Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
No dude, I’m telling you, with your 10 second cycle time, the ejector pins will definitely seize themselves in the mold and break.
We knew Revved would make some waves, but damn, the tsunami of orders means there are now four more full time job openings at GG.

Not "fast paced" mind you, but "high paced"...I guess you don't have to pass a drug test.
But srsly, that's highly awesome. Almost as awesome as @SuboptimusPrime disliking your post!

Nope. I’m done with GG. They started out making bad ass metal 26 DH bikes for Luddites like me and now their top seller is a plastic wagon wheeler for panty wastes like @jackalope. Screw those guys!
No way is there a 2019 trail pistol in my cart on their website...
Sorry Matt, I’d fix it but my fucking finger is too obese from lack of riding.
thread drift .... scroll down the page, check out this year's keynote speaker ....

Nope, the Frame Maker 3000 is not yet the limiting factor.
Hell yeah, I'd love to see Sarah Frey talk about beer, or whatever really. And who's that Dickinson guy? Didn't he write some popular books awhile back?
Dickinson?
Hey, he puts pants on one leg at a time, just like you and me.
Mgt thanks for the hard work with the rest of gg, I confirmed two completes yesterday with customers and a cart with more saved for Monday!
Makin' 'Murika great again!!!
You guys don't happen to make crab0n radial bones?

Dude. this is not acceptable.You guys don't happen to make crab0n radial bones?
FML
what's the story?
Slipped a gear right before a sizeable jump , came up way short and basically shoulder tackled the cedar lander cribbing. Appears to be broke AF distal end of the radial. A fleshlight has never been so important to me.
fvck.
I had a similar radius fracture years ago.
hang in there @jackalope. i assume your gg bike emerged unscathed? remember, alcohol helps bones heal faster!
So how long was the downtime ? Trying to figure out if I need to get a new video game console.
Bike was unscathed except for a broken dropper lever. Cedar cribbing seemed ok too.
Sub optimal.
This all happened because you bought a 29r. Just sayin...
Hopefully I can source you some bull shark growth hormone and get you back to pedaling soon.
For realz, this sucks.
6 weeks for me. two fractures in the distal end = cast from knuckles over elbow so I couldn't rotate. That sucked balls.
Then 2 weeks of a shorter cast below the elbow.
Yeah, you should be able to get that rear wheel in there.
Your choices are ti or stainless. We make a kit for it.You guys don't happen to make crab0n radial bones?

That would sweet with some ex-fix.
hey @mtg something i'm been curious about... with the change in sizing nomenclature, how has the actual geometry relating to the sizing changed? for instance, my megatrail is a medium (and that was the sizing recommendation on the alloy frames for me, regardless of model), but with the new sizing tool you have it recommended a size 3 frame. sorry if this was covered elsewhere but i didn't see anything in any of the press releases.
Good question. First, the naming nomenclature was changed because many people said "I ride a large", and we said "not in GG sizing, we recommend a medium", and sometimes it just added unnecessary challenges. Combine that with bike sizing in general evolving, we thought it made the most sense to replace the XS/S/M/L/XL naming. Sizes 1-4 with the GeoAdjust headset actually covers a larger total size range than XS-XL, with more in-between sizes covered now as well.
Size 3 in the short setting is 3mm longer than the previous Medium. And Size 3 in the long position is 13mm longer than Medium, and similar to the previous custom "Extra Medium" in essence. Size 2 covers the previous Small, plus some ground that used to be in between Small and Medium.
If you compare geo charts, sometimes it appears that the previous gen was as long or longer, but it isn't, those reach number discrepancies are due to running geo numbers with longer travel forks on the 2019 version, which makes the reach look shorter.
thanks for this info. i get the part about the nomenclature, when people would try my bike and ask the sizing, i had to explain it to them too.
this gives me a follow up question - on my current MT (medium) i'm running a 40mm stem (and it feels super comfy), your sizing recommendation doo-hickey would put me on a size 3 frame, which is slightly longer, but also recommends a longer stem (50 or 60mm depending on the ride style). is this just trending of bikes getting longer and longer? i get the stem length is just a recommendation. but given the trend of bike's getting longer reach and a corresponding shorter stem, how do the longer stems (50/60) you recommend factor in?
My uneducated guess would be proper weighting of the front wheel.
Butt to hand measurements are similar going from 1st to 2nd gen Megatrail, and as above, similar from 2nd gen Medium to 3rd gen Size 3 (short). You could just prefer the bike a little shorter, or when the seat tube angle got steeper for 2nd gen, that could explain the difference (1st gen gets proportionally longer in cockpit as the seat gets higher).
50/60mm stem length recommendations are baselines to get folks as comfortable as possible. I wouldn't read too much into them, it's a baseline gathered from feedback over time. As far as weight balancing, yes, that's part of it, but to really dial that in, has to be done on a rider specific basis. I've done front/rear weight balance measurements, and leaning forward/back even just a little bit changes the weight balance at least as much as 10mm of stem length. It can easily change the balance from 60/40 to 55/45, for example.
