What do you think of the new shimano m8020 brakes. Basically just saint calipers with xt levers?

Thinking about trying TRP slated or Quadiems with this build. Thoughts?

Think the regular HT will be too much bike for the Midwest? My only real gripe with the following mb is the slack actual seat angle and the tire rub issue. I really need to take a trip to demo these bikes.

Still trying to decide between a Following MB and a Hightower.....Do you think SC will update the HT this year since it’s 2-3 years old and that seems to be their design cycle? Or probably not this year with the recent addition of the HT LT.

After a closer inspection the cable head did shift forward due to no tension on the cable. I had to remove the top plastic “Y” cover to dis-lodge it. The only problem now is the torsion spring popped out. I have found the notch that is sits in. Do you know if it gets a revolution of pre-wind? I...

My X01 eagle stuff just showed up today... I went to test out the shifts and was able to down shift all the way to the lowest gear then back up only a few gears. Now it is stuck and I can’t get it to up or down shift. Seems like it is stuck in one of the lower gears based on the cable position...

Yep 350 hubs, I have hopes on my Kona and I wasn’t sure if I could live with the loudness of the I9s. I got them more for the warranty and the 20% sale.

Looks familiar...just showed up this week.

Carbon or alloy rims?

I would need to test one out before buying. Their quality/warranty past kinda concerns me. I have recently demo'd some bikes. 17 kona process 111- fun bike but no boost or carbon. Unfortunately not updated/eliminated for 2018. 17 pivot switchblade- fun bike but not my favorite. 17 ibis hd4- just...

Ilikemtb999 thoughts on evil bikes? Kinda liking the new following me.

How tall are you? I wear a 36-37 sleeve length for dress shirts. Would getting a XL and putting a 5 mm shorter stem on it help (35mm) or not even be noticeable. Also would it hurt climbs since the head tube angle is already pretty slack at 66*? I might try and measure the reach on my kona. What...
