Thanks! That's all great info

I appreciate the info :)

We've been debating back and forth between the Macride and the KRS seat for about a year now. Andrew (or anyone else) can you chime in either way? I assume you bought the KRS seat for a reason rather than the alternatives.

Any noise complaints? I watched a video by a popular Youtuber who had just purchased these the other day (not sure if he bought the rotors as well or stuck with his Sram rotors) and they were noisy as hell. Horrible sram  warble, super squeaky in the rain, it was brutal. The rain squeak I can deal with since most brakes do that, but the sram warble is a complete deal breaker for me.

I just can't believe that I'm the only one who wraps my star nut... I could have sworn this would have caught on.

Can you stop making the things I can't afford seem so desirable? Jeeeeeez.

I love these bikes.

Not gonna lie that thing looks pretty awesome.

STAY THE FUCK HOME

lol

When I worked at OGC we had a shit loads of them. James @ Susworks most likely has them now.

I was also thinking about setting less sag. Only two rides on the new rig so early days of set up.

I would 100% not go this route personally.

Get your suspension setup perfect and address the crank strikes in another way. Either with boots / shorter cranks / be more aware of your pedal position, etc...

Why compromise on suspension setup (which we use for 100% of our ride time) for the sake of something that happens rarely?

I hit my cranks like 10 times on a ride. 

In fact the last ride I went on I hit my left crank and foot so hard i broke my shoe :/

I've never done a lot of trail work but during the winter I try to make a point of stopping at least 2 times or so to clear drains on every ride. Fixing drainage is one of those things that is satisfying long term and short term since most of the time you can clear a drain and watch that area of trail start draining instantly.

And I always talk about it, not to brag but to broaden awareness so hopefully more people do the same. Such a small simple thing can make a huge positive impact on the trail and it only takes like 2 minutes to do.

I've never ridden a 29er on dirt before.

This thread has been up for about 3 and a half hours, if this thread was on pinkbike someone would have threatened murder by now.

I honestly expected much worse from him. 

Has it been monstrously horrible? Yes. 

Was it as bad as I thought it would be? No.

I also spoke to someone today on their first ride on their Commencal Meta TR 29 that they ordered mid-August and it showed up literally today.

I ended up with a competed different bike than I intended to buy this year due to lack of availability.

I was pretty much dead set on an Optic but the only thing available was a Sight and I didn't want to miss out on a full sus this year so I just bought the Sight.

Not a single regret at all though the bike has been absolutely amazing and I feel super lucky that I even got a bike with the state of inventory in the industry.

I can vouch for City Sports as well. I had massage, physio, acupuncture, with 3 different people and they were all great.

I recommend a condom for your pump protection.
