Sounds like that rock needs some extra "pull up"
Opposite of that, it currently sends your rear wheel higher than the New Shephard
Them brakes...!
I ate shit and broke myself on... well, fuck - I'm not even sure what it was. It's irritating as all shit being broken for something completely mysterious.
i'll break myself off on nothing more than my own lack of timing, lack of skills, and general incompetence. 
Wife is getting antsy for her Smash as the snowline creeps down the mountains.
Just over 5 weeks into the "5 to 7 weeks" window.
So just "2 weeks"...

next time she complains remind her there are still people riding 26" wheels.
By coincident GG central just called as they didn't have the water bottle in stock that was on her order. It's somewhere in the queue for final assembly so can't be far off.
A phone call to collect this afternoon would be great in time for tomorrows planned ride.

she's going to be in perpetual beast mode now. you're aware of this, yes?
Oh agreed. Need to keep it RSD rather than getting carried away on the first few rides.
Hey MTG et al.
Do you folks know if the new Fox Float X or DHX will fit a size 2 with the reservoir down at the front mount? It will surly work in the rear position but adding to the sprung weight isn't in physics best interest. I am considering replacing my DPX2 which is kinda wonky and meh. My specific application is a megatrail if that matters. Thanks for any insight.

We haven’t tried the Megatrail yet in that config, but one of my buddies just put a Float X on his size 2 Smash, and it fits in the orientation you mentioned.
Uh oh. Got the heads up late yesterday afternoon that wife's bike was ready to collect. She didn't want to deal with Denver traffic so wanted to collect today instead...
Yeah, some thieves broke in and stole all of the display bikes. Luckily, no customer bikes were stolen. I doubt we’ll ever see those bikes again 
Well that sucks. Cant have anything nice these days.
This is why you equip your window models with 26" wheels, as nobody in their right mind would bother stealing such trash.
Seriously, that sucks meat pickles and I hope you install claymore mines in the next display window.

I think it's a pretty fair review. The video has more insights than the review text. I noticed many of the same things when I ran a Gnarvana setup (the long rear-end requires you to really lean over the bike in order to make tight corners, it's a little less progressive than you'd expect given its intentions & travel, but the length is unbelievably confidence inspiring when going downhill or landing jumps). I thought it was fine for climbing, although I don't do any techy climbs. It felt like it had a bit less anti-squat than the Smash or Megatrail, and the seat angle is a bit slacker, so a little bit less efficient than those models.It's not a mullet nor does it have an idler or 3, so I'm not sure how the Vital testers managed to ride it
Gnarrelli
I do think part of the secret sauce of the Gnarvana, at least on the size 2, is that the reach isn't ridiculously long. Combined with the long rear center, having a moderate front center allows you to muscle the front end around and still retain some maneuverability. If the reach was like 20mm longer, it would feel like a total sled and not be as fun.
I believe it was nefarious agents from Specialized, they want to patent the GG concepts, and needed skunk works.
But seriously, that sucks.

quit sending me annoying private messages, like I keep telling you, I will NOT be putting pants on for christmas card pictures
Sucks seeing the showroom empty today when we swung by to pick up wife's new Smash.
But we were amazed with the toofer offer they had going for just this afternoon so I picked up a Smash too!

Did you get one for me?
the lack of new bike pics here is disturbing.
