  • Any opinions on a Haro Mary SS 29er? Seems like it's got an EBB but can't find a full geo chart (stack and reach). If it handles anything like my 1x1 but with bigger wheels that'd be fine I guess.

  • Yup, I had one for around 3 years (before upgrading F+F).

    (Don't look at the seatpost...)

    You can find geo info on page 86 here: https://issuu.com/harobikes/docs/haromtb2009catalog

    Unless you're specifically looking for an EBB (or you're getting a great deal on it), I'd recommend going for an On One Inbred or similar. I found the EBB on an MTB needs a good clean pretty regularly to stop it seizing up. Also it had the worst forks I've ever encountered on an MTB, ridiculously stiff. Swapped them out for some nice Salsa CroMoto forks which improved the bike a lot.

  • Don't worry about the post, some tandem-owning friends had one, retinas already scarred etc.

    Spotted that chart, shame it's missing a few numbers but I can get a rough idea of the sizing anyway. Good to know about the forks too. Ideally I'd go for something fancy and with track ends but the market's a lot smaller over here (only seen a single on-one in the last 5 months...) and being cheap is the priority.

    Will see what the bikepackers of New Zealand can dig out of their sheds and how much the guy wants for this. It's only got to ride the length of the country in the new year... :/
