#1. When you get it, if you look at the rear shock the wrong way it starts to leak

If you're talking about the Rock Shox Monarch........then 100% yes. Mine on my SodaS started leaking in 2 weeks from brand new. Such garbage....

you'd think if they all do that rock shox wouldve caught it, or at least warranted it

NS Soda owners I am hoping you can give me some input on how you like your bikes and a general review. I am hoping to get a Soda frame (26") and build it up as an over built do everything bike. any help or advice on purchasing would be great... I am 6' tall so taller riders sizing experience would also be appreciated.

You talking about getting the Soda Slope or Soda FR?
woops sorry freeride.

NS Soda
@croyx16
I have had my Soda for a while now and it works well as both a trail/am and freeride/park bike. I'm around 6'1 and it fits well as a trail bike still. I run a 40mm stem as well. The only thing I swap for longer rides is the seat post. I'd recommend a longer travel fork then I have though. I'd like it even more with a little slacker front

I only had mine for a week but i deffenetly like it way more than my old elssworth ID. The soda is so rigid and well balanced! At least this is the 2016 model. i don't know how much they changed though Smile
It has 27,5" wheels though.. i think it would be even funnyer for me(im' only 175cm) with 26 inch.
But either way it's a f*cking confidence boost with this aggressive geometry and massive fork legs of the x-fusion! It feels like a tank that will eat anything!

Just my first thought of it so far..(hoping the damper won't die to fast :/)

Sounds good! I am sure it will only get better too the more that you ride it.

Bit of a weird set up you have there, just used for cruising about im guessing?

Really like that frame though.

how strange would it be to run 26" wheels on the 27.5 frame? has anyone done it? it would be a stop gap measure while my wallet attempts to recover.

also thanks for the input everyone.

would that be possible? I would rather run the 26" frame and 26" wheels but I don't want to have a frame that only runs a dying wheel size. but I suppose keeping up with the trends shouldn't be my main concern when I already know I love 26" wheels

Well if it's a "dying trend" buy some 27.5". I like 26". Plus if you put 26" on a 27.5" your geo will be effected. Plus those 27.5" already have low bottom brackets.

fair enough I will go with the 26 frame when I have money again. every time I finaly get enough money together for the frame something pops up and I have to empty my account on stupid stuff like rent or food...but soon
