On the Revved Trail Pistol, Plush and Crush are the same height. You may just be very used to a taller bike, but check sag in case you’re sitting low in the travel and maybe add a few psi to help getting used to a lower BB.
Other than that, you’re welcome . Enjoy the corner slaying.

Gotta fiddle with it a bit more and double check sag, thinking about it some more my old bike was 150mm travel, so 30% sag on it probably did leave it that much higher off the ground. On the TP it definitely feels like the CoG dropped by about 18" compared to my Carbine leading to copious amounts of corner slaying.

The 787 first flew over ten years ago, the development cycle started a decade before that. The certification process for commercial aircraft materials is extremely expensive and most of the composite technology was adopted from the b-2 bomber which started development in the 1980s.

Ya know, if GG really wanted to create a profits volcano, they should start making Revved Crab0n teeth. I mean if I had a full crab0n grill, I wouldn't even bother with a full-face anymore...Be so rad to smash the fuck out of rocks (or guitars, tape decks, amps, etc) with your mouth.

Questions:

29er wheels on the Megatrail SS: folks wasted no time figuring out that hack. We've tried it, and it works; the BB height just gets a bit tall, mainly in Trail Mode. But it is doable, with said tire size limits (29x2.3, some 29x2.4's). It's not an official setup, but if you are interested in it, give us a call or email.

bringing this out of the vault
if I have a megatrail ss that is now running a megatrail shock (I think making it a regular megatrail)
can I switch this to having wagon wheelz? would be running shock in gravity mode

edit: or what linkages could I buy (aiming for trail pistol, but smash would be ok) to make wagonwheelz work?

big wheel induced euthanasia aside, you can run 29 with non-huge rubber in a shred dogg due to shorter stroke. The other way would be to call up gg to order correct rear end to convert. New stays are backwards compatible with your filthy alloy flexy heavy unridabru MT/SD front end.

If you run it as a Shred Dogg, aka Megatrail SS (57.5mm stroke shock) 29x2.3” works in Gravity Mode.
‘17 or ‘18 The Smash seatstays are a direct swap as well, and are intended to use the same 57.5mm stroke shock as the ‘17/‘18 Shred Dogg/Megatrail SS.

i didn't expect this response to take so long.

 

[rideit]

So, I am circling back a bit, would it be ‘possible’ to long shock a Smash to get a bit more travel out of it?
I think the Slayer is just too much bike, but would like at least 150-160mm of travel.
Thoughts?

Haven't heard great things about the 'playfulness' of the Megatrail. Same issue as I anticipate with the Slayer, but i will demo all of these bikes at the Wydaho Festival over labor day weekend. I lead a few rides for it, and try different bikes. everyone will be there.

You can experiment with long stroking The Smash, but tire/seat tube clearance will be limiting. If you run tires that aren’t too large in OD and don’t hit hard bottom outs very often, you may be able to get a bit more out of it.

Megatrail: I would imagine what you heard about lacking playfulness is a setup issue. It can be pretty poppy, especially in Trail Mode. Gravity Mode is pretty plowy, on purpose.

 

[rideit]

Thanks, I will mull this info over. Will you be up at Targhee?

Will not be at Targhee... the whole crew is focused on production. Although, you can hit up Bikes@RideGG.com to see about getting lined up with a BAMF, etc.

 

[jonKranked]

and you expect a shorter travel frame with larger diameter wheels will be more playful?

 

[Sandwich]

Shorter travel generally does make things more playful, yeah.

 

[jonKranked]

Shorter travel generally does make things more playful, yeah.

but the wheeeeeeelz

 

[jonKranked]

Shorter travel generally does make things more playful, yeah.

also, long stroking the smash to give essentially the same amount of travel as a megatrail would render that point null and void. i'm only halfway through my first coffee.

 

[jstuhlman]

BUT IS IT FLICKABLE???

@mtg - do you have a tool on the website to compare geometry between models?

 

[mtg]

@jonKranked there is no comparison tool, but open a few different browser tabs and compare that way.
