Not trying to start a shit storm here but are people really noticing the difference between a 15mm axle and a 20mm?
If the chassis is stout enough (apparently stiffer lowers than the pike) I don't really see why people are complaining about a possible lack of stiffness.
I've been riding an xl process 111 since last year and really like it. I'd usually go for a large frame at my height (6' 2") but the xl with a short stem (35mm rf atlas) and wide bars (800mm sixc uncut) feels just about perfect. Mine is fitted with a longer than stock fork (140mm 34 instead of...
I rode the 29" 2.3" Maxxis minion dh-f/dhr2 in 3c maxxterra exo casing setup tubeless for 4 weeks in the alps (megavalanche included) and the rest of the season locally from september on and had zero flats, best tires ever.
Not really anything new here apart from the fact that a 66.5 deg h-a on a 29 er is crazy slack...
I always find it funny when companies come out with new models and come up with "revolutionary" geo numbers, even though, other companies have been doing similar bikes for over two years...
750 not 800, my bad...
easton happily replaced it though pretty fast with a new one!
I now ride a 35mm sixc carbon bar on my process and even though it's been battered to hell (mostly deep scratches from not so intelligent packing in a trailer) riding across europe this summer and flying back...
No no, wasn't complaining, just when you see a carbon enduro, rolling on bos/inline, enve, etc... You don't really expect a x9 derailleur up there :p
I do know, don't worry that they're not entry-level stuff, was just trying to make a joke
heres my fun ride in its natural habitat, taken atop of...
Been riding my process 111 with a 32t race face n/w ring up front, short cage shimano zee derailleur, sram pg-1070 cassette with a Wolf Tooth 40t adapter. I rode it mostly with an MRP am-g guide even during my trip to europe (4 weeks of mtb in the alps) and never experienced any shifting problem...
I wouldn't get the older generation havocs, they aren't really that good and let's just say that the hubs aren't really reliable plus straight-pull spokes are always gonna be harder to find.
If I was you I'd just build up something from scratch, seeing as you work for a shop you can easily...
So in around three weeks, me and a buddy actually had the idea to cross the states for one hell of an epic road trip. We'll start from montreal (canada, where it's still -15 now) on march 20th and intend to go up to cali and come back within three weeks (doable) plus we'll stop on the way to...

I'm not a big fan of using narrow chains on an application that sees a lot of stress.
The crank could easily be replaced with a narrow ring from any brand and a 10 speed cassette will still offer a quite optimal gear ratio for 99.5% of riders.
I really like the cassette and that...
I was 19 years old when I did my first race, signed up for the quebec/canada cup in sport class after riding for like a year. It was the cool thing to do because all my buddies were doing it (I was working on the bromont trail crew back then so it was kinda fun riding a track you helped build)...
I havn't rode it yet Theres 3 feet of snow and it's -15 up here right now The length of the rear shock is stock 184X44mm. I don't really plan on changing the rear shock seeing as I've always liked the monarchs (they do the job pretty damn well for a "basic" shock).
So far on mine I've...
I have the same bike, process 111 and it is indeed impossible to fit offset bushings (only on the front, which would give not even -0.25 deg change). It is indeed hard to find a fitting shock, the stock monarch ain't that bad but better options are out there. I've been toying with the idea of...
Not exactly sure this is a bad thing. Stepping up to an elite level does not necessarily mean that you're going to have success right off (rudes case)... Enduro racing is getting exponentially more popular year after year, so for me it kinda makes sense for them to focus a bit more on enduro and...
