Out of curiosity I looked at the whippet too , it's literally the ramin in a different material if the figures are correct, I guess there are only so many different numbers that work
Glad I like the orange beast

Re: Bike insights comparison, are they really so similar (Ramin vs rocky road)
They certainly would have sold more if it were priced higher, its way more than the sum of its parts and the low price definitely put some snobs off I tried to flog it initially before I decided to sell the jones and it was mint upgraded drive train and other bits and bats and I didn't get one bite ...

Re: Bike insights comparison, are they really so similar (Ramin vs rocky road)
There is mate but it seems so close as to not be really any difference if you know what I mean, obviously it will be different, just not a great deal That said apart from the fantastic forks and flexible rear the Jones spaceframe I had wasn't all that different to the ramin if I'm honest, which is w...

Re: Stupid, genius, or will I die...?
I had my jones like that it was 2.35 29er rear and 4.3 surly Edna up front and it was pretty much the same size the previous 3.8 tyre was a bit small , but I reckon a 2.4 rear 4.8 front would be great

Re: Surly Krampus 29+ or similar?
Ive used 2.35 and 2.4 on the back on a 50mm rim no problems at all the walls are I bit more exposed and its a little square but nothing bad tbh I'd be tempted to run 2.4 on back and 2.6 on the front when not using two 3.0 just to round the front tyre up a bit

All valid points , I'll dig a bit more but I think they appear similar enough to not need a new one at present tbh

Bike insights comparison, are they really so similar (Ramin vs rocky road)
I was looking at the on one rocky road as it looked a bit of a deal but upon comparing on this Website it looks remarkably similar to my ramin plus with 29er wheels on ,in fact using a stem calculator thing is I stick a 15mm spacer in it reduces my reach to the bars by 6mm, ive also got the ebb vers...

Pizza rack fitting?
I've acquired a specialized pizza rack but the bit that straps it from the fork crown to the top of the rack won't fit as my headtube is oddly shaped, what's that bit called so I can look for other bits, also does it need to be strong or is it more of a safety strap to stop it going into the front w...
