CrossWorx Announces SRAM UDH on Dash & Lite Models
@slovenian6474: Yes I forgot the word "dropout" before pivot in my post above. The large main pivot and CNC'd uprights on the rear triangle result in some excellent tracking through the rough. Or were you trying to disparage single pivots in classic pb style haha? Many ride very well these days and the linkage design on this frame contributes some end stroke progression.

CrossWorx Announces SRAM UDH on Dash & Lite Models
Have had a Dash 290 with custom geometry (63.5 head angle, longer head tube, 530 reach, 450 seat tube) for 1.5 years now - it absolutely rips. Can run air or coil in the rear, running a Formula Mod shock myself. Love this bike and suspension design, the workmanship is impeccable, the CNC bits are beautiful, cable routing is a joy, and the stiffness of the rear triangle with no pivots has been impressive to say the least. No stupid trunnion mount shocks like everyone else seems to be designing is a win as well. Highly recommend Crossworx!

Commencal Meta AM XL w/ EXT Storia V3

$2200 CAD
Selling my Commencal 2021 Meta AM polished finish frame after a 1.5 years use. Frame has been sitting since June 2022 when my slightly longer custom frame arrived and I'm needing to clear up some space. Great frame with no mechanical issues other than likely needing a bearing change (original bearings). Originally intended to change the bearings and rebuild this frame but realized I do not have the time and it's better to pass this on to someone who'll possibly ride it more... Including a free full set of bearings from Commencal with purchase. 520mm reach 460mm seat tube length 433mm chainstay 63.6 degree HA / 78.5 degree seat angle Ground keeper frame protection Shimano BB, seat clamp, dropper and deraileur cables included $2200 CAD Frame w/ EXT Storia 425 lb. spring $1600 CAD Frame without shock Would prefer a local sale and based in Vancouver, BC. Cheers and message with any questions!

Nicolai Launch Gearbox Equipped Saturn 14 GPI Trail Bike
Speaking from experience, you do get used to it quickly. Then when you go back to trigger shifters you realize how much more inefficient they actually are in terms of thumb/hand movement.

First Ride: 2021 Norco Shore - Freeride's Alive
@Daledenton: In this sense "need" was meant as more of a preference. I've been riding around lately on a 435mm chainstay bike in XL and, while agile, it is significantly less stable than the 455mm I had previously. Other geometry numbers are fairly comparable. I will never understand why, when designing a frame, you wouldn't offer multiple axle positions that move the brake mount. Then everyone could decide for themselves. Too easy huh bike industry?

First Ride: 2021 Norco Shore - Freeride's Alive
A rider on an XL frame definitely needs 450mm chainstays. Props to Norco for steepening seat angles and longer stays on bigger frames, they've really figured it out.

Review: AXS Rocker Paddle Upgrade Kit
I am as well. Not pulling a cable would make the gripshift version so smooth. Not holding my breath though, SRAM hasn't put much effort into gripshift lately.

Starling's New 170mm 29er With a Gearbox - Bespoked Show 2019
@chachmonkey: Have had a Vyron for nearly 3 years now. Have experimented to see how long a full charge would last, got over a year before it needed it. Great bit of kit and easy to swap between bike
