    Magnetically clipping pedals

    Not quite there. Perhaps quality flat pedals, magnets, and FiveTen impacts with a plate under the rubber?

    Banshee Rune V2

    Keep in mind that the Spitfire has about 10mm more reach than the Rune (both medium and large). TBH, a Spitty and Rune combo seems very redundant to me. A Darkside creates much more space between the two even if it is not so pedal friendly. We have our last medium Rune at the shop until late...

    Non-enduro full complement bearings?

    Cylindrical roller bearings? No luck, the smallest ID I'm seeing for INA is 15mm. Seems overkill, anything will be better than Enduro. That said, I'm guilty of using Enduro 75% of the time out of convenience and price (don't need to pay horrible shipping rates).

    KS LEV - school me on it

    Can anyone tell me if the 250 max PSI is taken at the compressed or extended position? There is a 70 PSI difference on the 150 Integra... The Southpaw lever is a big improvement ergonomics wise. However, the clamping on it is utter garbage! Everything is smothered in carbon paste and beyond...

    Funn Mamba pedals??

    I was expecting the FUNNs and the HT X1s to be carbon copies, their not! I have no experience with either.:banana:

    Light, strong ... and metal.

    The Spank Oozy 295s have been perfect on the trail bike...but I wouldn't go through the trouble of having it on the DH bike. The larger Subrosa 30 doesn't have the new "bead bite" tech yet, but I think its still a contender.

    Toobless for DH?

    Zero issues with 823s and Mavic DH casing tires in 4 years of use. Just laced a new rear rim, I wish it was wider to get with these awesome trends but I still like it. 180lbs running 28 front/30 rear.

    +/- 4", slack, longish FS frame ... what fits the bill?

    GT Distortion! It's been my trail ripper for the past two seasons. Unfortunately, I'm 6'4" so it's pretty tight on me. McCaul and Strait used the bike for SS...as it was meant to be. There kinda difficult to get a hold of...oh wait, mines for sale. http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1664227/

    Boxer 2009 32 mm chassi . 20mm axle needed

    No. It came in a grab bag of parts, not sure who manufactured it. Quality is top notch.

    RC4 on 2012 Wilson, any better?

    Two seasons on a Wilson/RC4 and one season on a Wilson/CCDB Coil. I must have gotten used to the crappy small bump sensitivity and the missing inch or so of travel on the RC4 (250lb spring at 170lbs)... The CCDB transformed the bike, traction and control for days. I increased to a 275lb spring...

    Best budget 650b 150mm Trail/All mountain/Enduro fork

    Wow...almost a shame that Manitou is letting these forks go for so cheap. I chose the Expert (heavier) over the Pro for the increased oil volume. The Pro damper still has a good amount of oil compared to a Fox FIT damper but IMO the more the merrier.

    Best budget 650b 150mm Trail/All mountain/Enduro fork

    I've settled on the Mattoc Expert regardless of budget. It can be had for $500 right now! http://www.pricepoint.com/Brand/Manitou/Manitou-Mattoc-Expert-160mm-Tapered-QR15-27-5-Fork-2014.axd There is a lengthy review thread over on MTBR.

    Annoying Race Face Bits

    Whoops. If everything fits I would have no hesitation running the spindle on my bike. Unfortunately, there is zero posted information regarding compatibility between different Cinch systems. This is first time I've heard of different axles for Sixc vs Turbine. Who knows. Time to get in touch...

    Annoying Race Face Bits

    I'm only seeing 73mm or fat bike spindles through US distributors. Here's one on PB: http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/1699782/

    AM hardtail

    Great list so far. I'll second the NS Eccentric CroMo or even the new ALU version. Very low with 26" wheels and fairly reasonable pricing.

    2015 Santa Cruz V8.5 Released

    Both had the option of ridding the larger XXL frames when they were available. I'd imagine they will keep their XL 27.5 frames once the XXL 27.5 is available. XXL for riders 6'5"+?

    How tall are you freaks? Peat and Minnaar are both 6'3" and ride the XL.
