Ross McArthur Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think its due to the rider being descendant from an Ewok or Oompaloompa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 It's a 14" frame, made for 29er wheels. It is a dropper post, I had a go on it on Friday night. It feels proper weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I could not resist showing you lot my 29er I know you will hate the mudguards but they keep the best part of the winter trails out of my eyes Don't worry we aren't laughing at the mudguards. We are laughing at the fact its a 29er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I want a 30.9 dropper post that is 400mm long and drops 125mm. Is there anything cheaper than a Reverb that's worth considering? I begrudge paying that much but I guess it'll be worth it? Any issues with going secondhand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yep its a 15" 29er and a rsp (Raleigh special products) dropper imo quite a good little dropper if you need one to fit 27.2 i got regected for the job as a oumpalumpa and ewock for being too tall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 So I've got hold of a frame, a brand new 2013 commencal meta am. Only trouble is it is just the frame only so was never supplied with a shock/shock mount. Now I have a fox rp2 shock but unsure what mount exactly is required. Can anybody reccomend a place that's good with this sort of thing? I've contacted a few places, I was just seeing if anywhere was good in particular.

forteh Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I would talk to commencal but my friends experience of their customer service (after they took months to supply a replacement wheel nut for her jump bike) doesn't fill me with hope for you Is it just the correct shock sizing you need or do you need hardware as well?

Just pulled this out of the massive load of tech sheets for you. If the shock you have has the right e-e and stroke check betd out for the strong bushes and the accompanying hula hoop bushes and you're sorted.

dezmtber Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Ring or email betd/goldtech, they will sort it you will just need two sets of shock bushes and hardware. just tell them what frame and what year, and the shock you have to fit.http://www.mountainbikecomponents.co.uk/items.asp?CategoryID=92&Name=Strong+Bushes Edited March 7, 2014 by dezmtber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Either that, TF Tuned or Mojo who are Fox UK distributors. They should be able to supply you with the right kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Went for a blast on some trails today in Bristol, within five minutes my bottom bracket had gone. It makes loud creaking and grinding noises, so I assume the bearings are buggered... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Would anybody be interested in my 456ss frame in glow in the dark(good condition, few chips but no cracks or dints), marzocchi all mountain3 (air, adjustable rebound 150mm in great condition) and some other bits? After riding my five it feels a touch to small, it's a great fun bike thou, great for trail center fun! At the minute it's just frame, forks, seat post/clamp and probably bars/stem available, I'll be keeping the cranks for upgrading my five and the wheels will be going on my next hardtail. Any interest let me know and I'll get getter pictures for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Paint was already on the bike, I have sourced some glow in the dark lacquer thou Mike, I'm not sure to be honest, forks seem difficult to price and the frames abit of a strange one, what are you thinking? It's a 20" frame too, I'm 6ft3 and it's good on the inside leg, just slightly short on the reach being mega slack angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just finished up rebuilding my single speed so I thought I'd take a picture of that and my other bikes. One for getting around town, one for longer rides/races and one for stunts. I've also got a touring bike waiting to be rebuilt and should hopefully be getting myself a fourplay at some point in the near future! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a 20" frame too, I'm 6ft3 and it's good on the inside leg, just slightly short on the reach being mega slack angles. Well to be honest I have no idea what it's worth, I just like how it looks. I currently have a single speed DMR Drone that although fun, doesn't really suit the kind of riding I do these days. Ideally I'd like to swap my bike for another bike that's good to go, but finding someone with the right kit that is looking to swap is proving tricky.

bing Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I built this today, swapped my mtb frame for a Planet X zebdi, to do some DH and jumping on. It rides amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
