Review: Revel Rascal V2 - The Live Wire Trail Bike
@twonsarelli: sounds like a perfect setup.....I have a 170 Lyric on mine with Hayes Dominions but run Noble XC wheels with some Ardent / Ardent Race off the XC bike, its Alum frame and it's 33-35 lbs as is. I had it built up as a enduro race bike but started to transition to something I could pedal more and it morphed into Up-duro setup it is now. Do you prefer the 36 on the std. Stumpy? What is the travel set at?

Review: Revel Rascal V2 - The Live Wire Trail Bike
@twonsarelli: hah - funny, I have a Stumpy Evo now and I friggin' love it for many of the same reasons, I run it in the high BB position with steeper HTA and it reminds me a lot of that Yeti too....but I may downsize to the std. Stumpy to get a bit more sportiness back.
I have it built up with lightweight carbon wheels, lighter trail tires and generally a lighter build but I think a std. Stumpjumper with a light build if I could get it under 30 lbs would be ideal.

Review: Revel Rascal V2 - The Live Wire Trail Bike
@thekaiser: Not to mention what the all the top EWS guys were racing over 5 years ago which were HA's around 65-66, I'm sure a 2017 Sam Hill would be just as dominant today as he was back then.

Review: Revel Rascal V2 - The Live Wire Trail Bike
@twonsarelli: I rented one of those in Whistler years ago and agree, it was the best all around bike I've ever ridden, rode the valley trails with big climbs and did some park stuff, did at all, poppy, sporty, climbed great.

Review: Commencal's Meta Power SX Signature Packs a Punch for the Price
@thenotoriousmic: not sure what Emtbs you are talking about but Class 1 Emtb's don't spin tires like that.

Jesse Melamed & Jack Menzies' Canyon Bikes Stolen from Team Van Just Outside of Vienna
@ATXZJ: can't argue with that, great book "Coddling of the American Mind..." hits on a lot of that, which is not just the US, but younger generations in general.
Excellent advice - never lose context of prior generations and I bet your wifes grandmother would laugh at the crap kids get spun up with today.

@hgardner: steeling a fleet full of bikes could very well of effected the livelihood of Jesse, the person stealing doesn't get to make that judgment call morally. What about stealing some tools out of a truck, only to find out construction apprentice spent his last $ buying so he could learn a trade...there are layers to this.

@Saucycheese: wasn't ever about race until you and homeboy injected it into the conversation, strangely.

@Struggleteam: this aggression will not stand man....
But yes, simplicity is king, no argument there.....maybe I am just used to 4T but don't notice the engine braking at all anymore although I had a 21 350 Kailub Russel that got tuned by Twisted and it barely had any engine braking.
