2010 giant glory !!!

I just wanna know how they are dealing with the patent issues. My guess is that the anti-squat curves aren't the same.
Little geometry comparison 
Thx for my mate, Luku.
It seems HA is the same. BB height is very similar. 2010's front triangle is a little bit longer but the WB is a bit shorter. Standover is pretty much lower, which is good for such hobbits like me

looks like a beefed up version of reign
They should've lowered the BB to 14" if they've reduced the travel to 8.
What length shock do you think that is?

awesome looking frame. Much cleaner than the last one. I really question the need for that amount of hydroforming, but it does look nice. I thought the bashguard was integrated into the frame, at first, which would be a neat but heavy innovation. Looks to me, on an armchair engineering level, that the links are different enough from a sunday despite the similarity. Plus IH is in no position to file a lawsuit, and I'm sure giant has done their homework to make sure it's not a DW-link knockoff.
Funny, my Glory BB height is 14" exact right now.
On what setup? Seems a bit strange you droped 0.5'' from the factory given level. (It was 14.5 not 14.7'' sry)
You will be able to see the Setup Late next week on SickLines.com. It should be up Wed. or Thurs.

Ask "your ways" if there were any changes during the years as from the reports of different ppl say they have it higher(around my bike height that feels rather high). I'm just curious and it's not my obsession with numbers taken from my uni
BTW. Cecil - I just found your older post about the glory bb height:

Well first off, that is my old 07 bike. Haven't had that bike for well over a year. I now have a 09. The build is way different than my 07. Hope that helps.....

tire choice and how short/tall you choose to run your fork in the crowns can have a pretty wide effect on bb height.
Cecil doesn't have a Fox 40 on this bike, the new fork has a lower ride height. I would guess that might be some of the difference. Don't know if that is with the same tires but, I would think tire profile would also affect bb height.
65degree head angle with 2.5 Maxxis and 14" BB would be best IMO, riding rugged tracks, put bigger tyres on for more cushioning, and get a higher BB for better clearance to boot.
Like Chuck said no Fox 40 on my build, plus I put in a Flush Mount Head set. Running 2.5" tires right now. When off the bike the BB is 14", but when my weight is on the bike it is more like 13" to 13.25". That is with the rear shock set at 32% Sag.
Hope that helps a little.

With the downfall of IH i wonder if we'll be seeing surge of Glories on the mountains?
That glory is nice, I would seriously think of getting one if it was bigger than my socom.
The quality fo the build/finish on a giant is really sweet, I love their no nonsense approach,
only negative is their graphic designers use horrible colours and cappy looking graphics, I think all their colour schemes are really crap. Id still buy one though I think

how did you decide on sizing?Production paiting will be rad, guys
My Glory frame has been initially confirmed for beginning of August
im hoping theres a size inbetween M and L, because the jump was too big for last years version..
I have been using Glory DH XS, which was too small. Then, I switched for Glory S, so bigger size and little bit different geo. Glory S was very good. I hope, new Glory DH S will be good, as well.
I am not very demanding. I can adapt to new geometry (unless it's really awkward) in 1-2 weeks

I looks really really nice. I like how accesible the adjustments on the shock is.
Not to start this debate again, but even if IH was still around, I don't believe they'd be in any position to file a lawsuit, as the patent was not theirs (they licensed it from DW).
This is true...I guess I misspoke. I was just trying to make the point that Giant is giant, and they won't knock something off that they don't think they can get away with.
i have a feeling they werent suppose to put that picture up yet of the 2010 glory...
Yuroshek, is 2wheelfreaks going to ride Glory 2010 next season?
My Glory S frame is scheduled for beginning of September
FSA 1,5"-1,125" Giant Blue headset has just arrived. It weighs 108g w/o star, nuts and top cup.
2010 Totem Solo Air tappered is on the way
I have just ordered LG1+ 40t for new setup
I should get FSA Gravity Light CF 710mm h-bar during Eurobike
My new Glory should be about 15,4kg

yes we will be on the 2010 glorys, everyone on the team will have their chance to get them as soon as they hit the states. im very excited to build/ride this bike its going to be amazing. my bike should weigh between 37-38 pounds race ready with DH tires and tubes and number plate haha.

So Clean!
i am a very lucky man, it wont be long till i have one of those between my legs! I am sure its gonna ride as beautifully as it looks, based on my past experience with my Trance X and my 09 glory. good god that thing is sweet.
What do you guys think about the rear brake routing?

Those photos were definitley not supposed to make there way out yet. But "Pandora doesn't go back in the box, she only comes out..." so there ya have it.
More official things will come around interbike time
