29er / New Scott Clone
« on: October 17, 2022, 07:36:59 PM »
So the other day I was Looking up some info on a set of road wheels while watching Hambini's you tube channel. I ran across one of the Chinese manufactures website that had what appeared to be a clone of the newest Scott with the internal shock in the seat tube. I know I wasn't dreaming. Has anyone run across this. It's driving me crazy, I have tried looking in the history and everything.
Help

After The Ride / What are your other interest?
« on: June 19, 2015, 01:51:05 PM »
Title say it all. I know that most who post here ride because its a great hobby or sport. I personally ride for health and to reduce stress.  So what other hobbies does every one have if any. I'll start. Mine is flying. Low time pilot of 3 years and about 150 hrs. I bought in to this shortly after i got my ticket. Its old, but well maintained. She flies great.

29er / New IP-057 Build
« on: November 11, 2014, 04:17:06 PM »
Hey everyone,
 I have been shopping for a new mtb for about 6 months. I have been ridding a MonGoose wally world special. It's a pig at 38lbs but it has served me well. After reading every thread in this forum and so many that my eyes are crossed in the mtb forums i still have a ton of unanswered questions. I have come to the conclusion that it may be simpler to build a hard tail rather than a full suspention since it is my first build.
 So this it what i have come up with so far. It looks like the IP-057 looks popular as well as the 256. I was leaning toward the IP-057 as i am not crazy about the wishbone behind the seat post. So a few questions for now.
1. When you order from IP has anyone been charged import taxes/ fees? I have heard or radio control items from china coming labeled as  a gift to avoid taxes.
2. I am 175 lbs 5' 9" tall. I ride mostly single track trails.  No big hills or drops, but lots of roots and I mean alot of roots with small drops 1'+/- . Would the IP-057 be well suited for this type of ridding? Would another frame be a better choice?
This is my first build so any advice/pitfall warnings  would be appreciated.
