The Michelins are far superior UST tubeless tyres though. I ran them for two seasons in the Alps on Mavic 823s and never punctured or rolled them off the rim, even at low pressure.
Last year I ran Maxxis UST tyres and found them very easy to roll off the rim, very easy.
I weigh (16 stone ish) 100kg and run a 450lb sping - I have ridden fast, slow, rocky and flowing trails since getting the bike and am happy with that spring rate.
I will measure the shock tomorrow.
Yeah, It surprised me that I didn't have to replace the spring as I have had to do this on every-single other bike I have bought.
Need to stop eating and lifting so many weights!:poster_oops:
The medium comes with a 450lb spring. I weigh 98kg - 216lbs. I haven't made my mind up about the spring yet. It certainly wasn't too soft - felt about right.

And the cranks are definitely 170mm.

Strange, I bought it because I thought it represented very good value for money. I couldnt build a bike with similar spec for anything near the £3500 I paid for it, and I did try.
I worked in a Trek dealer for a long time and have faith in the brand, much more so than certain niche brands.
The medium feels perfect for me - I wouldnt want a bigger bike
The frame tubing does appear to be quite thin but it does have a three year warranty so I am sure its robust.
I have covered my frame in clear protective tape anyway just to prevent dings from day to day use - especially the...
Fair enough.
I know I said I wasn't going to argue but I will anyway...
My 6point has light tyres pumped up quite hard on pretty light wheels and the Trek is a DH bike with 2.5" sticky rubber running pretty soft with heavy ass tubes and it still felt super quick to accelerate and very very...
I didn't say the Iron Horse was bad - I love my 6point but having the two side by side, the Session pedals better.
I'm not going to argue with you about it. I was asked for my opinion and I gave it.
Whether or not you choose to believe me, I could care less.
