I've got plenty of hype but I'm not sharing any. Too excited!

On a more serious not, I'm honestly not sure if I'll be getting one. Whoever does will not be disappointed though!

I think they look terrible and Tr. is wrecking the theme of the build with adjustable travel. ridiculous. i hate it.

I just got her all built up and a shake down run. All I can say is single pivot is where its at. Now to start saving for the new fox 40 float.

I am running all the center ones right now. I might start playing with them shortly. I felt so comfortable on it out of the box, I almost don't want to mess with it. Do you have any recommendations for which chips I should try next?

How is the single crown with the 450?

To be honest I wouldn't know the difference between a dual crown and single crown. On the first ride it did feel very comfortable. It felt like I had been riding the bike for years. I dunno if that is because of the fork or just the geo of the frame. Once I save up enough and get a 40 Ill know better.

I have always run mine in slack mode. Since I got the 2013 frame, I've played with the chainstay length until i decided that the middle chip is the only decent length. I even went as far with the slackened out bike to buy an Angleset to slacken it another 1 degree. So i'm running the slack, low BB geo chip, and the middle chainstay chips. I love it like this, and its still super playful.

Hey guys
I'm 185cm (6'0~6'1) and can't decide size between M and L.
Need your advice, thank Smile

I'm 6'1 and I rode a large and loved it. But I have a motocross background so it felt more natural to me. If you like small bikes go for a medium if you like longer bikes. Large for sure.

Id say go for a large. I'm 175cm and based off of the geo of other bikes I've rode, I'd even consider a large.

Go large. I'm on the cusp of a small/medium and wish I had sizes up. The bikes run small

I'm 5'10" and I ride a large. I also come from a moto background and I sized up for comfort. I like riding larger bikes and my large feels more like a medium on other manufacturers.
