you're going to need a lot more clearance if you ever find any mud on your trails, not just clearing the link by 1mm. I had a Bronson v2 with poor rear tire height clearance but it rubbed on the chainstay bridge. result was the same: better never find mud, or you're walking. I'd use a much shorter tire.

They are quite tall. On my RXF38m.2, clearance at the arch is pretty limited, especially when running a mudguard. The RRP Proguard didn't have enough clearance to run it safely, so I have found the Mudhugger is the best for clearance on that fork. On my '26 Marzocchi Z1 there is ample clearance though.

Romy 2.5 will give you more room for sure Tachy not sure, I installed a few now by it seems more aggressive than the 2.4 older one

Yeah I don’t get it, shifts beautiful, great ergonomics, no clutch, like it was designed for bike paths

Renthal’s DHC pedals

I feel like I can hear the derailleur just by looking at it 🙊

Jesus, sorry I asked about a coil shock on the new Tallboy.

Running less sag makes a bike track poorly on account of losing contact with the ground anytime there’s an indent the wheel has to go over. You see the same exact issue with people lifting vehicles to drive off road. They throw preload collars on and all of the sudden they feel the truck is harsher. The spring rate hasn’t gotten stiffer so why does it feel harsher? It’s losing contact with the ground and causing the chassis to pitch to allow a wheel to drop into a hole as soon as a hole is deeper than the amount of...

Yes but have you seen a sc frame vs an intense frame? Definitely worth the extra money

Few more days now on the Deg DF including a couple of days shuttling. I like it and it's made a noticable difference to the ride. The DEG hubs are noisy and for some reason they seem to have got louder with the DF installed. I don't know if it's that other stuff is quieter or just fresh service but.... If quiet hubs is on your wishlist e-13 might be the way to go....

I test rode a tallboy 6 over the weekend (5mi / 600' vert). It is really, really good. I have a ht4 that I love and I love vpp for longer travel bikes. I don't miss it on the new tallboy in the slightest. It goes uphill as well as the previous version with more traction when climbing square ledges and loose over hard... and goes downhill easily 30% better then the previous version. It is half way in between the tallboy 5 and my hightower 4 with regards to descending. Honestly, it's so good and so well rounded that...

That’s why you don’t buy transitions and buy Santa Cruz lol

Remember the good old days when we talked about bikes on here?

You mean chainstays?

Just fitted a DF hub to my Patrol. It's in the 10deg setting and it's made a noticable difference through some of the rough trails we have here (Canadian Rockies). My previous bike was a V1 Druid and whilst I didn't miss too many things from it when I moved to the Patrol I did notice the increased feedback at the pedals. I think the DF hub has certainly helped in that regard. I debated Sidekick but my LBS had this already in stock and I had DT wheels. I can see myself ordering a Sidekick for my better halfs...
