 WHY A 9MM!!! While every other company is using 15mm, specialized continues to use 9mm on some many of their bikes. After using a 15mm, 9mm seems like a flexy piece of poo. Sick bike otherwise though

 It's not really a 9mm, its like 12mm lol.. Srsly though.

 Haha ya it's definitely better than a standard 9mm but 15mm is still going to blow it away. I just don't see the reasoning behind not using a 15mm axle. It's hardly heavier. Even many xc race bikes use them now, such as giants 21lb full suspension xc race bike

 The higher end model of this uses a 15mm.

 Oh ok. How capable did you find your trek? I'm looking into an all mountain bike and I'm not really sure how light or heavy I want to go. I can't decide between a 160mm travel in the low 30's or something 28ish lbs that is 140-150 travel with a 32 fork

 My Trek was pretty capable. I liked it.. the newer models are beefier but I'd get a bigger fork for it.

 Ok so you found the 32 to be lacking? I may even try the cannondale claymore. 180mm is more than I want but with the 110mm mode on the rear shock and the 140-180mm talas up front, it may be a pretty versatile bike. The lowest end model is 32 lbs so it's not heavy either

 That don't sound bad either.

 No it doesn't. Reign X0 would be the ultimate bike IMO but I'm already getting a 2011 glory so I can't do that

 Well I work at a Giant/ Cannondale dealer and I can only get one bike per company per year.

 surprised the 15mm thru axle not yet a 'must have' in that type of bike, still, quite like the DT's alternative to standard QR's.

 How solid does it feel? Like, noticeably better than your stanard 9mm QR? Or is it just hype?

 It is stiffer than the 9mil, but I just ordered a new fork. Need hubs to get it installed.

 Oh nice, what did ya get? I'd be looking at this bike a lottttt more seriously if it had at least a 15mm axle.
