"If anyone else is interested, it worked just fine for me, and I'm sure it isn't recommended by anyone officially, but boy does it work well out on the trails. So much so that I downsized rotors, which I've never done before." I ran the same setup for ... more »

I was 3+ years in and nachos after a late night out ended me. Now I basically only eat cheese. All the cheese. Good tip! I will take out my pocket cheese and see if I can do better on Strava.

And Blake wants to know "How many flats this week Noah?"

What is on the vegan quarantine menu other than broccoli? Will dropping dairy make me faster on the climbs?

First of all... something must have slipped through the cracks, because we never want to leave anyone hanging. I'm sorry if you did't get taken care of at the time, but send us a message again if there is anything we can do for you now. We happen to ... more »

It's definitely not designed as a "mullet" bike but we don't discourage people from tinkering and experimenting. It won't void your warranty or anything. But some things to keep in mind... the wheel radius / axle height if the 29 wheel is already about ... more »

If you are having some issues with your paint we recommend giving us a shout directly, warranty@transitionbikes.com, we're always happy to take a look and see what we can do to help out. --Sam

The Patrol has been a popular bike in our lineup since it was release and it isn't going away, but no new version is on the immediate horizon. --Sam

You might want to pop an email to info@transitionbikes.com and we could get more of a dialog going about what you want out of the fork that it's not doing and how to achieve it with setup. --Sam

Not Kevin... but same leg length and I'm not as skinny as a rail. I have been really stoked on the Ride NF pants. My socks show a bit, but not too high water, and the rest of the fit and feel is perfect for me.

Do you have a vegan option? What about fresh oysters at a demo in Sedona? Cam packed them down in tiny cooler inside a bigger cooler on a long haul 2 day drive. They were fresh 3 days out of the water. People were very confused.... jajaja.

We know a lot of people are looking for alloy options, and it's something you will see more of from us eventually. We can't share any specific timing or details yet, but we hear you, and we aren't ignoring the category. We're a small company and when ... more »

All metric shocks in 205mm are the same base shock with internal spacers to modify between 57.5, 60, 62.5 and 65mm stroke. It is possible to convert any one stroke to the other, but it requires a full rebuild of the damper. As an OEM all the travel configurations ... more »

The original Sentinel had anti rise numbers that varied from 30-40% through the travel and the new Sentinel is a hair over 50% the whole way through the travel. I would not focus on any one number too obsessively, since everything works together and ... more »

Everything is a battle of millimeters and our carbon frames are already up to a 37mm OD in order to have the material needed on the frame side. If you increase the seatpost size you have to make that up somewhere else. And we are not having any trouble ... more »

Yeah... the mullet is totally poppin for sure!

DM for pics. Lets just say I cut it myself and I can't see the back of my head. So... The EPS and latex process basically takes the (now virtually standard) EPS process a bit further by allowing for a tighter radius in the mold. That helps us do what ... more »

No reason at all really. We have not had much Shimano on the builds in the past few years, but we had Shimano spec bikes in the past and might again one day. What do you want? I will assume XTR only, right? --Sam

We focus on keeping things simple, effective and durable whenever possible and we think the geo is dialed as is. There is a lot going on with that back wheel and we like to keep the connection nice and solid. --Sam
