300-400 metres in 10K is child's play. There are several roads here that climb approximately 200 metres in around a kilometer.super enduro wrote:what do you mean with "sensible hills"? where I ride, usually have 300-400 meters up, in 10 kilometers, (5 miles) before starting the way down.
Thanks,
Anyway, what I mean by sensible hills, was a hill that is realistically climable. Some hills or mountains are so steep or slippery or boulder strewn that no amount of adjustable fork would ever get you up it, and I have to carry the bike instead.
Thank a lot, now it is completely clear!
maybe it is me and not the enduro geometry, but I usually shrink the e-150 to avoid dicomfort in my back.
Then your float could be a nice substitute for my e-150, not as expensive as talas, and not so heavy as vanillas.
All information is well received to not throw more euros to waste!0 -

I wonder if van 36 it's a handycap for climbing, I usually shrink E-150 to 100 mmm, but I am pretty sure that that fork must be incredible to have fun going down.
What about the wheight? Do you feel more heavy the front wheel?
Thanks a lot.
Hi there
Quick question before I start - why have you usernamed yourself after my bike!
I used the 36 Vans for the first time last Saturday. As I've already posted, they were awesome - easily worth the weight penalty many times over.
The difference was really noticed over the whole ride ie. uphill, downhill and everything in between. As for uphill, I didn't feel the extra weight at all! I can honestly say that the only difference I felt over the 32 floats was the stiffness that allowed you to ride over everything without being thrown offline. This helps quite a lot as a certain amount of momentum can be lost this way when climbing.
Admittingly, I didn't have the most challenging of climbs and my weight distribution probably changed slightly, albeit subconciously, because of the extra travel.
If I had to give advice judged on this first ride, I would strongly recommend the Vans over the floats for the Enduro.
Hope that helps0 -
are you recommending Fox36 vanilla over the fox 36 float? why?0

I did laugh a lot at that one myself oldun.
Got to admit, even with those forks, finding it hard to keep up with the two O5s on the down runs.
Is it a Bird? Is it a plane? No it's black O5. He got more air than BA!

Don't worry, It's code saying I'm a tw*t. He'll get better after a few hard slogs on the trails!
I can forgive him though, coz I think he likes me bike. 0 -
I know you're a sensitive one z20, I'd give you a cuddle but first I would have to prise the carbon one out of your arms ps who's talking in code :? 0

YOU were talking in some code, old, I mean...
What the HELL is that?black 5 worries the hell out of me z20. when big j starts to ride like that you'll know what I mean. again your spesh is the muts0 -

Oh dear :shock:
Makes me not feel so bad for only having the 25.4mm version now.
With all the jumping and stuff you do, it's a good job nothings happened yet.0 -

I've phoned the shop where I bought them and I'm exchanging them for some carbon Easton Monkeylites DH tomorrow. 0 -

I don't do a lot of jumping tbh - as I'm pretty crap at it. But yes, with the rides I've been on, the thought of the bars snapping makes me shudder!
I will miss the gorgeous look of the bars, but if I get the Easton DH Monkeylites in place of them I will have a better functioning bar in terms of strength not to mention the better position it will give me on the bike for the type of riding I enjoy most. 0 -
Paul_sp thanks to you I am now the proud owner of these;
OK I had to stump up a little more cash, but hey, these are the best bars in the whole world.
Fitting them later this evening - I hope my cables are long enough for the extra width!
And NO I'm not cutting them shorter (new cables before that happens).0 -

Apart from "your spesh is the muts", none of that makes any sense at all to me, or probably most of the people here. You're talking gibberish. :roll:0 -

:roll: To be fair I started the black O5 - a guy I ride with who doesn't come on here - hence no username - so is known by his beloved Black Orange 5. When I mentioned him earlier in the thread I hinted that he was getting big air - hence the 'worries the hell out of me' and 'when big j starts to ride like that'
big j = some numbty with a shite bike thats not worth mentioning.
Z20 doesn't really need explaining - does it?
Hope that makes things a little easier to understand ! :?
EDIT:- I would imagine that it's not hard to work out, by reading the thread, that oldun and z20 ride together?0 -
Oh, that's as clear as mud?!?0
