wobbem, apart from the ghey purse under the saddle, that's quite nice.

I'm concerned abotu a broken reverb though. They've not been out long, and I've already read of as many of them failing here, as I have come across owners of broken early Joplins in the real world.

wobbem

indeed, not at all happy but the supplier promised to refund me if it fails again. Was thinking about setting up a thread about which dropper post has lasted the longest.

wobbem

Thats not a purse it a cover for the Thudbuster :oops:

Anonymous

You mean the thudbuster that shouldn't be needed on a 29er because of it's enhanced bump eating ability?
Well done, just as I thought I'd seen a decent 29er, you've put me right bakc to square 1.

wobbem

Suffered from lower back pain for years ( before I started riding) Thuddys work a treat for this, back is strong enough now to handle a normal post hense the reverb

You know what would work better? A proper bike :twisted:

Oh you b*tch

Ripley 29 details out, 120mm as expected (hoho).

Yay or nay?

Well, no. it was still an assumption.
If a horoscope says you'll "win big", and you win the lottery that day, that doesn't make it accurate, it just makes it a coincidence.

quattrojames

I've just read this, are you two still argueing

My 29er continues to impress, that said I've not ridden recent 26er to make a sensible comparison. Looks are a subjective thing though, and walking around my LBS anything that's not a 29er looks like a BMX :P

I had to read back to find out what he was on about, actually.
But yes, he's still being a clumpet.

I love how predicting Ibis will release a 120mm 29er is similar to winning the lottery, never mind the fact that almost EVERY BRAND has done exactly the same. You don't see much more than that due to the crazy chainstay lengths you end up with.

I didn't assume anything, I said I hoped it was 120mm and fit in with their current branding. It was the blatently obvious move by them. I was right.

You continue to troll, ignoring the question altogether. Your posts in every thread, regardless of the topic, read "travel makes no difference, you can have a 120mm hucker or a 160mm XC bike!111", everyone knows this, its great news, move on. This doesn't mean there isn't a standard range for a specific type of bike.

What question am I ignoring, exactly? And you weren't right. You got what you hoped for, that's all.
You're rambling like a crazy person, go take your damned medication.

toasty

Well much like the original topic, and first five pages, I was asking whether people liked it?

Looks nice - not seen that iteration of DW link before.

What?
Picking up a conversation/argument where it left off over a month ago may make sense to you, but I assure you, I have no idea what you're on about.
Pretty sure you're some kind of psychopath though. Or on the wrong end of the Autism spectrum, possibly. In which case, good for you, but I still don't understand.

toasty

It was a 29er bike porny thread, it still would be if you'd talk less. Nothing psychopath, I'm just adding another one to the list. Lay off possibly?

Anonymous

Dude, you're the one that dragged me into this. And I see you've edited your post to hie the fact.
So yeah, i'm sticking with psychopath.

toasty

Ok, great, feel free to drag yourself back out. You seem to exist solely to argue, it's literally got to the point where the vast majority of your past posts are just digging at people :?

Anonymous

dude, you asked if I still thought you were wrong, or something like that (you've now changed your post to hide it).
Otherwise, I don't give 2 shites.

toasty

No, I pointed out that my prediction was right and highlighted that anyone with a clue would have guessed the same. I realised I really couldn't be arsed with this, so changed it to the current, which was in line with the topic and far less likely to kick off.

The fact that you were lurking on the forum, reading ancient threads within seconds of them being bumped I was oblivious.

Probably wise just locking this thread, seriously can't see it actually recovering.

Anonymous

So, you goad me into replying, then complain when I do?
Yeah, locking this sucker is for the best then. Need to keep the mentalists like yourself under control :roll:

Yay but needs more bare carbon to make it worth the mental price tag that the'll put on it no doubt.

Now THIS is bike porn!

Daz555

This was supposed to be a bike porn thread!

As this has clearly collapsed I think I'lI just add that very few people look good on a 29er. They are the same people who make standard MTBs look like they are riding a child's BMX. Both of my 6'5"+ brothers in law look fine on a 29er.

Of course I would say that.....

getonyourbike

I know someone like that, he makes his 29er like a 26" bike with an average height rider.
