Buying once and crying once hits home. I recently bought a bike I thought was close enough... Then ended up buying the one I really wanted six months later. I could have just spent that half year playing around on my hardtail and saved the cash and hassle. Now I have N=(1 too many) and get to try to recoup my cost in this buyers market.

1/18/2024 12:40pm A new bike is a lot of effort. Not to speak of the terrors of selling your old frame to buy a new one plus sourcing whatever special parts you'll need to make your parts work. But having to get to know it all over again, figuring out how it rides, switching tires/bar/stem/etc and doing suspension setup. For me this...

Just to comment on the adjustment needing a 12mm. If you get an EXT shock in the US coming from Suspension Syndicate, the US EXT distributor and service center. The shock is provided with a small composite 3d printed tool that has a 12mm wrench and 4mm Allen key. Tool is tiny and weighs almost nothing, so no worries bringing it with even in a pocket.

Didn't want to go for Sagharo. Too easy I guess.

Would be interesting to see if anyone could manufacture a more nimble and poppy long travel enduro bike (yes they exist and it’s not an oxymoron!) with the Super drive… or if the high pivot requirement limits it to plow sleds.

This is a lot of talk from a brand who seems to go out of their way to not offer an XXL option.

This is all fine and dandy, but they are riding the same length chainstays? I know not everyone needs (or likes or wants) 462mm rear centers, but also many of us are done with 430 too…..and for pivot specifically, I friggin loved my pivots but stopped even considering then once I found a 450 to fit me so well, and then to discover that rear center length was something I was tuned into with my riding

This is my bike. I wanted a higher cockpit after all, with slightly smaller reach. Adding spacer underneath the stem, does exactly that.

Well the guy whose setup was used for this photo shoot I guess. Three spacers for a show bike seems like a lot.

Curious about the short chain and using the MRP SXG guide. Are you still running it this way? The SXG seems like a better option.

Can we talk about that BB height? It looks like negative drop. What was the design reasoning around that?

All external all the time. But the industry is going wireless and completely internal for brake hoses. I wouldn't be surprised to see bikes coming out in the near future that don't have any routing for the shifter and dropper.

Definitely for the dropper, not too fussed about the others being external as long as it's not under the top tube where I want to grab when I lift my bike.
