So that was all illegal trail, right? Never ridden in Marin, but I was under the impression it wasn't that awesome.

@danimal - Moving forward from late 2014 e*thirteen switched over bearing suppliers and updated the BB design. The new BB will long outlast the old ones. As always, they have a 1 year no-questions asked warranty on all bearing products. The issue with the old BB's was mainly inconsistency. Some lasted a LONG time and others not so much. One other thing to note: BB92 systems w/30mm spindle cranks leave very little space for BB bearings. for 2015, e*thirteen is using a new double row bearing that is much better than the old single row. Some of the Hutchinson UR...

The trilobial polygon interface was good enough for wwII tanks, and its good enough for me. It is pretty much the shit, i've had my LG1 off and on at least a hundred times and it still has an audible pop when the crank arm is pulled. It does require more material at the taper than a splined interface making the spindle heavier, but oh well.

Acadian, for some reason I cant reply to your last comment. Anyways - yes, for me it is more than enough for all day rides. I'm a bit of a minimalist for rides under 2 hours but for anything over that I like to be prepared and the 10L gives me plenty of space. I also like that when you pack it full, it does not feel like you have a floppy tumor growing out of your back.

@Vital - Curious about your opinion on the relatively conservative 25mm inner rim width (technically with hookless beads that pushes it even narrower)? Seems like the trend is way wider these days....esp for DH. (Or maybe that is a small minority making a lot of noise?) Thoughts?
