@chunter: having ridden your mom, I can confirm that mother’s are definitely fast.

Brace yourselves... the “Sam Hill, you fing legend” and “flat pedals win medals” comments are coming.

Finally geometry that Vernon Felton won’t whine about

It's ok when it's in a three way

But but but Santa Cruz said the Nomad is NOT enduro. Go with the Bronson they said. The Nomad is #freeride they said.

Great now even lubes are coming in boost specific. I definitely need a new bike.

@ashmtnadv: glad you are enjoying building and riding flow trails! I just prefer more natural trails. A lot of trails I ride aren't "handmade" and benchcut, more clearing the brush and finding good lines/routes. Why do I need to explain my contribution to you? If you want to prove your trail work prowess we've got thousands of downed trees in my neck of the woods and erosion like you can't imagine. And as a small town with a lot of out of towner riders we end up with a crew of about five people maintaining trails hundreds ride and more hike. A big issue we have is motos destroying the trails by going up them and then causing erosion in the winter. Sierra Ntl Forest doesn't really care to help maintain or patrol (as the motos aren't supposed to ride these trails). But it's a massive district for them and the rangers so mtbrs pay the price. And our local IMBA chapter isn't helpful at all. They all come up and Ride our trails on weekends but maintain only the one (and I mean ONE trail) in their backyard. Anywho good luck with your trails. Didn't mean to offend.

@endlessblockades: thats pretty bigoted, especially for someone from SF, not very tolerant.

Never heard of either

I have a DHF 2.5 3C MaxTerra in 29" and it rolls so slow. Switching back to a Hans Dampf with TrailStar and Snake Skin was a night and day difference on speed going down and effort going up. Disappointing because the traction was awesome. the 2.3 is really narrow too which would be a better size. Probably gonna try the Bloody Mary next :)
