If I bought a medium 2013 glory frame, would all my large 2014's components fit on the bike? Would like to have two frames, one medium for jibbin' and learning tricks, and one large for when i want to be more aggressive and say maybe get into racing next year.

Im not going to rush into anything, but when i save up some money I wanted to buy a cheap used voltage or status for learning steezy whips and 360s, before taking it to the big bikes. If my large bikes components will fit on a medium, id rather do that, because I liked the way the medium glory felt much better than the large status felt. The medium glory didnt have that "might hit my knees" feel of the status, atleast for my size, and it felt lighter.

Frame size has nothing to do with components long as BB and all the measurement fits it'll work.

Ive been riding my 2013 Glory for just over 2 months now. Way nicer than the old geo.

Swapped out the rockshox for 2013 Fox and the X0 carbon cranks for Saint and renthal bars (not pictured)

Custom 2013 Glory 0

Just wondering,
Why did you swap the SRAM xo for the saint cranks,was there any issues that you found with the SRAM cranks?

Anyone notice the top mount bush on their rear shock wearing ?? mine has a little bit of play in it not sure if its normall ?

It might be something to do with the design of the frame. There's no lower bushing so all rotation of the shock ends is in the top, which may cause it to wear quicker. I rode my Glory 4 times before selling it, and I had to replace the top shock mount bolt cos it had bent already. Maybe they use cheapy hardware.

That's something for me to check. I haven't noticed any wear and tear on the bike yet.. I still think it's the best bike I've ever ridden haha

Whitey your 0 is looking sick!

My changes to date are a new rear rim, spokes, Zee cranks and mech, Saint M820 shifter and brakes with braided hose. I have a Spank 777 bar on the way, then it will be perfect.

Any of you guys had time on an Rc4 and the new model vivid in your Glory? I currently have the Rc4 but I'm tempted to get the new Vivid. Would just like to hear feedback if anyone has tried both.

Do it, I havent tried the rc4 but the vivid out performs every shock I've tried so far.

Q for any one who has a glory, when your riding, is your bike loud as hell? New frame, had one of the 2010s and then was on a transition for a year. My memory fails me, but i do sort of remember my last giant sounding rickety as hell as well. Reason i ask is I'm noticing a weird noise in my front end, I'm just putting it down to frame noise from the hydroformed pop can tubes, but i figured id ask.
