FWIW, I came to this realization back when I had my first generation Transition Smuggler with a 160 (gasp) fork on it. That bike was f'ing awesome. It was way too heavy, but it showed me what an XC/trail bike could/should be. To date, that remains one of my favorite...more

GRRRR. DH casing with MaxxTerra or at least double down with MaxxTerra. Looks awesome.

Thanks folks ... still remember meeting Spomer at a NORBA so many years ago and knowing instantly I’d met someone who got this whole MTB thing. Years of Littermag then Vital later and that still holds true! Cheers for the good times on this journey of bikes!

You could try, but unless you have a Tig, you’d be wasting your time and might hurt yourself. I bet carbon fantastic plastic bars make good kindling.

You could get a Geometron G1 which is capable of manifesting the same geometry or a longer or shorter rear end, higher or lower bottom bracket and different travel amounts depending on how you set it up. Also, the G1 has the most advanced MTB shock available and it's a coil.

Great review! I had the chance to try a Geometron with Paul Aston in Morzine, down Plenay. And even though it was set up with the short travel option (160mm) I felt this could replace a DH bike. Even though I only meassure 6'1", I would even prefer to XL version.

Added a comment about feature Exclusive Audio Interview - Martin Maes on His Non-Intentional Anti-Doping Violation
It's BS that he's been told by the UCI that the doctors could've used something else. From my research Probenecid is a completely acceptable resort aside from IV, which I've been told, by a doctor, it would have been over the top for the situation at hand. The UCI is basically saying he should have pulled out of the race and potentially missed the first round of the year, all for something they admit to seeing used as only therapeutic, but still not granting the TUE.

Added reply in a thread EWS Doping Thread Disappearance
The banned substance was administered by volunteer doctors at the NZ Enduro, two weeks prior to the first EWS in Rotorua. This has nothing to do with the EWS or their staff. The doctors admit to trying to check but were unable. It's not a newly banned ... more »
