[Closed] The Let's See Your 29er Hardtails/ Rigids Thread

@danw Thanks, so far its proving to be a great ride 🙂 The fork is an On One/Planet X carbon I picked up new from eBay.

@simondbarnes

Really like those photos in the Lakes, bike too.

Some of the niche tat I’ve owned in the past before I came to my senses.

What are the bikes in the last two pictures? Best niche tat I’ve seen in ages. I’m tempted to sell my full sus and go rigid. A Krampus, El Mar or Stooge to cover everything from commuting through to peak riding.

Both of them are Blacksheep.
Both went on to be owned by different people from the forum.
The one with the extra tube is a Highroller and the other a Highline.
The Highroller was one of the worst handling bikes I've ever ridden.😱

Oh, go on then.

Finally got round to building up my SS Scandal...

Good looking bike. On-One were mad to discontinue it.

Awful photo but I can no longer resist posting my DIY repaired Chinese carbon 29er with recent changes for Beastway race series like Racing Ralph 2.1, 105 carbon SPD SL (yes really), removed mudguards and 2nd bottle cage etc. I've also got an ZTTO SLR2 cassette (-125g) waiting to go on and a 310g asymmetric Chinese carbon rim as an experiment (-145g), which is wider and will hopefully be stiffer for monster power delivery (haha jk)- with a lighter hub (pro 4 or DT 350) and DT revs I'm aiming to shed 600g from the rear wheel after going tubeless and replacing the xt rotor with an ashima ai2. I'll also go tubeless on the front but probably won't splash out on another carbon rim. Seems hard to go lighter after that without seriously sacrificing rideability or longevity.

Genesis High Latitude here, fitted with slackerizer, longer fork, dropper, Hans dampf. Fastest and most fun hardtail I have ridden

Mine:

Bargain bin build, it has convinced me I like 29ers though but also (as per my thread the other day) that I maybe want a bit of tail end bounce...

really loving this
