¿Qué problema hay con que pese 2.5 kilos? Mi trasto de freeride como dice Alex no llega a 15 kilos y copiando el montaje salvo cuadro y horquilla, un Ragley con Minute de 140 serían unos 12 kilos.
Ohh, la Cove Hummer Ti es preciosa. Y la BH, pues no es tan glamourosa, pero seguro que cumple! Ahi teneis la Litespeed y la Cove este finde, cortesia de Nayo y Arturbo. Y una mia.
como haceis para que vuestras bicis pesen tan poco?? mi cacharro pesa unos 15,3 mas o menos. esta montada tocha para bajar. cuadro hardrock,horquilla allmountain 1, 150mm,bielas slx 2 platos,cambio slx,rueda de serie y la de atras mavic 321,cubre,guia,y neumaticos maxxis 2,35. le tiro a saltos de 1,5,o voladas de 4 metros de largo y la bici perfecta nunca tuve que centrar la rueda trasera. la verdad es que mi bici la veo mas gorda que muchas de las que pusisteis aqui ultimamente,pero no se.
Pues pq las bicis que ponen, no estan pensadas para hacer voladas de 4 metros de largo, quizas 50 cm de alto como mucho y siendo que todo vaya bien, por lo que se puede aligerar mucho la bicha. Yo si le cambiara a mi orbea, horquilla por una de 130, el manilalr , potencia y gomas, se quedaria en 11-11,5....como mucho, no seria para saltar, sino apra hacer rutas "faciles", coger fondo, cuando la doble este rota....como bien dijeron de fondo de armario. Para hacer el bestia la doble.
Si aguanta una HardRock de aluminio la Ragley lo aguanta seguro... El problema no es el tamaño de los saltos, sino las recepciones y el recepcionista, jaja.
pues la hardrock baja perfecta,solo la uso para bajar ya sean trialeras o circuito de DH que tenemos aqui. los 150mm no se notan en exceso,la bici no queda mui levantada ni nada por el estilo,se comporta mui bien saltando o bajando. ya subire alguna foto cuando pueda,que estoi con el portatil y aqui no tengo.aunque podeis ver en mi perfil que creo que tengo una foto montada tal y como esta ahora.
¿La hacen también en aluminio? Por cierto, qué preciosidad la Cotic Soul, además muy bien de peso, pero 440 libras.....
SI, es 50€ mas cara que la P7, pero esque pesa menos de 2 kg, exactamente 1,99...kg en talla 17.5....que es un peso estupendo para estas bicis, y ademas acero 853 reynols.... sino me equivoco simplemente hay un acero mejor que ese, y esta al precio del titanio...y tb parecido su peso, en IF lo usaban.
Está este post, y si hay algún post que permite divagar es este ya que hacerse una de estas bicis no require quitar la bici actual,no requiere hacer mucha inversión (supuestamente aprovechamos cacharritos), y permite a muchos de los que escriben ultimamente probar algo que hace mucho que no experimentan "las coladura":lool En estas lides llevo mucho tiempo y han pasado por casa 2 Chameleones, una hoss convertida, una Banshee Viento, y una NS Society. Recomiendo a los que no están muy convencidos dos cosas importantes, procura que la inversión sea lo mas barata posible si no va a ser tu bici principal, diferenciala de tu doble para tener una verdera segunda opción. Es decir que si tu doble es una enduro con 160 de muelle pues no le pongas a la rígida mas de 140 y en aire. Además considero imprecindible para aprovechar la rigidez de estos cuadros utilizar siempre eje de 20 0 15. Si pones mas de 140 siempre con cambio de recorrido, y posiblemente el concepto de horquillas ideales son la PIKE o las TALAS 32. Y finalmente si no te hace falta mas, intenta hacerla ligera para aprovechar la ligereza de las rígidas. Os adjunto el downsizing de mi actual Chameleon provocado por cambiar de una Fuel EX a una Roscoe.
Que creo es muy recomendable y de la que ya hay alguna en este post es la RCZ Katana de FIZZBIKES, que además cuenta con ISCG. En aluminio, solo 1,9 kilos y 250 leuros
Mola, aunque no tenemos Cotic ni Cove en la tienda Tengo la P7 de Orange...............bueno y Seven :whistle
Rigida endurera, alguna foto mas en el post de On-one... este invierno me parece que va a ser la bici principal, que tamos en crisis y los rodamientos son mu caros!!!
Bansheetron: +1 a todo! Incluido lo del downsizing! Benito: estupenda bici! Cuelga una de la doble, que no se queda atras!
Ragley en bikeradar :shock: "The Ragley divides opinion, but if you understand its radical geometry, you won’t question its firm feel or ungainly cosmetics By Guy Kesteven, Mountain Biking UK The pairing of Brant Richards as designer and Mark Lynskey on building duties created the ‘perfect 10’ On-One Ti456 last year. Their latest venture is the Ragley Ti and it’s even more radical and love-or-hate-it controversial than before. Richards brought us the first frame in the UK to try out. Ride & handling: Kick-ass climber with downhill-style handling and firm ride feel Even with a 70mm stem in place, the Ragley’s handling is an acquired taste. The slack head angle and long wheelbase mean you have to really swing the bike out and round turns at slower speeds. The steep seat angle and short head tube put a lot of weight forward on the fork when you’re in the saddle, and some testers wanted a higher rise bar. The more you ride it though, the more you’ll realise the terrain advantage this radical position gives. With your body weight effectively in the ‘tip of the saddle’ position to begin with, and the potential to fit a massive 2.5in rear tyre, the Ragley can claw its way up seemingly impossible slopes. The long top tube means plenty of breathing space with a short stem, and solid power transmission through the chainstays easily gives most riders trying to follow you a three-fingered salute. When heading back down, the steep seat angle makes it easy to drop down behind the saddle onto the rear wheel. The slack head angle and short stem also keep steering light and accurate, even with all your body weight bearing down through them. At higher speeds, the long wheelbase and high bottom bracket enable the bike to drive through the most mossy rock and root sections like an arrow. Despite the obvious shock absorption and sting reduction from the Ti frame, there’s no hint of twist threatening to tie the frame in knots. Unshakeable front end confidence means counter-steering the bike into the apex and drifting it out sideways soon becomes addictive and the aim on every corner. In short, this bike pushes titanium trail hooliganism to a whole new level. The level of aggression that it generates in your riding does need matching with kit though – something we found out rapidly when it repeatedly overwhelmed our initial Marzocchi forks and light wheelbuild. Aggressive testers loved the Ragley, but there were some haters. The plated back end is stiff and solidly inert, and this cuts into long-haul comfort and the springy feel we expect from a titanium bike. A few never got on with the demanding but rewarding handling either. Finally, the aesthetics of the holey frame and industrial sections didn’t universally appeal. Richards freely admits it’s an unashamedly extreme design though, so watch this space for future developments. Frame: Radical geometry plus utilitarian looks won't please everyone The front end is relatively conventional, with a machined, ring-reinforced head tube backing onto a bi-ovalised down tube. There’s no gusset due to welding process worries (it’s tricky to bathe a hidden seam in the inert gas that’s vital for a secure titanium joint) and the top tube on the new frame is straight, not curved. All the tubes are cold worked in the US to increase strength and bare frame weight is a race-viable 1,610g (3.5lb). Things get radical on the rear stays though – a ‘three-finger’ split plate design takes the place of the conventional chainstay tube. This provides serious stiffness and massive tyre and chainring clearance. The dropouts are long extended plates, with the disc brake mounted on the chainstays. This leaves the seatstays free from brake load, so they can be made skinny to absorb shock. With only a tiny plate gusset at the top, mud clearance above the tyre is huge too. The controls are routed through assorted threaded insets and bolt-on clips, and the frame comes with a sticker sheet, so you can logo it however you like. Equipment: Pick your own – but you won't make the most of this bike with too light a build We’ve been running the Ragley for a few months, so it’s worn a few different outfits. We think ‘chunky trail’ kit such as a RockShox Revelation Maxle fork and Hope SPAM4/Flow wheels is the optimum. Brant told us to run a 70-50mm stem, and having suffered a mixture of stubborn tramlining and sudden jackknifing when we tried a 90mm, we totally agree. Ragley Blue Pig Frame (09) | £260 BikeRadar verdict 45 out of 5 stars "Not light but strong, innovative and a blast on the most technical trails" By Guy Kesteven & Steve Worland The frame here is a final prototype, but some members of our test team are already placing orders for the first production bikes due imminently. Designed by Brant Richards (previously On-One) this is a radical hardtail frame that rides superbly in conditions that most right-minded people would do their best to avoid. The long top tube, steep seat angle and slack head angle demand a 50-70mm stem but with a big bar and a stiff 140-160mm fork you’ll feel invincible. It’s a superb technical climber too, consistently surprising everyone who rode it with what they could get up. The unique ‘three finger’ split-plate chainstay design means massive mud and chainring room, and this is the first steel hardtail we’ve ridden that passes the latest brutal CEN testing standards. The skinny seatstays and cunningly butted main tubes still manage to deliver a resilient wrist-saving spring to the ride. There’s excellent traction and power delivery, and ample breathing space meant we didn’t worry about the high weight either. The separate sticker kit and machined cable/hose clamps can all be moved according to different rider/drivetrain demands too. El precio del de acero está de PM pero pesa 900gr más que el de Ti ):
