When you get the adapter though, your gonna think "all that - for that!"
You going to build your own front wheel then?

Andy

Nah I've got a mate who works in a bike shop for that ;-)

They look amazing. Like the colours. On the bottom of the right glove you should write "fark all"

ej2320

Yeah I thought they looked pretty awesome, I haven't seen anyone with them out on the trail.. Probably because they were only launched mid March

The thing that surprised me is they were cheaper than all the Troy Lee and Royal gloves, just hope they feel as good.. The only sponsored rider I know that uses them is Nico Vouilloz

They have 5 other designs but without the wrist strap which look just as good

Haha, well hopefully they will incourage me to give 100% ..

Ummm, in the last month....

Santa Cruz 5010c custom build
Full dura ace Di2 upgrade inc c50 wheels, carbon bars, stem and saddle for the fast road bike
Santa Cruz nomad 650b (I, umm, appear to be the first person in the uk, not sponsored by SC, to be getting one)

Yeah I know, it's pretty cool being me right now.

Why would you buy the 5010 and the Nomad? Surely they are too close together to have both. Never mind, someone will snap up the one you decide isn't required in 3 months or so.

tom_howard

As great as it is, the solo doesn't have the travel/geometry/beefiness for whistler/the alps/big mountain riding.

DCR00

Appreciated, but I can't ever imagine a situation where you would choose the 5010 over the Nomad, even for a quick blast round the block

RevellRider

I guess, if it was me buying both bikes it would depend on the build.

The 5010 would be built lightweight and almost XC fast, where as the Nomad would be built burly

ej2320

Personally I'd keep the Nomad and change the 5010 for a mega hardtail build

DCR00

Or keep the 5010 and get a DH rig

ej2320

That too

But it's his money and they all seem like incredible bikes

tom_howard

That's the plan, 5010 tips the scales at just under 26 lbs, has a slightly longer stem and revs. The Nomad is nearer to 29/30lbs, slack, low, short stem, wiiiide bars and pikes.

Before the Nomad was launched I was inches away from ordering a full on dh rig (demo 8 carbon, most likely) but thought that it might be a bit limiting for when I go abroad and only have one bike and don't necessarily want to spend all and every day in a dh park. With the Nomad it's slack enough and has enough travel for hooning down dh runs, but light enough for a couple of days trail riding.

I think the guy is based in Shrewsbury and he will fit it himself for £30

Not sure if he comes to the bike shop or he does it in his house/workshop but I know he works with a lot of the local bike shops where I am.. Dunno about SW though

Thewaylander

yeh thats near 2 and half hour journey and doubt he can fit it on the day, said on the site 48hours

Leasure lakes do it, but the guy is manchester, postage and bike stripping and rebuild to do it.. £150! ouch my but hole shrunk!
