On Behalf of MrTall

That's a shame. I think that's what you're up against. Perhaps we need to exhaust that option 1st?

Ha Ha Ha :D

2 options – find a friendly dealer or get someone over there to buy for us (if we need to get around a Spesh dealer policy) and then send on, which involve various options again

21% – wrong

9.5% duty/vat on a £770 Big Mama on top of shipping of £57 which included a fork of £348. UK frame price £1400

I like the look of those Spesh's ton – fancy a group buy?

I would add the Fire XC Pro to your consideration, for running in the rear.

FORGET EVERYTHING you may know about the 26" version. The 29er is great in the present conditions (in my area – mud, loamy, leafy mulsh, roots, hardpack, woods)

I haven't ridden a GF, but most of their preceding offerings, inc 26" have all had flex and breakages. The new ones seem as if this has been addressed, a little at least.

I like GF's innovative approach and not following the rest – G2, slacker angles (which many are doing now), working with Fox to come up with the new rear shock, ABP – it all looks good to me.

But! For all GF's gizmo's I would never sell my no frills single pivot Lenz. Until someone comes up with HTA less than 69 deg and chain stays less than 17.3" I'm stayin' with it :D

Hey John. Very nice (ignore the haters). Although must say my preference is for the red/black :wink:

Look forward to a ride report , esp on rear shock performance (DRCV) and any need for propedal

Stu – sorry, really no idea at all for an answer – only looking

Can't someone post up the rest of the quality report

The HiFi almost won the mtbr top award for '09

Personally I wouldn't mind a Rumblefish, but beggars can't be choosers

Who's it made by?

Kermit Green is my fave Niner colour – very nice

Had an Air 9 for the weekend a while back – it rocked. Climbed extraordinarily well. Very fast bike :D

I always thought wide riser bars and riser stem was a nono

Is that what Turner say is the sasquatch size?

Yep, ebay £20 ones are the way to go

Super very bling brill nice!

Agree with the short HT's on 29er's

Tell us about the efficient pedaling

That's a very good bargain price. The ordinary Sealskinz IIRC called outdoor gloves or something like are slightly better (tried both on) but cost a bit more (~£30)

Both are fine – not too warm but wind resistant and well breathable

Sealskinz

Thanks for digging it up :-)

A cinch to maintain, can always be 'fixed' easily when it plays up (once you have understood how it works, which is very basic).

Transformed my riding completely

Get the remote

My attempt failed at bleeding my Formula's – first brake I've tried bleeding.

I didn't realise you had to pull on the syringe (a few times) and create a vacuum to 'pull' the trapped air bubbles out of the lever (and the calliper).

Thing I'm still not sure on is when to close the lever, if this is indeed needed on Formulas, as I have also read the lever needs to removed to bleed the lever properly…???

MrNutt – Member

if you do a search of the forum I did a step by step guide to bleeding formulas, its dead easy!

Hey Mr Nutt, searched but couldn't find your bleeding review. Could you post a linky, cheers

Al, the inclination meter does not use gps

Brilliant, just what I was after, thanks :D

Hey Spacemonkey I haven't been able to sync with outlook for a while (HTC sync says sync failed due to calander file missing)

I'l look into your dropbox recommendation, thanks

Here's a close up

I've heard the sliders can creak and slip.

The Paragon's I'm looking at are on the Nimble 29er

Hey kieth, cool app thanks

Has anyone found an angle finder (like the i-phone app) where you can measure angles, like a HTA on a bike frame?

I wasn't aware of the battery savings. I'm grateful for that

X10 looks nice – similar size to HTC. i-Phone is a little too big?

Paul (owner) is Jim's son I'm pretty sure.

Anyone you speak to there has their finger on the pulse

Good tips thanks.

Apps I've installed so far are mytracks, barcode reader (identifies product and then returns info on cheapest online and local source). Shazam, and google skymaps and layar

If I hadn't got my Paradox I would be straight on a steel Nimble 9 for sure. $550

Hope also said they had no plans to supersede the Vision 4 as 900 lumens was enough for any light :roll:

It's pretty good as a bar light – I have one for sale as it goes :wink:

Looks as though they're going to be a better bet than the Kodiak, which is strange looking tyre

Nice

Short and tucked in at the rear for a good balance (are the CS's ~17 & a bit inches?)

Steepish on the HA though

How are you finding it?

Is your chain off at the front?

Could be the alignment of the locater pin. Have changed the position the collar at the base by screwing both ways. This is critical to allow the pin to locate properly and 'drop' into its hole

He's showing off now

Mind you, I think he's allowed to

Ah John, stop winging – that's but a mere scratch – get on that bike and give us all the juicy review details, especially that carbon fork :-)
