Following in the footsteps of the Blur LT's redesign earlier this
year, the Nomad is the latest recipient of SCB's next generation VPP. The redesigns are as follows:
- Revised links and VPP shock rates
- Grease ports in lower link
- Carbon fiber upper link
- All-new link hardware
- Shorter chainstays
- Redesigned front triangle
- ISCG 05 mount
The new linkage design features 15mm diameter alloy axles bolting directly into the frame that are locked in place with ultra-trick collet heads. These control preload on the angular contact bearings in the lower link, which are in turn easily lubed up
via the grease ports in the link. Each frame comes with a grease gun. The upper link is molded carbon fiber. These changes result in vastly improved weather resistance, longer intervals between servicing, much easier user serviceability
(lower link can be removed without having to take the cranks off), and improved chassis rigidity.
The old Nomad defied easy categorization. It spanned the gap between heavy duty long travel trail riding and aggressive terrain high performance abuse and found friends at either end of the spectrum. This redesign muddies attempts to pigeonhole the bike even further. It's lighter and more responsive, but at the same time stronger and more stable. The territory that the Nomad calls home has grown in size...
Available late October, in the following colors - black, white, red,
yellow, lime green, liquid blue, ano green and ano slate. Of course we will have the bike in stock once available so keep checking the site for details!

Following on from the sucess of our previous night rides at Dalby Forest, North Yorks, we will shortly be arranging more rides. Further details will be announced shortly so keep checking this space for when they will take place!
We usually meet at 7pm at the visitors centre at dalby or 5 0' clock at the shop. Ride length is around 2 hours depending on conditions. Please feel free to join us, all we ask is that you are self sufficient, i.e. bring your own lights, at least one spare inner tube, a pump, wind/waterproof/seal skin socks etc.
The aim is to have a decent ride, a good crack, and a beer at a local pub afterwards! If you do not own a high powered front light we may be able to help out and lend you one for the evening (there are very limited numbers of demo lights so please phone the shop first to check availibility).
