I saw the comments on facebook, for the love of god please don't make a 29erIt's a new model, Megatrail is staying in the lineup.
Evils on back country? LOL. I blame their ridiculous seat post angles.Definitely better to enter the totally abandoned 140mm 650b market than to make a competitive 29er. Look what it did to Evil, they used to sell their bikes direct, now they have distribution through Backcountry. Plus they entered another two models on the market since the remarkable lack of success the Following has given them. Much better to replicate the no longer produced uprising than the wreckoning or following.
You didn't say anything about it being 26". I don't think it'll be convertible. The Megatrail isn't, it's just two different versions of the same frame. Plus even I admit that nobody wants a mid travel 26" bike anymore.HAB and I were already discussing. If it's in the 130-140mm range with 26"/650 convertible, I'll probably be selling my spitfire.
Indeed.Can it be curated in an artisanal rootbeer color way.
You mean your new model fills the obvious gap in your lineup? I'm shocked!We'll have the full details at the Mega Cookout on July 15th. But, if you look at our lineup, the Trail Pistol is filling the gap between the Pedälhead and Megatrail.
I've said too much....
It's pretty much a place holder, like a middle child. Right between the one you've given up on, and the one you're putting all of your efforts into.You mean your new model fills the obvious gap in your lineup? I'm shocked!

Me.Who is to judge how much another guy likes mid ride prostate stimulation?
I want it steeper. The technology isn't ready yet though.You think that saddle angle is perfect, don't you?
Gawd, SO progressive....I want it steeper. The technology isn't ready yet though.
When it is ready, it'll be marketed as game changing innovation, and we'll all have to burn our bikes as they no longer work.I want it steeper. The technology isn't ready yet though.
So how long were guys waiting for kanye? I hope it wasn't too bad.In other news, I just had a lovely jaunt with @wydopen and @Kanye West . It takes some cojones to ride those narrow, loose, steep trails quickly.
They got to socialize a lot while I barrel rolled down the hill then showed up covered in dirt and grass and told everyone how Enduro it was.So how long were guys waiting for kanye? I hope it wasn't too bad.
Yep. San Ysidro is another trail that takes prior knowledge and cojones to go fast.Good stuff. You guys shuttle the other trail this afternoon?
Oh yeah, can't expect a first run on that to be anything more than exploratory. Rocky goodness at the bottom though, huh?Yep. San Ysidro is another trail that takes prior knowledge and cojones to go fast.
Pic/Vid or it didn't happen. Also, no tomahawking - no care.They got to socialize a lot while I barrel rolled down the hill then showed up covered in dirt and grass and told everyone how Enduro it was.
Have you got the rear shock settings dialed in yet?
Huh, the seat tube looked longer than mine. I guess your extra low profile shock through me off.It's a Medium.
I'm going back with the elastomer based shox setup.
The custom shock is drilled .375" short of 7.875. Maybe that's throwing you offHuh, the seat tube looked longer than mine. I guess your extra low profile shock through me off.
You must have the only Megatrail in existence with a Brooks saddle.
We have a local customer in Denver that has a Brooks saddle on his Pedälhead. It's very classyHuh, the seat tube looked longer than mine. I guess your extra low profile shock through me off.

The saddle is a a Selle Anatomica X. Its the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden. Don't hate on my rivets!
Ive actually not even sat on it yet because I'm scared I would fold my "shox" up....
I've got a free Popsicle for whomever creates the best sticker for my bike!Looks like it climbs well with that shock.
Could use some graphics, perhaps a contest is in order?
