It's finally arrived! New croix de fer 20

[Wafer]

It's taken over 3 months of patience due to fork shortages and had a bit of a false start getting it today but I finally have it!

New Genesis croix de fer 20, I got the fork upgraded to Genesis' own carbon jobby and a set of hope tech xc 29er wheels, which true to their reputation are VERY clicky!

 

[Jerry Atrik]

Very nice , love the colour .

 

[Osprey]

Nice looking machine. You'll love it. Now go out there and get it dirty.

 

[Gert Lush]

That's a looker!

 

[fossyant]

Looks good...

 

[Mrs M]

Very smart, fab colour

 

[Wafer]

Just in case anyone was wondering how clicky those hope hubs are....

Not sure I mind it but even expecting it i was still surprised how loud it was!

Great looking bike but bloody hell it is noisy, at least folks will hear you coming, save you having to use your bell .

 

[steveindenmark]

I like that, it looks great and I like the sound. I wish I had a need for one but I don't.

Was trying to remember who it was that was interested in pics and stuff when I got it, worked out it was @EasyPeez.

 

[Jerry Atrik]

It got a great review on road cc today .

 

[Pale Rider]

Very smart, and it's got proper, deep mudguards.

 

[Wafer]

Yes, quite pleased with the guards, told lbs I want a proper fitted set but didn't specify anything particular so they did well there! Sks Longboards according to the receipt.

Pondering changing tyres already, the 35c x'plor ush it comes with are probably a bit over the top for my needs. Looking at something like 32c marathon supreme's I think.

Marathon Supremes were factory fitted to my trekking bike, they lacked grip on cinder tracks and light mud.

Now replaced by Marathon Pluses which do offer that little bit more grip in those conditions.

No detectable difference on asphalt.
