After 3 years and such with Trek Fuel, and of several cracked props, I acquired finally a decent bike for the type of use that I give him. All-mountain / Long race. Initially it was bearing in mind a Mondraker Dune, after there had phoned ten of shops of north the south of the country, nobody had it for my size! Then I decided to leave for other one, and me a good business appeared to the exchange to one of my worn-out road and I was of use. Inicialmente tinha em mente uma Mondraker Dune, depois de ter telefonado para dezenas de lojas de norte a sul do país, ninguém a tinha para o meu tamanho! Então decidi partir para outra, e apareceu-me um bom negócio à troca a uma de estrada minha usada e aproveitei.

The bike pedals well, have a gentle deadening, it has a picture with good aspect, the transmission SRAM to pass changes is very good (it has a touch different from the Shimano … they pass quicker … it pleases me). The brakes are a few Hayes and they do his function … they still did not put to bed but they begin to bite already well, but with 203/180 discs it is difficult not to have brutish force of travagem.

The shock absorber has no pro-pedal, but this is something that does not preoccupy me, once that I look for sensibility. And what concerns that, I like the touch of the shock absorber, let's hope that it works so during much time.

Á front has the Pike 140mm of springs U-turn with the extra of the column of direction in aluminum, which always takes away a few grasses to the commercial version, what for the segment that is inserted is something weighed … the not much short Pike I Find comparing with the sensation of the rear that the course does not finish. A suspension of 160mm would be the ideal for this bike. Even because the front of the bike is baixinha. The axle Maxlite 20mm gives in fact a very good rigidity around the front. And it already let to feel what the tires Eskar 2.3 seize well. Até porque a frente da bike é baixinha. O eixo Maxlite 20mm dá de facto uma rigidez muito boa à roda da frente. E já deu para sentir que os pneus Eskar 2.3 agarram bem.

The bike in boys drops is different from what I am got used, very gentle in the landing and it does not give that sensation of finished course. In terms of weight, we must have walked for 14 kg and such … Something easily lowered with a suspension the air and a few tires with flanks in kevlar. But that also does not preoccupy me very much … Mas isso também não me preocupa muito…

Here ZEN of the day goes the moment lol!

Then I complete the analysis when it has walking more
An embrace.
