To all you 29er's out there!

Between your monster wheels and @IR 's crabon dream-machine, I'm going to start feeling a little out-gunned on the trails :-/

You'll still have the edge in leverage though!

I run 2.25 slick tyres......any 29er mudguards out there?

Only full guards I know of available in the UK are 700 x 65mm SKS Bluemels

.

gilles berthoud stainless are nice.

Can any tyre be Tubless? Ardent folding for example?

Can be quite hard to seal them as they're more porous than proper tubeless ones.

Sold my CAAD9, so have ordered a crabon F-SI from Deutschland.

It's going to be immense.

Euroooooo

Pretty sure Ardents come in tubeless, tubeless ready and not-tubeless folding versions... so I guess it depends on which you have...

Cool, should fit me then :-)

That canondale is fugly

XC whippet-tastic

Doesn't need to look good - the spec is just immense, fast-as.

Looks functional.

Personally I think it looks awesome. Though I think that's more of an insult coming from me.

Doesn't need to look good

I can't believe you said that. You've moved down in my estimations.

Mind the instagram photo.

For the money the superfly 6 isn't a bad home at all!! I've recently put a narrow wide on so it's now 1x10.

Cycle to work scheme started on the 7th, so now I am actively looking for places that have a trek stache 5 in a 19.5, that I can sling my leg over for a spin....they should be hitting these shores around the end of September onwards......there will be plenty of bargains from me in the classifieds over the coming weeks, and some of my vintage stuff will be getting culled too....I need the room, and am a hoarder!

Very nice.....

I'm in exactly the same position.

Tested a Krampus at the weekend and really liked it, but still wondering if I should hold off for the stache (or even the new cooker).

This is my custom Salsa Dos Niner

You can see here the build process and some wild pics and here the complete parts list

but is that really big, or your saddle really small?
