Please.

Thanks, Cant decide what hardtail to get and want some inspiration.

Cheers and thank you

you'll decide from looking at other peoples? 😕

just wanted to see what a hard tail looks like with a 36 on?

sorry 🙁

GW in 'sarcastic non helpful shocker'…. 😉

can't imagine it myself 🙄

Cotic BFe would work I reckon…

Here goes, On One 456 with 150mm Talas 36's:

thanks,
looks good, do you find the forks a struggle ever? thinking drop mine down to 130 and get a decade virtue.

anymore people?

NOT mine, but it does make me want an NS Surge quite badly!

Found on Pinkbike the other day, when I was looking for pics of the Surge…

Never a problem with the forks, though I do use the talas on steep/long uphills – but I think it helps been tall (long arms/legs), I can really ride the 'front'

120 seems to be the sweet spot for the kenesis decade, personaly I went for revelations with maxel at 120mm.

Over half a kg in differnce, not to mention the price gap!

Seem to remember it was a bit crap to ride, but looking at the photos I can see why 🙄 (way too many stem spacers for a start!)

What a lot of pointless overbiked choppers

Seem to remember it was a bit crap to ride, but looking at the photos I can see why (way too many stem spacers for a start!)

How long ago did you get rid of that Kit? I remember selling you that frame all the while back! I was tempted to build it up myself, but needs musted at the time, so I had to pass it on to pay for other things…

Really? Wow! I didn't remember who I bought it from. I sold it on about 3 years ago and replaced the frame with a Reign. Didn't really get on with it, but it did introduce me to longer travel 🙂

That's Matt Letch's bike, more pictures in various issues of Singletrack Mag.

how easy would it be to drop my 36 van r's to 130? im liking the idea of hardcore singlespeed decade virtue/virsa

i've seen people cut springs and replace with spacers. how does that work though?

I don't think it's particularly easy to mod the Vans (or really a great idea myself)…

Worth a try asking on southerndownhill forum..
