Excellent as always. I'm a slacker STA guy for trail riding but just got back from my first trip with my Titan and was loving the steep STA on the climbs for wench-and-plummet riding. Definitely feels funny on flat-ish terrain, but worth the trade off given how I'm going to use the bike. Biggest adjustment for me was saddle position when dropped, but I got used to it after a few rides.
I'll understand if you ignore pending your comprehensive review, but do you have concerns about the housing for the dropper and the lower link? When I built mine up, I pulled the link and took off their 3M protective film and replaced it with really burly shuttle-guard tape. Housing already eating into that pretty good. Don't see a way to avoid the housing resting against the link? Am I doing something way wrong?
