Also fwiw my XTR 970 cranks only lasted a month or two before something got bent - think it was the axle between the two either slipping in the drive-crank, or twisting a bit. Either way they're no longer quite 180° opposed.

My current build is 34.something, with Saint cranks, and the stiffness and strength is well worth the extra 200+g, I think.

Yeah, but who would run the forks a full height, looks f'in ridiculous. Otherwise, mad ride- shame they choose the same colours as the glory.
I doubt any normal person would run the fork at full height, it is fully tuneable which is awesome.

Hii!

The inserts in there are just for the thread, in case you overtighten them and destroy the thread, just change the chip and done, instead of reparing swing arm with helicoil or whatever. There is no other fuction other than that.

Fabien rides them full height sometimes, but I have to say I just put it like this for the pic, if you look into the action picture the fork is not that high, hehe! ;)

About colors, we just keep same as 2009 model kaiser, but you can as well have it in white.

That thing is sexy as hell, and I'm not a fan of silver bikes with flashy graphics!

Geo options look sick! Will you really be offering a lifetime warranty on these things?!

Any pics of a plain white one?

I don't see any bearings ?!...

Is it running DU's all over or seald bearings ?

usually the bearing shows , like on the Disco's ,
and on other bikes like the Glory the bearing areas are beefed up.
On this bike it's all so slim it looks like it's running DU's like the new Banshee's.

Any Australian distros hooked up?
Sorry for that, but at the moment there is no distributor there, mondraker is still a very small company and now just starting to expand in europe...

No it runs bearings in every axle. Just we tried to hide them as much as possible.


Would also like to know :) Does anywhere have the lowest/highest BB height listed? They seemed to miss it in the Dirt article with all the adjustability numbers.
It is listed in Dirtmag under the M size tunning options, but here you go!

BB +10mm STD cups and min fork height (up to +30mm with max fork height and +2mm with slackest position)

I see that some questions are better left unanswered.

let me give it a shot:
"I'm sorry but since we are infringing on DW's patent - we cannot sell our bikes in North America."

I'm sorry to tell you but at the moment we are not selling there as there is no dealer in the US, as there is no dealer, in australia, netherlands, belgium, austria, until next year we don't have in the Uk and Germany... So is just a small brand expanding, hopefully we will get some interest for next years,...

I don't wanna start a debate on we are o we are not infringing the patent... The patent is world wide and we sell someplaces in the world... You can take a side pic of our bike and look into dw patent and will see that the wheelpath, antisquat curves,.... are so much different... Yes we have to links, but as the cannondale used to have in 98 a schwinn in 99 or so,... And about floating shock I designed allready a motorbike in 2002 with that, even if in motorbikes they use floating shocks since looooong time ago.
 
BB +10mm STD cups and min fork height (up to +30mm with max fork height and +2mm with slackest position)
Forgive my ignorance but what does this translate too in inches from the floor? Any clarification on the BB shell size also?

And about floating shock I designed allready a motorbike in 2002 with that, even if in motorbikes they use floating shocks since looooong time ago.
I had a Tomac 204 Lawwil with a floating shock, that was pretty darn old. Shame the shock was utter balls! :D

Derail: I loved those frames when they came out. I was so disappointed to see them depart from that design after a short period of time. I am sure the single pivot was way cheaper to make and the Lawill had some nice machined parts on it.

Ok, please resume your normally scheduled Mondraker discussion.

why the hell wouldnt they just put 14" from the ground?
Because this gives you a more accurate reading for your situation. Rim height, volume/size , etc all can change that "14" bb" figure where you don't know what they measured it with, or what your specific setup will garnish.

Unless you know what their exact setup is when a manufacturer states 14" bb, figuring out what your bb height will be isn't quite as good even though it is harder for the normal passer-by to figure it out.

Might be being retarded here but...isn't the "axles +10mm" a more 'standard' measurement than static BB height as running a set of big bag tyres vs some 2.3s can have a pretty big effect on your static BB height but won't affect how far above the axles your BB sits.

Edit - Beaten like a red-headed step child.

Got that Acadian.

I was wondering why the 73/150mm combo and not an 83 shell ?

I'm under the impression that most bikes with a 73/150 combo that do not have a dished rear wheel run into some fun little chain line problems.

GT DHi was 73/150. Always seemed fine to me, even though I ran a cut-down 6speed cassette spaced out from the hub flange (which would have exacerbated any problem).

There's pros/cons to both setups in my opinion. 73 feels more natural to me when I swap between my bikes, and will help with picking lines through ruts/boulderfields etc.
