hot - get a chain guide and your golden like a one off the 2009 e13 lineup

mikeyridesbikes (Jul 22, 2009 at 13:45)

Nah, I'm getting a lighter build going for it soon, so it's more AM/freeride oriented instead of DH. This is really overkill for me really, 729s are too much, as are the tyres, stem and forks are too heavy.

So if you want some Mavic EX729 rims...

admarshall (Jul 23, 2009 at 1:13)

Yeah I do slopestyle, AM, XC and Dh all on my FR Hardtail and how much would you want for them?

mikeyridesbikes (Jul 25, 2009 at 12:28)

£60 including postage.

Be warned though, they are a DH rim and weigh in at 675g per rim.

I quite like it too Razz

It looks better now though, will get pics up soon

marquis (Oct 8, 2009 at 13:20)

so fancy one of these,2010 model maybe not sure though yet.

what size rubber can you fit in the rear stays.

mikeyridesbikes (Oct 8, 2009 at 13:23)

Well that's a 2.5 Intense, check my album for a pic of the tyre clearence - there's barely any! It rubbed on the front mech when it was in the granny lol

. It also rubbed on the frame when the wheel flexed in corners. A 2.5 Maxxis would probably be fine though.

ah cool thanks.

smeckma (Oct 9, 2009 at 17:44)

Yes, I do like it. I wouldn't mind that bike at all.

Do you not miss a chainguide in there?

mikeyridesbikes (Oct 11, 2009 at 5:55)

Nope, I'm running a double and bash, chain has never come off. Have had chain suck, but a chainguide wouldn't have stopped that.

smeckma (Oct 11, 2009 at 6:48)

So what's your ridding like then? For me it is like it will pop out every time; and this is with a chainguide.

mikeyridesbikes (Oct 11, 2009 at 12:05)

The main place I ride isn't really that steep or techy, just short runs with jumps and berms, fairly smooth, some little root sections. Nothing too hardcore Razz

smeckma (Oct 11, 2009 at 12:08)

No, I mean, it is alright: I'm personally not all what I am cracked up to. I usually go down to Cannock when I'm not at work or potter around my neck of the woods. You live far from them trails then?

mikeyridesbikes (Oct 11, 2009 at 12:12)

No, it's a couple of miles away, takes anything from 15-30 mins depending on how lazy we are Razz

. Other better trails are 45mins to an hour away so I can't really be bothered to go there normally.

what do you use it for cross country or what? frame looks like it would be a great dj but but i noticed you have a dj bike already

mikeyridesbikes (Oct 26, 2009 at 2:23)

Freeride, AM, bit of downhill. It does everything pretty well.
