next progression of the build, now with chaos rims on ns rotary hubs and khe mac2dirts, argyles upfront, odi vans grips and an octane one chemical stem
Newset addition!
Bikes really nice pal , seatpost is ruining it though , get something inline and it would be pretty sick looking .
thanks mate! yeah agreed, that and the pedals and i'll be done....until the next thing!
Building up a Surge Evo and was thinking about trying 27.5 front and 26 rear. I will be running a DVO Diamond at 140mm.
Building it up to be able to ride the pump track/dirt jumps but also be able to do some "aggressiveish" trail riding on it. Any input on others who have built one up in 140mm would be great. Thanks in advance.
I run a 140mm 650 fox 34 with a 26 wheel an to be honest haven't noticed any difference in handling from the 26 160 fork it replaced I have noticed less hand ache, I put that down to going from 35mm to 34 stanchions an a better quality fork
What tyres have people been able to run in the back of their Surge Evo's with a 27.5" wheel? Was hoping a 2.35" Hans Dampfe and 2.4" DHR2 WT would fit with a bit of room. I'd be running the drop out all the way back.
I like all that red you have all over. I've been eyeing the new tapered Decades, but mine is still doing great, so why change it.
Thanks bsal, yours is fricking stealthy! Love the green hints and the white spokes look sweet! I was looking for a black stealthy build initially but this frame came up at an absolute steal so I went with it. Love the deep trans red!
has anyone tried to mount an internal dropper post through the internal rear brake routing hole on the soda evos?
Yes I have routed an internal dropper cable on my 2016 evo air.
I fed the outer cable down one of the internal holes near the headtube then I had to take the crankset and BB out to feed it up the seat tube. That bend is very tight! I used shielded jagwire which was a mistake as it's very stiff. Cheap flexible outer would have been easier.
is this a 27.5? how do you like it? I own the same bike, but 26" looking to go into the bigger wheel size, is it the same playful bike?

Yes I have 27.5 wheels. I haven't tried 26" but it feels pretty playful now I've dropped the Metric fork down to 160mm and set the short wheelbase flip chip.
My pride, a 2017 NS Bikes Eccentric Cromo 29 framekit with 130 mm Pike (would have loved a white one but was unable to find it), Spank Oozy Trail 345 rims on Hope Pro 4 hubs, Spank Oozy bar/stem/pedals in silver, KS Lev Si 150 mm dropper and Shimano XT/SLX shifting/brakes
Wow gorgeous! I'm ordering an eccentric cromo frames today and will be running i9 101 hubs on trail 345 rims.
After years of riding NS Eccentric 2015 I just got my new NS Define 130 in size L. In this moment I have changed only tires from Nobby NIc to Minion DHF 2.5 on front and DHR 2,4 on rear. I want to change brakes in future to Hope Race and seatpost to Bikeyoke (parts from old bike)
So now I we have trhee NS in house, cause my girlfriend has Snabb
