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?

Cotic Renews Jeht Trail Bike With More Travel and MX Wheels
Visually it really looks awesome.
Hope something similar appears to fill the gap the new Jeht is leaving behind it (full 29 and shorter travel).

First Ride: The Santa Cruz Nomad 7 Gets Slightly Slacker and Slimmer
Sounds like you need to mix it up.
The rat race of newer cooler faster stronger lighter longer shorter is exhausting.
Get a single speed hardtail and just shut off the noise for a year and see how you feel.
