    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    Yah, I get what you are saying, that is what is really weird about it. It looks like that from the outside it is tapered but is straight on the inside.

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I don't think so on the NCM. The headset of the frame would need to have an adapter you can take out to enable a larger tube which mine didn't. The space is too narrow for the tapered. If you have a frame that accommodates a taper you can put an adapter for a straight tube because it is smaller...

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    Are you sure, the taper looks wider than the straight pipe so how would it fit? Thanks!

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I had my local bike shop buy it, see image. You may be able to get it for a lower price online. I bought a 27.5" as recommended by the store. Most bikes currently have tapered head pipes on the forks but the NCM is straight (old school) so that is why there aren't many choices. If you do...

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    Hi Dunksalot, I ride off of the 56 too. Yes width is 2.5 but it hasn't been an issue. I ride over by Black Mountain sometimes which has all kinds of jagged rocks, but the Assagai/Mr. Tuffy combination has prevented any flats. I just hit something riding and broke my derailleur so I am in the...

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I don't think the NCM Moscow is great for mountain biking without some changes. I ended up making several changes to use it as a mountain bike and it works well. First off, the front fork is really not great, it is basically a low-end spring shock. I ended up replacing it with a RockShox...

    Fork 101

    The fork is a straight tube which limits your choices. I ended up replacing it with a RockShox ReconRLR which is one of the few that would fit. I also ended up putting on some heavy-duty mountain biking tires, Maxxis Assegai Wide trim 3C/TR - 27.5. Many would say the NCM rims are not not wide...

    Off roading

    I don't think the NCM Moscow is great for off-roading. I ended up making several changes to use it as a mountain bike and it works well. First off, the front fork is really not great, it is basically a low-end spring shock. I ended up replacing it with a RockShox ReconRLR which is one of the few...
