Iago Garay and Mark Scott are ripping Santa Cruz Bronsons at the Andes Pacifico. Their build is similar, but they have some subtle differences, too.

I didn't vote because I'm in between. There should be an Other option. Big ring, DH casing. Long High. (I'm super tall and their frames probably don't work for me.) I didn't know that spindle length was a thing. 200/180.

Fine, I'll vote...

Longer stem? By what, a c*nt hair? Slightly smaller ring, slightly bigger front rotor... Vote is pink vs black... Voted black.

Big Bird,

Thank you for reminding me about spindle length. Crazy enough, it matters. I just got the new Mallet E and I now remember they have a shorter spindle which is good for narrowing the stance for tight enduro tracks. I was getting lots of rub and now I know why! I need to swap for the DH spindles!

I have DH spindles on my Mallet E's and its the best thing you will ever do. Before I was running the cleats in a terrible inboard position to eradicate rub on the crank arms. Now they are more central and feel absolutely peakin.
