new design, without words…

Arne Tilgen, Ride the Lobster winner, tested the Triton 26″ triple Muni / Schlumpf in winter  konditions. A wide tire, stiff light frame and the schlumpf hub is an excellent setup for the mixture of technical lines and road passages

It was -7° celsius and we had around 30cm firn snow  near hamburg . I rode my Triton 26″ and Arne tested the 26″ Triton Schlumpf, dressed with his kite surf life jacked because of the temperature 🙂 .  Arne is one of the fastest 36″ riders worldwide and he enjoyed to race in top gear over snow and ice… I followed I some distance. Furthermore we had much fun doing some downhill at the slopes of „Harburger Berge“ landing some „super hero flights“ in the soft snow.

Thanks to Arne for visiting Hamburg and Muniman and Elke for joining this wonderful muni sunday afternoon.

This weekend I tested my new setup, Triton triple Frame, 26″, Large Marge, 3″ Gazza and Schlumpf hub!

It was an amazing ride in fresh fallen snow and although I got some experience with my 36″ Schlumpf I was surprised what high speed you can reach with a 26″ x 3″ Schlumpf!

There was no problem to hold up the turning moment with the titanium bearing retainer. The high stiffness of the frame forces all energie in speed 🙂

The 165mm KH dual cranks were a bit to long for my opinion so I will replace them with 150mm cranks, same length I use on the non Schlumpf 26″ and test again. pics will follow…

we expect to present the new Triton 20″ Trial & Street frame at the EUC in Köln ( http://www.e-u-c.info/winter10/ )

and of cause you will find there the Triton Triple Muni Frames…
