Mendip fight club???

don't kneel on the plastic seat version…we have a split in ours because of this.

Tow bar mounted is the way to go

2-9 Kona kula supreme, rigid weighing in at a svelte 20.4lb.
First ride was last night. Well impressed

Had my first ride my new Kona Kula 2-9 tonight, SS set up with rigid forks weighing in total 20.4lb, FANTASTIC.

Not much difference overall to my Curtis whish is also SS rigid, apart from it rolls choppy roots a bit better.

All to do with how you set it up, and how you want it to react.

mate has one….surprisingly heavy for a SS

Middleburn and Sq taper all the way, spend the money on a first rate BB, ie Royce or Phil Wood, cranks for life

hopefully will get better bearing life compared to hope pro II.

front is 803 grammes, rear is 1042, conclusion Royce hub is heavy

mmm could be crap scales, will weigh again :?

Royce, so distinguished and sooooo loud, not so much of a light "click" but a reassuring "cluck"

should it not be called a "blingbred"?

Bare my ass in woolies shop window, like i promised in the last world cup

Had a king, mate had his about a month longer than me, his was showing signs of wear on non drive side in 3 months.
I have gone back to Sq taper royce with rs8 middleburns, no faff all out of the crap, 12 month warranty on bearings.

top end of Leigh woods??

Nothing wrong with my Curtis
:lol:

Sparky, I,m a mendip rider too, medusa all winter for me then on with Michelin XC AT 2.2 for the rest of the year on the front with an XC dry2 on the back of SS the rest of the time.

Worked for past couple of years for me, worth a punt atm from On-one as currently v cheap

Very similar to my Curtis SS, highly impressed with build and finish, only downer is rear facing slot on seatube.

All up though very well done

Send to argos for a new stay??

Colin, edit 3 posts back

And yourself scienceman, little bit of editing may save a trail

Not trying to be a miser

You might want to edit that off, reduce traffic flow as badgers is SSSI don't forget!!!

Rigid SS for me with semi-slick tyres, as much as poss strapped to frame, 1 bottle and light weight back pack

only for now, if things go the way they are currently, i'll be chasing you

Science…will still beat you up the hills , on tractors or not :-)

are 1 geared rigid big wheelers allowed???

JRA have 29er crest in stock now

either or if really dry, tend to use on the back more though, the tread flexes well enough to drive you through just about anything, I use an XC/AT 2.2 on the front of my rigid SS and find this is the best way for me

truly gopping

Oh how nice….tsk
(whispers) does Mrs Science know yet (coughs quietly so she doesn't hear)

Might have to get rid of my entry due to heart condition…keep an eye on here by mid july I should know

+1 for red cabling looking shit.
It's a Curtis, doesn,t need overdressing with garish colouring, the frame does the speaking.

get the codes, go to local engineers, cheapest way, I got 2 full rear sets for under £20

have a look on hope website

front or rear, axle or freehub?

waiting for granny ring, and handy if chain drops off with only small fingers

he's on flat bars or I would bring the stem down the stack

Pipedream sirius….where are they then, bit like the Loch Ness Monster…rumoured to exist but who has actually seen one, especially the new Ti version

yep on way home from work, 2 ambulance journeys and a couple of days in Bristol Heart infirmary, taking my time getting into the swing of things again, spent today building the boys new bike up, promised it since march so now he's almost a happy bunny, just need to bleed rear brake and were sorted.
