New Blue Pig (pics)

" do tend to keep the weight off the front wheel on descents, but that's to make it easier to lift it over stuff"

Yeah that is the way to keep you eyeballs in when it get rocky – happy days! I think it helps to have a big plush fork with lots of sag to be that aggressive.

Sorry Brant,the comment was for sohara.Lost the thread of the thread!

This is my beast, i've put a link to it as i have no clue of how to put pics on here????? 🙂

Making Brrrrapppp brrraaaaappp Bultaco noises when I ride it seems to help.

Im having the same problem using the blue hope seatclamp, does not hold the seatpost correctly at all, just ordered a Ragley one. The FSA seatpost are $hite as well, two rides and its already pretty silver in parts!! Apart from that, loving the pig so far.

yay, ragley cheeky saddles arrived…getting rid of the Da Bomb one, bl00dy uncomfy…also the cap ends of the ragley grips keep coming off!! Any ideas how to fix? Tightened them as much as possible, but still easy to pull off.

not had a problem with my grips and they have had a few bashes, which grips? Mine are the skinny ones, i have some half waffle ones too but haven't used them yet though.

Could it be your bars? I've had bars be too thin for lockons to get a grip (one pair of eastons i had). Solution was a bit of leccy tape under the end of the grip round the bar, enough thickness to make it work.

Here's my Pig to add into the mix.

As others have said, it does need to be ridden a bit differently. On the first few rides I did think / worry I was more over the bars than usual and not moving back, but then realised that it was because I didn't need to move so far back. I also find it very easy to pop the front up despite being a bit more 'over the bars'.

Cool I will give this a go, I am running a pair of Kore Torsion bars…

"I also find it very easy to pop the front up despite being a bit more 'over the bars'. "
I actually find it a bit harder to pop the front than my previous Chameleon even with dropping down 20mm to a 50mm stem.

I think its a bike you need to man up to a bit and show it who's boss, get over the front moto style and wring its neck sorta thing knowing the slack head angles working in your favour.

tjr666 the ragley seat-clamps are really good, and just work 🙂
