in but should probably be on a 20. I'm 6'1"
Thanks for responses.
brant

But you want to say - you're fine with 18"?
Is there anytjing special with a head-set or any tapered internal will fit?
Are there any more pics of the blue frame kicking about yet?
The video was awesome 🙂 looks like a great value bike but probably not for me at 5'9" ish!
I always worry about standover in 29ers as my inside leg is 29" and like quite a low standover on my bikes as it is.
I do feel a lot of issues with Avid, outside of bleeding (half of that is down to the user, but X0 Trails are supposed to solve the old issues that lead you to thinking you need to bleed it anyway), is...
Pads
Avid pads seem to be a lot of the cause of Turkey Gobble and such things people complain about but from experience and other posts I've read third party pads can be better. Or at least switching from the sintered to Kevlar. I bulk buy Superstar Kevlar pads, and you can get four of them for these price of one Avid and they feel and sound so much better than the sintered. Wear out a bit quicker, but the four will last longer in total.
"They're amazing when they work, which is almost often enough"
+1
My first pair, worked for a week, then started just pulling back to the bars, bled them repeatedly according to the instructions, gave up and sent them back to fishers, they came back with a note with words to the effect "incorect bleed procedure used by customer, warrenty void, fixed by goodwill". And you guessed it, same as before.
Second set, exactly the same as the first, but after many attempts (not bothering wasting time with Fishers again) they seem to work now.
Only they pump up when left for a few months, the lever was completely solid and they need some fluid draining out.
They may be 'as good as Shimano' when they work. But WTF is the point of that, they're brakes, I don't want brakes that 'might work as well as the ones on the other bike, or might not work at all', I want to pull the lever and stop in a reasnoble distance. I can ride arround weak brakes, but occasional brakes is impossible!
I think that size guide needs attention. That's odd that.
While you're at it have a look at the fireline guide - there's a 19.5" and a 21" guide, but that doesn't apply when there's only a 20" option
5'9" perfect on a 16.
Depends on the person's body shape, owning an 18" Fireline (at 5'10") I need a layback post and a 70mm stem to make it work at all for me - couldn't get any weight over the front wheel otherwise - so should probably be on the 20" - the codeine isn't THAT much longer

Sounds like a riding style thing too.
I'm very tempted by one of these .. Been looking around for few months now and this
Is at top of the list ... Trying a few bikes out at w/end too ..
The proof will be in the pudding as ever... Comparable spec from the big brands are 4k upwards 🙁
Begs the question of how much we're getting our pants pulled down ?

Great, I'm 6ft so have ordered the large frame as I sit smack in the middle of your sizing guide. Am I now to believe that I should have ordered a medium?

I shall be contacting everyone that ordered one from us tomorrow with huge thanks, and an updated size recommendation.
I'd put you on a medium.
Sorry.
Looks good, what an XL size for a 6'5" bloke with extra long arms!
1" more reach, same size seat tube would be good 😉

Thanks Brant, Yes looking at the size guide in more detail and measuring as many body parts in the office without looking a total div, I think i too need the medium and not the large. It's the standover height that does it for me. Is 830mm for the medium frame correct?
