here you are lol
how you find the Ardents on the Soul ? I have a new pair hanging up to go on mine, but can't bring myself to take the Spesh Purgatory's off it !
I think they are great , they give you good confidence on the down hills since get are 2.25 and grip well and they roll well too so I'm happy
must get a fat bike !
richie - what forks you got on that Soul ?
@ iainc , they are rock shox recon gold rl which I bought off merlin in the sale , they are quite good but get out of shape on really rocky stuff like the peaks. I do have a set of x fusion velvets to go on soon . They are 120mm in travel ๐
cheers Richie - I remembered you mentioning velvets in an old post when I was speccing out my Soul, hence the question ! I have run with velvets for a few months and in process of changing to Reba's, still at 120
Not so keen on the Velvets then iainc? What's making you swap to Reba's?
My lapierre didn't qualify for super bike. So it must qualify for this

Not so keen on the Velvets then iainc? What's making you swap to Reba's?
Quite like the Velvets, but they are currently being warrantied for creaky steerer and got a deal on new Reba's which seem to be rated as being as good/better. It's likely that I'll put the velvets on the classifieds when they come back from importer with new steerer, crown and stanchions.
Oh, and the picture :
@iainc , yes I remember now ๐ I have swapped from a small soul to a medium and the difference is huge ! the medium has a longer top tube and I can fit a short stem which has improved handling too . My velvets had to go back for warranty as I was only getting half travel ! The soul is a fantastic bike for raging round the woods !
My lapierre didn't qualify for super bike. So it must qualify for this
As I can only see a picture icon square I presume that your Lapierre doesn't qualify for the "rag around the woods " bikes either ๐
Seen a few times on here over the past couple of weeks....

Woods were a bit wet when I took that photo ๐ It's a fab bike for ragging round the local woods tho in any conditions.

Brocton woods...amazing place
@ dc11 how do you find your soul with 140mm forks , going to scotland next weekend and might try some ?
Use a few, all ridgid for here in East Lothian as all we need and low maintenance.
I built another Karate Monkey, ISON`s ex demo frameset and its fun, slacker headangle with a Works Componants headset
2x9 with 750 bars for throwing it about, fun cheap bike ๐

Wee build and launch film ๐
And ripping some local singletrack...
The gears are being nicked off the Monkey and it will go SS for winter as needed to go on another creation, after i was given a SS Krampus offset wheel set for a Pugsley from Tyler from SURLY after Forth Fat...
Two similar bikes but quite differant

This thing rocks on trails, faster rolling on the 3" Knards and lower pressures give more grip and comfort, a noticable lot more, BB height is an inch higher than a standard Pugsley with these wheels so i can drop it ok and fit 29x2.25 mud tyres for winter (The Knards are awful in mud being a dry dust tyre)
be fitting the steel Jones fork soon too adding to the freakness
and with 2x9 gears it will make a versatile and fun machine ๐
Wee build film of the SURLY "KramPug"...
Some local trails...
Bikes that make you smile when you ride them is what it is all about, the KramPug it ticking all the right boxes this now ๐

Nice ๐
Good showing of Cotic's in this thread. Still hasn't made my decision between orange or black for a rocket any easier though.
Here's my run about...

My pair of scales, both superbikes in my eyes, more than capable of smashing up the local woods!!
It's darker in the woods, so my bike is less ugly:
