Wow! That is a bargain.
I’m not going to buy one , but that is certainly a great price.

Hi Trout
I’m aware the Puffin is not really 29+ compatible .
I tried a Dirt wizard in there and its tight at the chainstay brace 4mm at closest.
I have a pair of used Dw’s I picked up, the plan was to try them out in there, if I liked the Dw in the rear (ooh er!) I’d consider grinding the mid section of the brace to allow more clearance.
I believe the Dw is on the smaller side of plus, so wouldn’t expect to get a chronicle in there.
I should really have a go on some 27.5+ and 29+ bikes to give me a feel for it.

I’m interested in this also.
Hope now one minds me posting this here as
It’s close to topic , I didn’t want to start another thread.
I also have a puffin mk1 and love it for most of my riding,
Though I’m pondering a second set of wheels,
Either 29″ with dirt wizards ,2.5 minions
Or 2.4 Goma tnts on 30-35id rims
Or go down the 27.5 plus route
With something like 3″ tire on 40id rims
Quite a few options out there now,but a stumbling block for me is the excessive prices
of some of the plus tires, I’m looking at you Maxxis!
Just wondered if anyone had any experience of doing a similar thing and how it turned out?

Really nice!

I run my puffin with an surly ICT fork (47mm offset)
Seems to ride really nice , although I’ve not ridden it with the original forks for reference .
I also ran an oo Fatty with a salsa 47mm offset and found that fine too

What!
Today’s offer on superstar

Is there any chance that someone with a medium and a tape measure could verify
The stand over height ?
The spec measurement appears to be very high!

I’m also interested in anyone experience with the cod 29 as I’m on the cusp
Of ordering the frame.
Cheers

Thanks Woodster!

I assumed that Duncan’s yes was to the Maxle question !
Anyone know for sure?

Many thanks

Yeah , that does seem a plus, having only ever owed a barn door Vito, I
Was looking at a tail gate version next time with that point in mind!

As the Vito comes with dual sliding door as standard,
this is a plus for the Vito as I’ll be buying secondhand.
Legend ,
Whats the benefit of the tail gate over barn doors?

I have an 02 Vito, it’s been a very reliable van over the 10 years I’ve owned it.
Rust is really getting the better of it now.
I’ll be in the market for a replacement soon, I will look at both dualiner and kombi.
I think the Vw has more comfy seats, should that sway me? Don’t know!
Slightly prefer the vw looks , but like the dual doors on the Merc.
Feel perhaps better the devil you know , mechanically the Vitos been
Sound, with only one break down last year , the dreaded stuck in injectors!
Metallic paint seems to help with the rust, so I’ll definitely go with that next time.

Hi

I currently run 2 x 10, 22-34 front and 11-36 cassette
Would be good to achieve as near to that bottom gear as pos,
Does anyone know who does 28t narrow wide?

Ok, thanks ruffride,
Cb I am hoping to get these converted as they are nearly ideal, having 20mm
Maxlelite and tapered steerer.
I am running them on a Bfe mk3, just want them a bit longer and a bit more shorterer
for climbing.

The user manual didn’t seem to give me the info I need.
Has anyone done this conversion, or similar?
The other thing is how can I tell if this model can go longer?

Thanks Mike I’ll give that a go

5’10 medium bfe (same geometry) 70mm stem, 750mm bars.

I have a Voodoo wanga as pic above in medium for sale cheap .
Find my email in my profile if of interest

Absolutely recommend dmr revolver for good value and very quiet
Bought a rear 8-9 years ago, as a cheap alternative to hope.
Done a lot of winter rides, no maintenance , only just now,
could do with fresh bearings as they are sounding a bit dry/rough.

Thanks jonk
Just thought it worth asking.
Cheers

i have owned an 02 for 8years, has a fair bit of rust yes, but mechanically sound

Really like the look of that.
What size frame is it?

Anyone?!

think it had a fifth ele

cheers for that, just need the stroke length for sure , thought it may be 50mm
cheers

Oops
now in classifieds

Thank you everyone for your help, still leaves me unsure, i currently run coil pikes on the heckler, i do like the way they work with minimum maintenance. Agreed they do seem to get stifled on repeated hits, but i guess maybe thats a small price to pay.
With the price of pikes going thru the roof, its just cos i’ve been offered lyriks at a pike price that i’m curious.

Thank u Matthew, very helpful. I am sort of expecting the 55’s not to do so well.
cheers

nearest quality bike shop is 20 miles away, so tend to get by on my own, but never mastered the brake bleedin thing.
