That was all expected, BUT WHEN??!?!?!?! Been waiting on a warranty Megatower frame since December 2020, so would be cool if it could turn into a new model

Thats odd. Santa cruz offered me a replacement megatower last year when I broke my hightower LT frame. They had them in stock.

Flip chip… what you mean another one? Already comes with two of them. Has any actually seen one, or a dealer photo??

I wished they would stop with that nonsense. I don't want to have to compromise my seat tube angle to get the headtube angle I want. Doesn't everyone just run it in low and leave it there? I have never even considered running it in high.

I run mine in high to help avoid pedal strikes and that works great for me.

Yeah i think the ability to switch positions for more snappy handling is cool especially if it was my only bike, but i do understand wanting the slackest head angle paired with steepest seat angle.

I used to switch mine to high for big pedalling days, I think I noticed a SLIGHTLY better pedaling position. Anymore, eh screw it

I'm still trying to find out some real info on the hi/lo setting with the flip chip. I know how the geometry chages and all that but still cannot really get my head around which should I use. I'm mainly riding at bike parks so not really interested on climbing abilities.

Santa Cruz already said everything was going to UDH, which means no chainstay flip chips.
