[Closed] What longer travel 29er's are there out there

Ive run my Ti29 with 120mm 20mm thruaxle rebas but 30% ish of sag.

Needed to flip the stem and ought to go for lower rise bars to keep my nose down, but otherwise it handled very well in Luchon.

Now at 100mm (more suited to the frame I guess) but to be honest Im not sure it makes much difference.

Ive not seen any frames specifically for 120mm, but then Ive not been looking. Is that Chumba a big hitter then? I shall go and investigate..... 🙂

wow 😯

Nope, definately not seen anythign else like that! 🙂

No nor have i. Just wondered if any of the more experenced 29er riders, bike shop owners etc etc might know of anything out there that suited.

I do like the Chumba though 😕

Anyone else ❓

I'll take that as no then 🙄

Not that I've been looking, well maybe a little.

Cheers guys.

Like the Banshee and have a local dealer for them as well 😀

the chumba is on my to buy list...............and it could be sooner rather than later. 😉

Good deal from Broadiebikes then Ton 😉 😀

Although Chumba say 5" fork the geometry figures on the site are for a 100mm.

I'd be tempted to stick to 100mm. The BB is already 12.5 a longer fork is just going to raise it.

Well in that case martin it opens up the choice of available forks quite nicely 😀

I'm going custom steel build from a local frame builder.

Designed around the Reba Team Maxle @ 120mm, which for me is all the fork I need (my WB 135 is up for sale 😉 ), slacked out, short CS's, curved TT...

The Wolfhound is a gorgeous looker for sure, but is £2K 😯

This custom 853 is £400

I believe Brant was working on a longer travel 29er

I've got 29in versions of the Blue Pig and MmmBop on the drawing board at the moment, but things are backed up with first production run, twinklydave/terrahawks rigid 29er race bike, and the SS I decided I wanted the other day.

Doing a "proper" 29er fork to 69 the current models too though. Bit like Sam@Singular did with the Hummingbird.

Someone told me Aqua's frame weighs 9lb too? [img] [/img]

and the SS I decided I wanted the other day.

Go on then tell us about it. 😀

I suddenly feel a whole lot better

Go on then tell us about it.

Rode Dave's Kona and thought "ooh, I miss this" as I was up the front on all the climbs.

Working on something with EBB, short chainstays, slack seat angle, 26in w/140's or 29in w/rigid.

Steel for now. Essentially a Blue Pig front triangle with a different seat tube and back end on.

26in

Suddenly lost interest. 😉

Well get of tinternet then Brant as that new 29er Bluepig is no good to man nor beast on the drawning board 🙄 😉

Any idea if they will be going into production this year or early next ❓

Bonesetter - Whats a WB135 😕

Suddenly lost interest.

As the Blue Pig geared 26er will begat the Blue Pig 26er SS, so will the 29er begat the 29SS 😉

Drawing board is fine for now - need factory/agents concentrating on stuff, not confusing with too much at one time.

WB = White Brothers

so will the 29er begat the 29SS

Looks like sticking to robbing banks to pay for my 29er ss habit for a while longer then. 😉

Sorry for dragging this topic back, but I have a few HX2's available at £499, reduced from £599 if you are interested bigsi 🙂

Very. However the bank manager/credit card say's no till i have got rid of my BlurLT frame and paid off a few bits & bobs which wont be for a few months, guess I'll just have to take my chance 🙁

Cheers for the offer though 😉

chumbatastic.......................... 😉

Not [u]another[/u] new bike Ton 😀

If you decide to sell it let me know 😉

i could not resist, wanna buy a big stiffee 😯

No cheers Ton, I'm firmly in the 29er camp now 😀 .

Dibs on the Chumba if you don't like it though 😉

How about the Ragley Ti 29er are Lynskey busy at the moment?

I’d love one of them as my birthday present to my self. A 29er designed of a long fork with a lovely curved seat tube like the on-one would the dream machine for me! Crosses fingers and hopes
