have u ever tried the 19.5 samurui ? I'm two inches taller than you so thinking got to the 19.5 the top tube on the 17.5 is 1" 3 m m shorter than on my orange 5 so thinking it could be to short, but I'm concerned about standover on the 19.5 . how do people find the standover with a 32" Levin the 19 ? cheers

anyone ?

stuf – are u over at cannock on Saturday ?

slx do have better sealing , ordered, cheers lads

I see where your coming from trim , but it would be cool to find out exactly what the differences are between the 2

but are the slx any better, agreed on the deore had two sets and both have suffered from poor sealing, they were full of mud and crap after 6 months of riding

quick need to put my order in at merlin :-)

just leave your credit card at home chucky ;) he he

any one ? Ta

can anyone confirm the sealing is better on the slx ? cheers

if that's the case then I agree , I've had older deores hubs before and the sealings allways been poor

cheers guys , managed to try a 19.5 to big for me so a 17.5 it is , now powdercoat green or orange ? :-)

yeah my mate saw a 17.5 and said it looked too small for me but was worried about standover height on the 19.5

I currently ride an orange 5 18" would the 17.5 handjob be similar?

samrui – sounds like I need same size as u , how do I find the reach on the top tube , do I run much seatpost ?

you guys that are running 5's and the hand job , what size 5 u got and what size handjob ? I've got a 18" orange but not sure what size handjob ? cheers

still confused lol , o really need to try one but having trouble finding any where too , ride clent , cannock if anyones got one I could try

what do you reckon poppa
?

the one I'm looking,at is,the xt build on there website , the only thing that's putting me off,is the,weight

?

come on where are all the strong blue pictures ? the pink does look cool tho

sweet jamesy01 !

what size u got mate ? I'm 6ft 1 " so was looking at the 18" getting it to go along with my 5 so intend on using this for commuting. xc,attaching kiddy trailor aswell. cheers ! oh it comes with fox 140 forks was worried it may have to much travel

my new frame will be a 5 to replace my old 5 not changing for nowt

bump

looking good hora lol

I'm 6ft 1 " with a 32" leg torn between 17.5 and the 19

@iainc I've got a 5 and I'm looking to get a rocklobster 853 as a contrast, how do u find the rocklobster

bump

pics?

bump

same with the hj ? I'm 6ft,1 " BTW

oops 17.5 in the altitude !

oh I'm getting one in the green :-) I've tried the genesis altitude 10 for size and that was perfect, same for the cove u reckon ?

cheers mosey , any one got the new handjob?

it annoys me how people say how noisy the 5 is aswell , I've never noticed on fast desents , rocky terrain etc . if I paid attention to it I would be either a ) going to slow or b ) hitting a tree or the floor at high speed

what a woman :-) loving your rant , bank on the money aswell !

yep its usually mbr I read on the loo then I wipe my bum with it after just to get a little bit more value from it
