 What length bar do you have. And I was wondering what you think of your jekyll because I'm getting a 2012 jekyll 4 and was wanting to know some pros and cons about the bike. Thanks

 Well, Im kinda crazy with the bars. Im using uncut Blackspire 800's. Being a little on the tall side, it helps me keep my weight over the bike how I like it. Now that I've had it for a while, I have to say I love it. The bike comes pretty nicely set from stock. I have not had anything on the drivetrain break yet, appart from the chain. (Which Im still incredibly confused on how I managed it) The wheels are sturdy, and running just under 30 psi and converted tubeless, I have not damaged the rims yet. For my kind of riding, the Nevegals are pretty good, though Im considering going to Maxxis Larsens in the near future. The brakes are pretty strong, (mine came with Elixir 3's) but I might consider upgrading if you are going on a more intense downhill ride. The main point in this bike is the shock, In my opinion, it feels so nice compared to the RP23 set ups on many other bikes. Its very progressive, and it does not require the seal maintenance of open stanchion shocks. I have not had problems with mine. The fork is great, as the rockshox line is usually. Big Grin


TL: DR Its a FREAKIN AWESOME bike for the price, so go get it Smile

 Hey, so did this video start near the bench? I cannot for the life of me find this trail. I have never been able to find that "no bike" sign

 They have long since put up a metal fence on the entrance. The trail is practically un ride-able last I was there a month or so ago. If you're determined, you can still use the switchback XC entrance south of the bench but it kinda sucks.

 Thats an awesome deal! I got mine for just over $1900 with a lifetime service thing. They sure are great bikes for the money! What color are you getting yours in?

 The only colors we have left at the shop in my size is the white and red like you have. I wanted the black and green one

 Yeah, black and green would be really nice, IMO thats the best color scheme for the Jekyll. Post some pics when you get it!
