Got a fren riding this too. Seems like a more stable bike to move around. Love the brakes man... Formula FTW.

Go PCP do jump jump

U can in theory same some $$$ by buying better sealed bearings and use a normal headset.

Blingest headset is CK, but unfortunately they don't have semi integrated types.

U got a problem with HT?

LOL... Tell that to Jinya.

If one is used to Nevegals... Any other tires will be much less rolling resistant. LOL

Maxxis HR and Minions is not true to size. they run a tad smaller. A 2.5Minion will be like Nevegal 2.3 lidat.

No experience on the HR, but Minion's a beast's claws. I'm running super tacky upfront though.

IMHO, compromises on grip coz you wanna do both urban and MTB is not worth it. 2 sets of tires is minimum. 2 sets of wheels if you're serious.

Like the chinese saying... Can afford to buy cow, kenot afford to buy cow string? I'm sure you don't wanna put a scratch/dent on your SC Nomad frame when the tires slips during your trail rides, rite?

Get DJ tires like those Holy Rollers lo... LOL

OMG... This video will inspire Sinjiapoh people to organize something similiar in the FINE city and all the participants will come in their FS 29er XC rigs with all the blings

Izit up for sale d in KSH? My fren looking for one.

Spez shop did have the Pitch last time, but I think demand is not there so they drop it after the 1st lot.

Last heard, there's a brand new 2010 Pitch for sales at a discounted price in Kedah, 3k plus for complete bike IINM. Sorry, can't recall the shop name or contact info.

Alternately you can post a WTB in BBS. Alot of bike shops do frequent there...

Just short 1cm on the travel between Pitch and Enduro... Price alot of difference lo.

Frankly, get those Helicopter tape from Ebay (cheaper) and stick it on before the tube wraps lo since nobody's gonna see your carbon on carbon blings under the wrapped tubes anyway.

Soli soli... Wrong info given plak!

I think the more appropriate question would be why SC Superlight? LOL... It's a single pivot 4" bike. It's cheaper maintainence no doubt with just a pair of large bearings, but how's the ride quality compared to those newer multi linked bikes? Bobbing issues?

Bike shops objective is to sell in order to make profit. Don't fall into the trap. I'm not saying 29er is inferior or superior to 26er. Try it or atlest do some research online on the feedbacks.

Based on the geo charts, the 29er SCSL will be slightly more stable on speed due to the big wheel and longer wheelbase. The bad part is a longer wheelbase will also be harder to manuvere on tight trails and less flickable with a longer CS. You may think you're an XC rider and don't put much concern on flickability, but what makes a ride fun is to be able to make the bike do what you want with urgency, not driving a trailer kinda slow response, rite?

The BB is higher on the 29er SCSL though. Good thing about higher BB is less pedal strikes on tech terrains, but on the expense of cornering stability.

I find it funny that the geo charts in SC website states both 29er and 26er's A2C length is the same at 470mm. It's common A2C length of 470mm for a 26er with 100mm travel unsagged. But a 29er 100mm fork should be longer. A 470mm unsagged A2C length is typical of a 80mm travel 29er fork. Maybe you could send an email to SC and clarify that matter?

SCSL might not climb well though

Get an AM bike and fly down Tokun!

Eskrine skerry lah... Behind there got cemetery wan. Samo got fatality there last year wo?

KONA Honzo or Big Unit FTW!
