Good stuff! 

The coil Z1 would be a good fit for Wades one off aluminum bike from a while back though.

I believe those are Pinner shorts. I have the same pair and wear em all the time.

Room for a bottle cage in there?

Good read, I really enjoyed it!

Also heard the local motorcycle super store will be stocking Giant brand electric bikes. Now the IBDs gets to compete with brands selling direct and a different industry that has your product.

I think the Husky E mountain bikes are showing where things are headed. I suspect in a couple years we see long travel, 29 front 27 rear, dropper post with decent gear spread, pedal assist. 

The full on throttle electric will be the kook bikes and will be banned from most riding destinations.

Not ready for a E mountain bike but have been commuting on an E bike for years and thousands of miles. 

Would love integrated heated grips, horn and turn signals/better lighting someday. Can add all that on but would prefer one battery to keep track of.

Wow, checking out 29" offerings today. Rockshox is offering a 180mm travel 29'er Lyrik.

BIG travel/wheel bikes on the horizon?

Stans offers Schrader Valves… Might be a new option as I just saw it in a catalog and double checked their site.

^Gspot is one of my all time favorite bikes! Wish they would update it with 27.5 and little geo tweaks.

Had this come through the shop today. Cool idea and if done right could work for the high-end crowd.

I just added a foam pool noodle under my Dakine pad. I found one of the hollow ones and cut it down the center half way and put that over my gate then the pad on top. Just a little extra protection for when things get airborne.

Unfortunately one of my straps is starting to tear away but otherwise love the ease and simplicity of that thing.

Did you do the reaming yourself?

I did one bike of mine (30.0 to 30.9). About 12hours later the post fit but man was it a messy to clean up.

Yes I did it myself. It was the first and last haha

Still loving this bike since I got it summer of 2010. Made some big upgrades this spring.

The most enjoyable but also the biggest pain in the ass was reaming the seat tube to 30.9 to fit the KS. But the 150mm of travel is so sweet!

Also did the Pike, Monarch Debonair, Trail XO's, 65mm stem and gave in to 10 speed.
