This think really does climb like a goat, and seen has I am limited with a single ring up front it would climb even better with a granny ring but no way is it getting changed back

[adamm]

Haha cheers, I lived in the top floor of a flat for a while. It was rented so didn't really care and with no outside tap it was my only option to clean them!

[Dansmith]

I was looking to up my thread post for the classifieds and searching about bike racks and came across this thread, thought it should be bought back so.....

Current bikes, custom Transition TR450, custom Transition Covert

[gobbleplease]

I've always had a soft spot for transition for some reason - never actually ridden one though.
Coming form the the glory to the intense soccom the  Head angle really makes a differance - glory plows through everything but the soccom you really need to choose your lines - trade offs though the soccom takes air and like a pro and both handle equally well ! Soccom for inners and glory for fort bill ! - fink im going to try the k9 industries head angle reducer on the soccom and see what happens !

I rode a mondraker summum for a bit last year when I was riding for a team. Much prefer the TR450 but the summum was mint at tracking the ground like. U just had to work the bike constantly to get the best out of it.

The 450 likes to plough as well but it's mint on the steep stuff, even tho the summum was slacker, I still preferred the 450 any day!!!

Inners is my fave place in the world to ride lol.

I nearly got a glory a year or 2 ago, don't like the colour schemes on the new ones :(

[gobbleplease]

Yea the glorys a good bike I've still got the frame in the hut it's  a heavy though - it's still the best I've ridden at fort bill, but it really is noticeably slower than the soccom at inners which I ride more often. I deffo crash the soccom more often !

I can remember at fort bill I had the rear end of the glory drifting at the corner with the berm just before the tree section ( berm build up with the logs and my rear end drifted right in to the log wiped out all my spokes and stood up right catapulting me in to the field and rocks ( bike stayed exactly where it was upright - still attacked to the berm !) 2 seconds later my mate hit my bike and broke his ribs ! That was my last ride on the glory - fink I had 12 runs that day my body was destroyed !!

You must be pretty good if you rode with a team ! Who was it ?

I'm the same mate.  Bought a Specialized Hardrock a few years ago.  Changed the forks to Tora 318's, swapped a few other bits, bars, stem, seat post etc and hardly use the damn thing

Always loved gamblers. If I ever get rid of my TR450 I would be tempted, but I just love how this bike rides


BTW, don't get zee cranks. they're just SLX with different logo, the paint rubs off them SO quickly and they're not as stiff as saints. Save ya pennies up and go for saints mate.

[betty_swollox]

P.S Wouldnt use zee shifter either, wana go for SLX cos that will only shift up once per click, whereas saint and zee can shift up multiple gears by 1 click

[mortygttdi]

Cheers buddy will do that, it was either Zee or E thirteen but will look at the Saint
