Bike Check: Mic Williams' WRP DH-01
Looks like a gusset to create a larger weld area from the seat tube to the pivot housing tube, open ended to keep the stress from traveling to the thin middle section of that tube.

First Ride: Sour's 32/29" Mega Mullet Trail Bike
I can change the travel on my Intend Samurai 32 from 130mm to 100mm to go from 29+" to 32" with very little change in geo.

First Ride: Sour's 32/29" Mega Mullet Trail Bike
Cornering traction is my biggest take away, insane grip that makes it easy to tighten up your line mid corner if you didn't setup wide enough. I've been running a fairly light tire (890g Maxxis Aspen AT) and I can see a burlier tire effecting slower speed maneuvering but at speed I don't feel any extra gyro effect comparing it to my 29er with the same tire.

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch
@LM-CZ: I find the V2 Dissector in max grip rolls pretty well, not fast but faster than my usual the DHR2.

Ventum Teases a 32" Full Suspension Mountain Bike Ahead Of Leadville 100
@11six: Wheelbase is 1166 for a medium with a 100mm fork. I used an angleset to try different HTA's as my usual is twisty and overgrown XC mixed with fireroads and settled on 67 degrees.
Only issue so far is with the increased diameter the leading edge of the front tire can get caught up in the brush on those tight switchbacks! The Vassago has 25mm more CS than my mullet so we shall see if that holds true.

Ventum Teases a 32" Full Suspension Mountain Bike Ahead Of Leadville 100
@11six: With the light (890g) tires I'm using there isn't really any more gyro effect than a mid weight 29er trail tire. I can see an issue with something like the new 32' Dissector @ 1170g. That said It's insane how much cornering traction is available with a 32" XC tire,

It looks like a carbon wrapped tube construction, kind of like a Calfee.

Intend offers that fork with a Rockshox Sid damper so a flight attendant should work.
