Yes. 2011 frames saved about 0.5lbs from 2010 frames. The 2012 frames went from 17.5" chainstay to 17.25" chainstay with an adjustment +/- 0.25". We also lengthened the front center by 0.25" to keep...

That's from my birthday!
The Porn Charriot makes it in a Pat thread. This is some real injenering here. Awesome!
...
Was that out of a small town down a gravel road off the PanAm highway? Providencia... pretty much just some houses, a mini mart and a bar/restaurant.
Send me an email and I can fill you in more on what we rode. Super fun time, only rode the first few days, but I was surprised by how good the riding was. Well worth bringing our bikes for!...
Wow! People in this thread should read Seb's article on Bike and take a chill pill. There is no right thing for everyone, let alone every trail or region...
I get just as sick of the 29 hate as I...
Wow! Shocked to hear you are 5'8" to 5'9" and like the Large. Understandable that the seat tube is too long... we certainly had taller folks in mind with that size. Sorry! Sounds like you are making...
Enough with the crap about who's bike is lightest or who isn't winning beginner. This is all about having fun in the woods on bikes.
It looks like this guy gets it...
Alex Poyner In Whistler...
I think whatever Sicklines has/had for a weight was a 2010 frame. We cut some serious weight out for 2011... the 2012 frame is the same give or take a few grams and the medium I weighed was 5.09 kg...
Fox Float 34 140mm, tapered with 15mm.

So I took apart my Covert for parts when I built up my first proto Bandit 29. I have not missed it at all. Tire selection is till a bit of a bummer, but it really is getting better... new Maxxis...
Bryn broke his femur (maybe more?) and elbow. He is in surgery now. Sounded very gnarly. Big props to Lars, Amado, Benedict and anyone else that stuck around to help him get off the hill.
Best shot ever at 6 minutes.
I "like" this comment.
Full info on my perspective... i am running 1x10 with a 32t and 11-36 on my Covert. LOVE it, but in fairness it has fallen short for me a couple times on longer rides....
Hey now... they are just getting started and I am sure more than willing to sell you something despite the website. Mac is a cool dude, and they are trying to do something unique and useful. I...
Oh yeah... and around here you see multipe Dakine pads a day on trucks, and everyones downtubes have a bike shiny alloy spot from the shuttle rub. They definitely do damage to your bike, but it's...
I used to have a homemade cross bar rack on my truck for 6 bikes. My buddy Ryan did the V1 and I added a gusset after the first cross piece broke. ...
Call us tomorrow, or better yet... email pictures, sam@transitionbikes.com works...
Good luck?!? Or something?
Say you like the weight balance and wheelbase of a head angle like 62 with a 50mm stem. I wonder how a bike with the same wheelbase and weight balance might ride with modifed fork offset, head angle...
I am going to throw a big rock over the fence tonight... lookout.
Yah, the pointed braking edge on the High Roller just seemed to get rounded over a lot faster than the braking edges of a Minion. Overall they don't wear out to fast, they just wear differently. Lars...
Yes. I am excited to try this tire out. Lars' description sounded great even in comparison with the mighty Minion DHF. So yeah... looking forward to it.
I always liked the Minion DHF front and...
Yeah EB... Feb and March traded places this year. Strange.
No... the two components of steering are head angle and fork offset (Note: assuming same wheel size / axle height). You can effect steering feel with different head angles or different offsets. I am...
Plenty of groms ride the piss out of that bike, and you are definitely on track with some of the options for tweaking it.
A big price jump, but the small TR250 is sized and intended to be a good...
Rounded out yes... broken though? That is news to me. In any case, readily available replacements no matter what.
