i suspect we'll see a return to more conservative reach numbers and headtube angles, just like we're seeing with rim widths. Who really needs 63 on a trail bike?

good riding and trailbuilding too

you could try an angleset in that tb2 and a longer travel kit for the pike.

Try a 140-150

You still have those blue gore shorts you bought from me? I mentioned to the 7mesh guys how dope those were… except for those ass seam placements

This is what I think. If something is good, tell us all that its good. If something is crap, send it back to the manufacturer and tell them why its crap. We can read between the lines.

The only journalist who is consistently very critical of bikes/equipment is Steve Jones of Dirt mag. He probably burns some bridges as a result but, on the other hand, every reader and manufacturer knows that a glowing review from Jones carries some weight.
