Cool. I have one if those blue volume spacer thingys to put in my CCDBa to see if I can get a little more midstroke support out of it but failing that I might try a coil. Have you mostly run it in super gravity mode with that? What shock did you have initially?
The bikes LEFT rear stay has had tire contact but not the right. It looks like just a few times. I ride it about 10 miles a day. So I think I know the corner that may be making it happen. I changed from a Slaughter to a Goma last week and feel the Slaughter sat a bit wider on the rim than the Geax does.
So only got one ride in with the coil and it was in regular gravity mode. But I have been running the bike mostly in Super G mode with a Monarch Debonair. When it worked, it was great. But I've had really bad luck with rear shocks lately. I've had to send the monarch in for service twice. I only bought the Van RC as a cheap backup mostly. Also to try out what a coil feels like on this bike. But I think it may turn into something more than that as I do love me some coil
Initial impression is that it feels more like a DH bike with a coil. Will be riding more today. It does have more pedal bob than I'm used to. May try it in Super G mode too.
I had a CCDBA on my 5Spot for 2 years before the MegaT. So I know your pain in set up. And your future pain in maintenance.
Should I go carbon rear rim on this thing? Not sure what to do. Probably lacing it up to an e13 hub either way.
I'm gonna slap you.
WTB Frequency i25 and DT EX471's are also good.
No 50 mm no care
Yo, @SDet
Yo, @mtg
So I don't currently own a GG and probably won't be in the market for a while. But I think your bikes, your approach, and your attitudes are effing awesome. Major props on all that you do. So I want to offer you one of these, made into a woodburn, to hang in the shop, at trade shows, in the shitter, wherever you want. Free of charge, of course. Take yer pick and lemme know which one you like best.

@jstuhlman, that's awesome.
@SylentK: if you're looking for stiffer spinny bits, the hot ticket seems to be chinesium carbon, hand built, 32h. We've built a number of those, and they're pretty sweet.

the fatties are the same as the LB i30s...I prefer a narrower rim^^ Nice (my vote is for the donkey. Or is that a Denver Bronco?
As for wheels. Anyone have any time on Roval Traverse Fattie SL?
Woah...literally made these stickers last week to be applied to a buddy's shuttle pad in stealth tomorrow:

With the Megatrail, the days of owning both a downhill bike and a trail bike could be over, Montague said.

Plus that article says 650b only.Looks like someone's business partner needs a slap upside the head.

Well, to be fair, a bike like the Megajizz *could* be all the bike many riders will ever need. Put it this way, at the DH race I was at last weekend, there were metric tonnes of people who were clunking along so slowly on full-on DH rigs, that I'd be tempted to say they'd actually be "faster" on something lighter and more maneuverable. Having said that, I was also personally reminded why DH bikes are still far superior to any All-Enduro-Trail bike on legitimately rugged and fast east coast rox™ if you're not pussy-poking along. And while it does sound like an odd comment from a guy who's company builds DH bikes (and started out that way), I'm always a little suspect of how quotes are generated by the media - I say that as someone who's done quite a few TV and newspaper interviews. In fact, I have a copy of one particular article hanging on my office wall in which I am prominently quoted in, and almost none of the quotes attributed to me are close to 100% accurate. Liberal paraphrasing at best.Looks like someone's business partner needs a slap upside the head.

As for the no 26" model assertion, I'm assuming that's a misunderstanding by the author, as a 26" option is still listed on the website. But who knows, maybe there comes a point in which no one is ordering 26" frames and there's no reason to offer the option. Hope that doesn't come to pass.
EDIT - now that I think about it, perhaps this is just the first small step towards GG's global expansion and corporate jet speak.

Turns out............weren't actually at a dh race.
That was an enduro stage apparently.
Can't argue with science.
Yeah, I assumed that was a mistake on the part of the author.
That was a good old example of a quote being taken out of context. What Will meant when he was saying that was for the average rider on the front range that isn't crushing the gnarest of steeps, having a *warning: advertisement coming* Megatrail with Gravity Mode and a DH bike is unnecessary.
The 27.5" only thing was just simply an error. We still make and sell 26" models. There's a handful of them in the queue now with no plans to drop them.

So wise, you are like the Buddha of Ridemonkey.
Yo dawg, I heard you like gussets, so ...Obligatory, look at my bike, post
Good lookin welds.
Shit, go ahead and drop them, they're not carbon. They'll be fine.
Quit yappin and rub mah belleh!
I like how your photobucket account is "wetbed"
Look at this sexy beast that was waiting for me when I got home tonight, New Bike Day!!

Hope GG doesn't mind, but I did some custom work with the graphics. I had a few schemes ready, but settled on this one. I think it turned out pretty sick!
No one really sees what your photobucket account is, so I saw no reason to change it. GG doesn't open for 3 hours, but I might go work on my bike.
Really digging that color and stickems. So did the GG paint shop do that, or is it something you had done (or did yourself)? Don't recall seeing that color as a factory option.
