    Nice looking bike. Can i ask how the tyres perform? i'm thinking of getting the blue ones to finish off my colour scheme but i dont want to compromise on grip...

    the tyres perform well, plenty of grip in both wet and dry conditions. ive had them on the r/hopper for about 8 months so they've seen both summer and winter action, and i've been most impressed by thier mud-shedding capabilities- hardly any clogging atall!
    but then again i only have the specialized fast trak lk's to compare them to, which came fitted as standard to the r/hopper, and were truly awful in any thing but bone dry hardpack conditions. there is a review of the panaracers on bikeradar if you go to "bikes and gear" and search for the review.

    +1 i need to ditch mine asap as they really are god awfull in anything but going down towpaths.

    dont you find though the 2.1 compared to 2.2 too narrow?

    What stem do you have fitted?? What rise and length??

    I was thinking about going to a flat bar and like the look and fit of your stem/bar/bar ends

    Thanks

    hi john, stem is the original standard 2010 rockhopper stem, 75mm reach, 7 degree rise, i just flipped it upside down and mounted it below the spacers.
