Review: The Quarry Rage Bait 32" Hardtail
Headed by the Department of Redundancy Department? Right around the corner from the ATM machines? :)
Regarding the bike - the shortest available top tube length is 637mm?
The bike looks rad but I can't wrap my head around the geometry, it's just so different.
To me is seems like the smallest size on offer would ride roughly like a true size large.

Vertical 6-Bike Rack Review: Thule Revert vs. Velocirax Max vs. Yakima HangTight
I recently bought a Khyber and was torn between it and the Thule.
They're almost opposite approaches. Thule has creature comforts but kinda ugly, the Khyber is apocalypse proof and beautiful (as bike racks go) but barebones.
Ultimately I decided that most of these powdercoated racks get crusty and weathered after a few seasons, so function and looks degrade. The Khyber racks I see around, all basically look new regardless of how old they are.
To me they're more the spiritual equivalent to a 1Up but vertical.

First Ride: The Telepathy Opus - 180mm Travel and a Constant Wheelbase
@jpb1227: Yes, what I'm saying is the stack should be even higher. We shouldn't need 40mm rise and 30mm of spacers.

I get that 658mm stack seems high on paper, but with 40mm bars and a sizeable set of spacers underneath... are we sure the head tube shouldn't be longer....? I just feel like that's the universe trying to give you a hint. When the frame is totally custom anyways.... Why not give the larger size a 150mm head tube?

Check Out: Very Light Backswept Bars, A High-Rise Stem & The Dakine Slayer Helmet
Or run lower rise bars... If it's too high with say, 10 or 20mm rise bars, then just run a normal stem and higher rise bars?

First Ride: The 2027 Scott Spark RC Keeps the Shock Hidden and Gets Even Lighter
Time marches on bud. The "best in the world" for anything will change over time.
Not saying it's not a somewhat silly claim, but your premise is flawed. That said, one could argue that "best in the world" was likely as-described by Nino at that time, which probably makes it as valid a claim as any bike manufacturer could make. :)

Agreed, I actually think the giant was my favorite, which is not something I ever thought I'd say haha.

SRAM's Updated Ochain is More Durable and Less Expensive
@Kilian1b15Gt: That part of my comment was with regards to the article, as mike noted that's the main benefit *he* sees.

Yeah, in my mind these devices make the most sense on ebikes anyways, where technical climbs are not won or lost based on ratcheting the cranks to the same degree because you can lean on the motor to power through in a taller gear.
Personally I'll just stick to single speed. What chain noise?
