[Closed] 140mm hardtail 29ers?

But 0mm on the rear is enough?

Lots of people running 140 on Yelli Screamys but the only purpose built 140mm hardtail I know of is the 2 Souls QH

I'm waiting for a 140 Rev for this. 120 Reba at the mo.

There is less need for travel on a 29er, but some folk will need long travel.
Look at the Canfield brothers first.

Or wait, next year there will be more 29er variations beyond xc.

this seems to be interesting.......

i ran a 140mm white bros fork on a chumba hx2 for a few months.
it was pretty good at descending, but on the flat or uphill it was shocking.
i reckon 140mm is too much for a 29r frame.

I think that depends on the frame ton, I can't wait to get my 140mm 29er built up

stuff the hardtail and get a 140mm 29er Roscoe or the 150mm niner WFO and roll ever everyone and everything like an avalanche

have you ridden a wfo tazzy ?

It looks a purposeful bike

I can't wait to get my 140mm 29er built up

Tell me more ringo, what you bought now ?

Haha I'm jumping the gun a bit, I'm talking about my blackcat which should be here in
5 months. Going to have it designed around 140mm travel, super short stays and built like a tank. You were right about those pressures on the Nate,

sounds nice.

those nates sure dont need much air in them.
might try them front and back in the full fat next week 🙂

Bloody hell that'll be like riding on velcro, I couldn't believe the grip I had I was grinning ear to ear

might have to put a few more psi in the rear 😆

hoping it will mean i can ride it in the gloop of winter as well as the snow

got to be honest, i would love a longer travel full sus 29r like the wfo or the intense, and norco do a long travel one also, the shinobi.

my ventana was built up to a very tough dh/fr type spec, but it did lack a bit more travel.

sss - that looks ugly - sorry. I think it is a shame the front end looks like it has bits missing to keep the bar height low.

sofaking I've had a go on the shorter travel version of the WFO i.e with 130 fork on it, but not the full on monster truck version. The only thing being because it so bloomin quick over rocky stuff if do drop it you'll make a right mess of yourself due to the higher speeds. It even made me feel like I had some rad skillz which is saying somefink 😯

Sounds dangerous 🙂

would make an amazing alpine play bike or that new mythic full boinger, when they get their bums in gear

sss - that looks ugly

So does your mom but your dad still f****d her to produce you. 😆

I buy my bikes on how they ride not how people i've never met and have never riden it think they look in a photo on the internet.

Oi Stu, TooTall's mum is fit. Well at 03:00 on Sunday morning in the kebab shop she is.

I know. i've *** her a few times myself.

Though having your ** dripping out almost put me off.

Only almost though.

handbags........... 😆

Slosh.

Ton.

At 3.00 on a sunday mornin in a kebab shop id try to **** you too.

Though you're better looking than the swede so it's a no contest.

*blows a big kiss at swedey babba.*

Makes noise like cold water down the back! How very dare you.

That's not cold water down your back that's warm *****.

Still a fugly bike. 29ers for stumpys look like that tho. Your reaction amused me - thank you.

Your reaction amused me

Your dads reaction also amused me. 😉

Your line of banter is far closer to 'emergency' than a grown man should be when someone comments on his bike. Are you drunk or internet-brave tonight?

Hick. 😉

But i'm much braver when not on tinternet.

Just ask your mom or swede.

I have never met or even heard of ss Stu.

Maybe you know me by my stage name swede. 😉

Several Speed Sharon? Is that you? I feel cheated, swindled and hoodwinked. I will never allow a fat bald woman to blindfold me outside a chip shop and feed me a savaloy again.

That wasn't a savoloy that was a battered sausage.

Oh and the fatbird was tollah not me. I was the thin one. 😉

you are looking very fetching tonight Swede darling 😉

I was thinking this thread might stay on topic till stu and swede came home drunk from another day on the game

Really like that diamondback ht on page 1 (gasp!), but a 66 degree head angle on a 29er? Guess its only of going down hill then!

Let the insults continue!
