Any updates on real-world service life?

Does anyone make a flat pedal winter shoe????

I wish the new Alum Rockys had these lines. The Alum Altitude would look so much better with straight lines and top tube seat tube gusset. The current Alum Altitude is forgettable in a sea of Taiwanese cookie cutter bikes.

How tall are you Cam?

I am 5.8 and 724mm/28.5 feels about right for the tight island trails. I am flirting with the idea of going wider. 

I rented a V10 at SilverStar and it came with 800mm bar.  They were OK for the wide lift access trails but it hurt my shoulders buy the end of the day.

Would love to know where that trail is?

Sorry, I should have said "Vague first look is vague"

Vague review is vague.

Do they run on all bearing? Do they run on B/U bushings? What
is that latch in the middle for? A few cute pics and 11 line of text should not
be front page news. I would expect this level of writing from Richard C on Pink
bike but not NSMB. Cam what is going on? Please put more meat into your
advert/testing.

The new Reign is a sexy looking bike. The top tubes on the Reign are crazy long!!! What is with the long top tube trend? Bikes are just getting odd.

Why on gods green earth would they make them more flexable??????
Why not aggressive tread to the front to help off bike climbing

I own one and it is an amazing bag. I fly with my bike quite a bit as I live in a boring part of the world. I started with bike boxes then moved on to the Dakine bag, then the Evoc. I found the bike box worked better then the Dakine bag, what a piece of junk. The EVOC is miles ahead of everything else.

Long chain stays. Anything longer than 430. Long reach with long chain stays just make the bike too numb. Long reach and short CS keep the bike playful. Just my 2 cents

I want to be friends with that guy. He is fluent in Albertaese

I cant wait to get my 26x2.8 wheels built up to give me a bit more cushioning.

Anyone have 26x2.8 minions? I am wondering the overall height.

You should be fine.

Specialized at one point was shipping 3.0 tires on 30mm width rims.

I'm running 3.0's on 40mm rims (650b+).

What tire are you running?

I am looking to put 26+ tires on hardtail and I am wondering what combos people are using. 

I hear some complaints about plus size tires being "squirmy". I would think that would be from running rims that are two narrow for the tire width. What width of rim are you running and how does it work for you?

I got 35mm rims and I hope to run Maxxis Minion DHF 2.8.

After a two year hiatus from hardtails I am back and man do I not know how to ride a hardtail anymore. My Norco Range spoiled me. Picked up a Chromag Wideangle. The build is nothing crazy. 160mm Pike Minion DHF/DHR widetrails. 150mm Reverb. 165mm Black Spire cranks. Can't wait to get good at hardtails again.

If you can spend a few more dollars I would highly recommend the Giant Fathom 2. You get solid components that will last and you get plus size tire to help cushion.

I started wiring on Slip-on grips this year. What an improvement

I CA glue the outer edge of the grip and ziptie the inside edge. Never had an issue. Doing it for 8 years.
