I love the adjustability of the Inline...I think I have it dialed in pretty well, but I'm waiting to see what Turner's settings look like, and see how close I came. That said, I didn't really have much issue with the way my Fox felt, I just wanted to try one of the Inlines when they were released. That's the blessing and curse when you own a shop...you can swing deals to get the latest goodies, but my customers expect me to have some working knowledge of those parts.
@ChrisKring has been torturing me with teaser pics.
Picked this up last night.
No complete build pics yet, should have it finished tonight.
Stock "Solo" Carbon S build. Though I will likely get rid of the front derailuer and second chainring and add a chain guide.
I live in Michigan. Long sustained climbs are fairly rare. Especially local to my house. I may regret this decision on a couple of trips out east this summer, but hopefully my legs are strong enough by then to get over it.
Nice! how you like that tire combo on yer trail bike?
I also opted for the dog option with my bike.Not entirely novel, but new shock, fork, 30t NW ring instead of a chainguide and a color coordinated dog for 2015:
It's a fun set up, and handles like you'd expect. The razor has decieivingly good braking performance when it's fresh, and cornering is consistent throughout its lifespan. The greatest tradeoff is climbing traction, which is noticeable. The Mary stays up front and never comes off.captainspauldin said:
On a trail bike no, but that's the tire that Santa Cruz put up front on the complete V-10's this year. Haven't had it on the trails yet, but my wife's V-10 has that combo.
Yeah you're probably thinking of me.
Wouldn't the removal of the 'L' shaped bit on the side knobs effectively make it an HR2?
Probably the best 29er out there.
Interesting. I'm no tire gu-ru like the woo.....but I find that I really like the high roller II's on firm hard pack trails and opt back to the minion dhf's when things soften up a little bit.
I bought a 3C Dual Ply 2.4 when they first came out and the side knobs did tend to get squirmy on hard pack. I keep hearing that the EXO versions are great on hard pack but I've been hesitant to drop coin on a set based on my experience with the DH version. All we have around here in the summer is baked clay.
Actually, you bring up a good point. I think we need a "Post your aggressively gay and unrideable bikes" thread for wagoneers and VPP bikes.
Might be unrideable but it is damn sexyGood call. Until then I'll just leave this here.
inorite?
Are 636s the only product from the 90s that people would still buy today no questions asked?
Old's cool.
Very happy with them Woo. I've been on this set about a year and before that a 26" set. Never had a problem with spoke tension and the rims, spokes, and hubs are all quality. Super easy tubeless (if you're into that sort of thing) and probably about as stiff as you can get short of carbon. A lot cheaper to replace a rim too if needed.
