Shit Yerrr !!!!
@CFOxtrot I can assure you that by judging me as an "e-rider" you couldn't be further from the truth, anyway......
Oh and Irritum, your 22Fx25R has you at .88 lowest gear, my 34F 36R is .94. stuff all difference really. In fact if I ran a 32T front ring (36R) I would be running an identical ratio..... food for thought ;)
Back on topic, Knolly is hardly ever seen here in Australia, would be good to see more of them.
Never thought I would get sucked into these online arguments but there I go eh... might go for a ride.
My Stumpy ran up until this week a 32Front 1x9 (11-34) setup and hills aren't a problem. By hills I mean 1600m climbing in 22kms. I recently went to 1x10 (11-36) with 34T front ring and its equally as good, the bike regularly gets used in enduro races and I never have a problem. Less mechanical issues, less weight and less handlebar clutter (I needed that spot for the dropper post lever).
Back on topic, The Knolly rocks, interesting rear linkage, I want to see more detail on the 2 pivot connection points at the top of the seat stay.
Typical efficiency figures are Chain 98% and Belt 95%. Even if you could work out a way to get a belt on your bike (without dismantling the frame) your still loosing power. How in hell will marketing guru's sell that to the general population?
I love the bike, Its clean, well engineered and just something different. If the DEMO ever goes a Zerode will replace it.
These frames are awesome and have some solid results behind them after less than a year in competition locally. This is the future.....
Front Derailleur's are so 2011
The pivot used to be THE Bike for me, loved it. Nowdays, not so much.
Levers everywhere that look like they are asking to be snapped off, a cable actuator that fails before the levers (well helloooooo) I could have told you that would happen without a test rig and only 3 positions. Sorry Fox I'm sticking to the Reverb.. About Us
