Ok, just checked it out, f'in sweet stuff man. Saves me from converting hubs and keeping my 12mm. Now the question is how long? 165mm or 168mm?

You want the longer one as it will allow you to keep both of the aluminium washers that are supplied with your Intense frame. I bought the short one by accident and can only run one washer.

Thanks! Purchased.

The first post has been completely updated. A carbon bike looks like it is going to take the prize.

Honorable mention - just not enough travel.

Thanks for updating the standings Dean. However, for the sake of fairness here, I feel like I should point out that the park scales used by several folks including myself show weight in pounds and ounces rather than hundredths of a pound. This shuffles the order around a bit including bumping your Rune up a few places.

Also, I don't recall seeing the 100 post minumum in the rules when I originally posted by bike. I'm a regular lurker on here and don't post much. Was that added later? I guess I'll need to get to 100 for the 2011 thread where the blur's current build would have a shot at the podium since it's 2+ pounds lighter now…

I will try. I intend to be pissed out of my face partying it up in Kamloops this New Years, so if there are a few spelllling mistakes and gammmere errors please be kind.

First post is updated with your bike.

P.S, I'm on dual ply. ;)

But it's no big, I'll wait for my entry to the 2011 thread, as I have other bits in mind to buy. Plus my present to myself for Christmas..

Sick list of bikes.
