Yeah very interesting. Good move by SC to counter the seeming success of the 160mm travel 2010 Ibis Mojo HD...
http://www.feedthehabit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MojoHD-SideViewL600.jpg
No doubt SC will be able to churn out more Nomads than Ibis can with the HD (they don't have a great track record with their Mojo in this regard).
BTW here is the "Semi-official carbon nomad thread" (http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?p=6560587) on MTBR.

Saw that on MTBR. Good to see the rumours are continuing to be fuelled....Must be something in the pipeline for sure.
I'd like to see it released with the VPP1 Nomad pivot locations.
sorta officially released

High fiber diet plan. Love it!
It looks nice enough. Hopefully they don't break during demo rides like that BLT2 at Interbike??
Hopefully it means that the aluminium frame prices come down too.

Love the idea but in all honesty (and this is coming from a VPP/EVP fan), for the dosh i'd probably look at a Mojo HD instead... if you can obtain one.
Are we to presume the geo is the same as the current al version?

It looks fantastic, but i wish they went back to the VPP1 pivot placements. VPP2 isn't as plush. :(
i heard a lot is to do with the setup. With vpp2 apparently u can run more sag than vpp1 which gives you similar plushness but still tightens up more when you put down the power and provides less feedback.
i would have a hard time picking white or black to be honest lol

With a CCDB rear shock and 30% sag (same as VPP1 Nomad) it feels nice on everything except small bump stuff where it's crap. At 40% sag it just feels wrong, especially climbing. Same with a DHX coil shock. That's obviously just the way it felt to me. For others it's going to feel how they want it. But some people like single pivots too! :eek:
Definitely white.
I wish Pivot made the Firebird a nicer looking bike like the Nomad, but kept it's performance how it is.
OMG LOLOLOLOLOL poor Ben ...
Hey!
Sorry mate. :)
Get a Nomad or Firebird or Mojo or Spitfire or other multilink bike and turn the Heckler into a race bike! But once you get used to the bigger bike you'll probably want a multilink race bike as well. ;)

We have a winner right there!!!!
I cannot look at this anymore!!!....>:) black one actually looks better than the white....
The white one looks excellent. I wish that down tube guard covered the whole thing and that SC had pics of one built up with a double ring/bash guard set up like most people build them up.
With a CCDB rear shock and 30% sag (same as VPP1 Nomad) it feels nice on everything except small bump stuff where it's crap. At 40% sag it just feels wrong, especially climbing.

no love for the single pivots at all...
i saw a guy last weekend hitting up some of the gong DH tracks on his Nomad 2 with totems and a CCDB...i would certainly not be hitting any DH tracks with a carbo nomad
were you spectating or riding? lol
were you spectating or riding? lol
Its the same thing for Tai, at the pace he rides.:loling:

Totems are too much fork for the Nomad if you want to climb with it but are obviously great for going down. Did you manage to chat to him? What did he think about the CCDB?
were you spectating or riding? lol
i was spectating his sexy arse in lycra...until he nearly fell over on the smooth part of the track and smashed his elbow. Lucky he unclipped in time
lol u need to eat some meat
Its the same thing for Tai, at the pace he rides.:loling:
some red meat will help that :P

you two need to get a room. ^^^
BOT: I hate the new graphics ... is it just me ?
I'll be looking with interest for at least another 5 generations before I go carbon. The baby heads that tend to hit my BB and or down tube would eat thru that flimsy protector and other similar ones that I've see.
saying that ... more then happy to do a car park bouncer when you get yours Ben :cool:
nah nerf its alright. we have a mutual understanding. He likes to be an ass around the forum i like to be an ass to him. it is a give and take situation.
LOL if you wanna dish it out you better be ready to take it.
Tai one of the last time i saw you, u screamed like a girl in happiness when you FINALLY got up that smooth section after about 10+ times at that boring track :)
"YEAH I MADE IT!!!" *hands in air*
Totems are too much fork for the Nomad if you want to climb with it but are obviously great for going down. Did you manage to chat to him? What did he think about the CCDB?
he had the air totems and you can lock out the fork on those ones. i had the same ones on my glory8. he climbed mt keria road from the takeaway shop to the drop off point on it.
he couldnt stop raving on about how good the CCDB was, he said some guy from Cane Creek by the name of Malcolm something or rather was excellent in helping him set it up. no complaints from him about it.
The guy was from the UK and seem to know what he was talking about(unlike some of the garbage that gets regurgitated on here). seem to be a Santa Cruz fan.
some red meat will help that :P
lol jing...i bet i can still ride faster than you...without breaking my elbow either
BOT: I hate the new graphics ... is it just me ?
You seem to just hate the nomad altogether dude.:p
lol bring it i will prolly be able to drops that you talk about even with my recovering elbow :P

not a mod, id keep it and laugh at it if it was me!

ok...ill only do it if u take photos of me doing it. and im not one to talk/blog/broadcast much either

Cool. I never had much luck with Malcolm. Some guys seem to love him and others don't. It is a brilliant shock. Maybe i'm too used to the better performance of the DW link Firebird than what the VPP2 Nomad could offer?:)
Deal. Menai A line.
Your dh machine. Full face. No excuses?
Oh is your rear wheel fixed yet? I got a nice wheel you can use if you dont :)

This could be good. We should make it that it has to be done on a bike with a front derailleur. Then we can all go for a spin around Menai afterwards. I haven't been there in ages.:)
this might actually turn out to be a good discussion! LOL set a date?

ok how about we do ur menai a line right after we do oxford falls?
but lets make it a little bit more interesting and do it on full rigid bikes edit?
edit...sorry single speed then
this might actually turn out to be a good discussion! LOL set a date?
it could be...we might both get banned and you might go start up your own forum...?
menai a line is yours not mine. I never done menai nor do i think my skill levels will be able to do it. Never ridden oxford falls but i saw a video and honestly it scares me :)
Rigid? how bout you come over with a baseball bat and hit my elbow because it would be the same thing lol. I dont ride fixed nor do i think fixed is for me. Next.
it could be...we might both get banned and you might go start up your own forum...?
I am not as good as justin in this regard, i doubt i will start my own forum. However i will still be riding somewhere outside of my own back yard.
ok...lets make the challenge a bit more fair taking into consideration your injuires...ride up obr then straight back down it?
nah its alright, i wont make excuses for my conditions. Injuries or not back wheel or not bikes or not if i cant do it i cant. If i dont have the skills to do a drop i dont. Simple as. No excuses made :P

dont waste your time arguing with me Jing...go buy your carbon blur, put some new parts on it, lift it over some logs at loftus, cut and paste a review on it, then sell it. U are just wasting ur time with a noob like me :D

Lol that hook line sinker crap again. Your repeated attempts at making fun of ppl only shows urself up. Honestly I reckon there is something inbalanced in ur world to repeatdly come to a forum u don't really pprefer to make some stuiped comments. 25th menai my Dslr ur foes les make it a fun weekend before dirt works!
i hate to break it to u but we cant use my foes...the rear wheel is in bad shape, can u bring ur trance instead
its only crap when u take the bait jing and this time i wasnt even having a go at anyone :) i just said i dont like the idea of a carbon nomad and u had to go spin all this red meat shit. im sorry jing...u failed here
Why ur the man of the show. I don't have my trance anymore. I have a rear wheel for u! 25th menai
Why ur the man of the show. I don't have my trance anymore. I have a rear wheel for u! 25th menai
ok...just make sure its a 160mm rear spacing
lol...can someone make this a sticky
Lol ur not going to come are u?? IM serious about the 25th btw
and im serious about my 160mm spacing
i dont understand why u got to chose the venue...i wanted to chose. :(
and why do we have to use my bike? i know it is the greatest DH bike ever made, but after reading your review on ur Marin(its that sold yet btw?), i think that bike might be better suited...plus my rear wheel is in bad shape
i hate to break it to u but we cant use my foes...the rear wheel is in bad shape, can u bring ur trance instead

Like I said if u can dish out crap for fullfaces then u better be able to take some redmeat bashing. What exactly is fail about that orther than ur failure to realise this point? Anyways I will leave u be for now as IM done beating the dead horse that is tai Bo because we all know u won't turn up for watever reason. If u do feel like going out for a ride u got my number and I will be more than happy to go riding with ya. Here's some clue participate properly on the forums, respect other members and people will respect u. Simple concept.
can i say "hook, line and sinker" one last time?
edit...F#$K it, my post will probably be deleted come tomorrow.
So we've all agreed on the white, right?
Thought it was black everyone agreed on....:p

I got my Intense through them, i just had it shipped to a mate that lives over there. :D
Give you a guide line for the price tho, i reckon it will be at least $au1000-1200 more here. My intense was $us2280 and the cheapest i could find it here was $3450(Big discount off the RRP from an awesome bike shop).
will certainly be looking for one of these if we go to the US at the end of the year :D
THe Question is Brad, Black or White?....hehe

White for me, looks alot like a rip off of the employee only Yeti 575s.
Syndicate colours are ok, but I would never ride it.
Black for me - with some red wheels! :cool:
how tall are you ben?
A bit over 5"11'
New SC? At least the paint looks nice.

u could be onto something else. slopestyle/4x machine. Looks like a close ratio road cassette at the back which further proves this.
edit ::
Minaar is running that new bike in the Sea Otter Dual Slalom. Think you guys might like it...
Apparently there is going to be a 5" travel version, or something similar.
It's a good way to keep the costs down. Use a Blur front end with a simple single pivot rear.
Possibly a 6" travel version as well?
