On this design the seat tube does look awkward. I think it,s due to the fact it,s straight to the BB. Most design have some kind of bend in the seat tube.

If it is they should take note!!! Was just thinking their design has not really changed much. Same deal with Banshee.

Damn that,s depressing , Devinci seems to be the only company. Waiting to see what they offer for 2020. I have been told they redid the Django 29er. I love my 2017 Django 29er.

Tank ass heavy and speced with a coilover. Good old Rocky. Any idea if the aluminum frames are made in Canada?? Nice to see coilovers on more bikes, been a fan for years, have to test ride one.

I,m talking about MTB versions.

My problem is not the E-bikes of today. It,s the ones of tomorrow that have 3000w motors . The ones that will climb at 30kmph. In the right environment and condition have fun , I bet they are. But for the trails I work on and maintain. They can bugger off.

Wonder if the coil has a climb switch , my DHX2 does on my current bike.

Reign SX just shoot to the top of my list. Coil over and aluminum , that works well for my likes.

What,s next , the SB182 26" park bike for those who do Park??

Best and only use for a E-bike. Builders as well I have no issues with , IF!! they are digging and riding with gear.

Gorilla Tape is THE WORST! 

There is a thread on mtbr with all the tapes people use and have tried. 

FYI WAO tubesless Tape is/was just some Tessa Tape one can buy from almost anywhere.

Same with Spank rim tape, it,s Fratelli tape. Made by the company that makes their rims. Seems to be the only tape that stick to them as well.

I am looking forward to seeing what the aluminum version of the new Slayer29er looks like.

It would be the bottom one. I just replaced my cranks and was looking at the Affect but choose to stay with the 30mm BB .

I would pull a crank arm too confirm if you are gonna mail order the BB. Also consider the ceramic bearing option. I have heard the bearing will outlast the bike.

The RF BB is crap, I still need to replace mine and it has roughly 1200km on it. There is a company that makes a threaded BB that adapts to the press-fit frame. A option to consider as well.

My buddies shop in MR has a Kona Shonky hanging on the wall for sale.

This is cool.

For a while Sram were being easy going regarding receipts and the like, but now it's back to normal warranty terms.

Also, Fluid Function are a Rockshox suspension service center and while I'm sure Shawn and the crew can tear down a Sram brake like the best of them, that's not really what they are there for.

You sure?? I remember being in there before and they had tons of groupos and brakes. Shawn was a major outlet source for Sram sponsored riders.

My buddy is between 265/300lbs depending on the time of year. He rides a Ohlins 36 and never hear him bitch about fork flex. Wheel flex that,s a different story, he kills a few wheels a year.

Chat with the crew in Squamish. You might be able to get them serviced or replaced.

I know yrs back I bought a fork from Jensens and it leaked oil. Marzocchi locally here fixed it with proof of purchase.

haven't really, but i know there all kinds of rules about these things. my friends hit a moose once and said how traumatic it was watching it suffer for hours. someone finally came along with a gun and put it down without qualms.

Check with Silvercore, they do back country training for bear defence and such. As far as euthanizing a injured animal on the side of the road. Not sure on that one, I would dig deep . In this situation you are now discharging a firearm on a road. Locally here in the area you can shoot in the bush. One needs to be 400m from the road. This is where grey areas fall into play. And I have never dealt with a CO( Conservation Officer). But from what my uncle and his buddies state they have their own mindset and laws.

I'm leaning towards one of the many Spank rims or an MK3. 

I can't see what the difference is between the Spank 345 and 350 other than 20 grams and $10

Anyone recommend a shop to get this built?

here,s a cross-section view of the Spank rims, The 350 is not as tall in height
