I just ordered one of these thanks in part to this review. I am really liking SC's new lineup with the longer cockpits -- a feature they have needed to implement for years prior. Thanks for the great review as usual, Vital.

Actually, they do. In Colorado, there is a dealership chain that offers the ability to choose and purchase a new car online and will drive it to your door. They're doing it to appease the market segment of new car buyers who are research heavy but dread the traditional dealership experience. I am in that market segment.* * Unfortunately, I cannot afford to buy cars new.

That's a dang fine little video man; a worthwhile watch. I'm just stoked there's someone else in the world who also uses two forks to eat cake.

Yeah, I love the level of bitching about "no 26." You know what a 27.5 fork feels like? It feels like a 26" fork that's one headset spacer taller.

I am genuinely surprised by this; he's 6'3" and the reach for a large Myst is 440mm.

That's his "I just finished a four pack of Monster and it's not even noon" face. If you've had the pleasure of meeting Evan, you know he works like a hummingbird. The copious Monster habit only enhances that trait.

RockShox makes 46 and 51 mm offset in 29r 120 and 140 travel forks, but the 51 is not generally stocked by shops and distributors. Who wrote that; Vital or Ibis? Because that's not true at all. Here's what QBP has as of tonight. Take your pick.

Wait, are you really complaining about 3+ minutes of exceptionally good riding because it was produced by a brand you are angry with for being too expensive? As far as marketing videos are concerned, that one had a ridiculously good riding to product placement ratio.

I'd say there were a dozen of townie firsts... no, bicycle firsts in that clip. Stand aside Danny MacAskill.

6/19/2015 1:17pm
It's true that lower travel Pikes need more tokens. There's a chart here that shows how many each fork can take: http://www.vitalmtb.com/photos/features/How-To-Get-The-Most-Out-Of-Your… That chart also shows the recommended number of tokens for each travel as red blocks. @tabletop84, RockShox suggests 0 tokens for your 26"/27.5" Pike 160mm. That's obviously not a rule, but a suggestion to help give you a baseline. I bring it up because if you prefer the feel of your fork with zero tokens, you aren't out of line. You can also chop the tokens in half if a full token is too much for you. That's...

6/17/2015 3:19pm
This is a good article and a good representation of the value of the Bottomless feature. This should enlighten a lot of folks who feel they can get more from their suspension. I want to add a pro tip: in slide #17 where the rider is using a socket to remove the top cap, that socket has had the chamfer on the inside edge of the socket lip machined off. If you use an off the shelf socket, the chamfer will prevent the top cap's hex from seating deep enough in the socket and top cap will be damage/stripped when...
