X2! Did a Super D at Windham this year on one and it was a blast on a Gruitr, especially in techy courses like that one (minus being killed off the start by the XC dudes sprint to the bike thing...).Sinister gruitr
I'm planning on trying it for a race or two on a hardtail...can a guy run a hardtail for a super D race?
I was chasing a guy on a hardtail in a SD race last summer, he had me in the pedally stuff, but the second it turned down, dropped him like a bad habit. I guess it would really depend on the course though.....can a guy run a hardtail for a super D race?
Yeah If I can get my cardio up Id like to do a super D, part of the reason I got it was traing and helping with cardio/corners. Figured if it railed Id probably run a super D (lungs permitting ). IT RAILS!^^^ I've heard really good things about the Evo as well.
I've been on a Trek Remedy for a few months now and am stoked. It doesn't pedal quite as well uphill as my SL did but more than makes up for it on the descent and everywhere else. Hoping to wring it out in a few Super D's this year...
Too bad you aren't still up north - - Silver Mountain has a good super-d layout that you could get as many reps on as you wanted this year.If anyone has a good training regement or list as well of super Ds in california and what to expect on them ie elevation, etc... Id appreciate it. As well as pacing yourself what kinds of rides are good training etc... From what I gather super D is like aggressive AM.
If you like it so much why are you selling it?Chumba EVO, after pedalling it around yesterday and ripping it up at the berms and single track HOLY $H!T! May be unconventional looking but its well balanced and RIPS! Pedals well as well as Im impressed.
Jumped well, no for or aft rocking when hitting stuff vertical wheelpath to slightly rear so doesnt hang on stuff when going over and 6" feels plush on rough but pedalled really really well!
Its a medium and Im 6'4"!If you like it so much why are you selling it?
I could second that. I've spent a lot of time riding a Mojo this season and it's a hell of a bike. It's not real DHey, but it climbs better than almost any bike I've ever ridden, it's poppy and quick and corners really well. The suspension feels substantial. When it gets real steep I'd want something lower and slacker, but other than that I've always had a lot of fun on it. It's also stiffer than a lot of DH bikes. At 240 it's hard to make the Ibis squirm. Impressive for a 6lbs frame.The mtbr guys would swear by the ibis mojo.
Got some chopped down shock on there?! That seat tube angle looks rediculously un-Turner.I'd take my 5spot myself
Nup that's standard shock stroke and eye to eye might be the angle or the seat 7.5 x 2.0 stroke shock! I measured it made sure its not stuck down, its on my RFX at mo as Im using the Spot stays on the rear for a SS mode!Got some chopped down shock on there?! That seat tube angle looks rediculously un-Turner.
Chumba Evo! Rocked to the top and with the comp backed out 2 clicks and rebound as well it rode like my DH bike but cornered alot faster. (scared me a couple of times, laid it over weighted the outside and off it went pinning it full speed).
I have a 66 RC3 thats going on it for race season and Ill use the z1 fr eta for super D.
And of course the big bike for bigger stuff.
Ride up (pedalled from here to top non stop 2600' up top is in the clouds off to right by the top of the tree)
Mind you the bike is 37lbs with DH casings and some stupid 600g oddesey pedals and a sold steel sram cassette, wheelset (hubs/spokes mainly) and a few other heavy bits on it as well. Can easily be 33 lbs freeride DH ready!
peddaled really well!!!!
Me at top
Bike back at inlaws
Do you like the fork? I have the 06 version in white on my Heckler and I resist on changing it. I think I've already changed all the stuff on my bike since I bought it minus the fork...it's a great all around fork in my opinion...
