She's definitely dirty! Enduro fork seals seem good but a bit sticky. Stickiness improved significantly when I applied Finish Line teflon lube to the stanchions. I hear the Enduro seals need to break in a bit. I had just popped them in last week-end. To be fair, I only rode them once for a few runs before buddy slammed on his brakes in front of me and sent me wide off a drop onto a rock. That ended my day and annihilated the early week. Then I blew my shoulder this week on my Reign pinning into a routine corner. I won't have any long-term views on those Enduro fork seals for a while at this rate. They were easy to install, cheaper than Rockshox seals, and got good reviews. It was worth giving them a try.

Hey bud, I just bought the same bike, and was wondering, How are you liking yours? And are those tyres tubeless? Because I HATE the michelin I have on mine.. As I had Minion on my older bike...

Congrats . . . this thing's a burly monster! I'm really starting to get a feel for it in the corners and have been railing turns and berms hard lately. It leans really well and is super stable when you flick it from side to side because of the low center of gravity. Rear suspension is pretty plush though you'll have to spend some time dialing it in for your tastes. I haven't met any Glory riders who have a common consensus on rear suspension set-up. Don't be afraid to throw a few dollars at a couple of different spring weights. It's key. I'm on a 300 lb/in. spring for 155 lbs to achieve about 31% sag. Some people say they ride best at 40%, other say they do best at 25%. It's your call. This bike also jumps like a champ. Really stable, no nasty rear end kicking into over-rotation. Wheels are Mavic 823 tubeless, regular 2.5" Minion DHF 3C front, regular 2.5" High Roller DH 3C rear. Awesome tires. They hook up like mad in dirt and tacky mud. They hold a reasonable line in mud but they're not mud tires. Glory DH is awesome. Get out there and pin it!

I wasn't hoping on a big full review.. but that makes me happy! I guess i'm gonna have to go with the same spring weights as I absolutely want to be on the 30% sag line. And I weigh 150 lbs all dressed up! hahaha! And it defenatly rails in corner. The rear suspension is all dialed, Do you have the same probleme as me, like to plug the air-pump, you can only do it by getting the shock off?

Yeah the Schraeder valve access is total PITA. I hate it. There's no good way to deal other than perhaps a prosthetic on your pump (worked for a while) or monkey fingers. You'd think they could move some of the cross-brace members under the glory hole to facilitate this access. Shouldn't be a problem for 2010 I suppose.
