View Full Version : Moment & Maverick: Yeahhhh!!! Palisworth 08-16-2004, 03:37 AM My Moment......... :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Trevor! 08-16-2004, 03:40 AM Very nice stuff indeed - I think my favorite Moment build thus far. What length stem is on the maverick? Is that a medium or large frame? Nice component choice too - I may have gone for a fatter tyre, but otherwise everything looks good, even the saddle too. Trevor! bike_freak 08-16-2004, 04:05 AM WOW! Alright... that has got to be one of the sweetest bikesI have ever seen! Love it! Bet it rides real sweet.

Nice component choice too - I may have gone for a fatter tyre, but otherwise everything looks good, even the saddle too. Trevor! Thanks! :) It is a 19" frame, and the stem is 70mm long, but a 90mm long stem will be better. The tires are a Schwalbe Fat Albert and King Jim , both in 2.35" size....I' m in searching for better ones....maybe the Maxxis Hans venture... The ride of the Moment is absolutely amazing!! :D :D Bye, Pali Bob the Wheelbuilder 08-16-2004, 08:28 AM Looks great! Congrats. I've heard nothing but good things about he Maverick forks, and the look is fantastic combined with the Moment. I would have guessed the frame was a medium, the fork makes the frame look smaller to me. I kinda wish I'd considered that fork myself, but I rode a Maverick frame for a couple of months and was quite underwhelmed. I thought that if I didn't like the frame, I wouldn't like the fork, but like I said, everyone seems to love them. Let us know how you like the frame/fork combination over time. mtnbkrr 08-16-2004, 10:11 AM very nice build!! :) my ID has almost the same build, I know the monent must ride nice. whats the weight?

Ciao, Pali Whafe 08-16-2004, 12:29 PM Sweet looking ride, tend to think we do not look at those forks enough. The reviews I read and hear are very good, they are way light too. Be interesting to hear how the moment rides on some freeride stuff. May well be a better more useful bike than my DARE. Time will tell. Cheers Col 08-16-2004, 06:37 PM Great looking ride. Nice job. I have just put together a moment. I have gone for the float shock and mine is weighing in at a porky 14.2 kg. Will take some pics this weekend, and will post them next week Trevor! 08-17-2004, 12:39 AM Thanks! :) It is a 19" frame, and the stem is 70mm long, but a 90mm long stem will be better.

The ride of the Moment is absolutely amazing!! :D :D Bye, Pali Thanks for the size information. I am just curious to what sizes etc people are using. May I ask what height you are? Those schwalbes are a good choice - I have a new favorite being the Kenda Blue grooves, a 2.35" up front with the same or a 2.1" in the back would be awesome fro dry condtions, and they work fine in wet but even better is there sticky compound. Again, great bike! Palisworth 08-17-2004, 03:37 AM Thanks for the size information. I am just curious to what sizes etc people are using. May I ask what height you are?
