Westy,did you need a press tool like my old Hays I still have to pop out the main bolt? Or do they no longer require the tool these days? I am behind,as I was not aware of the new Reeb? That is the 150? Some more shots?

I can’t believe Neko didn’t get BuckoW to sign a non-disclosure to avoid all of this chatter. 
Really though Brother,is there a tool for the job? I understand tap her,just wondering if things are the same these days. Which got me thinkin. Would my old Hayes Tool work for other Models Today? I Must Know!
It is one of those tools you only use 1Time. Wonderful if you need it. I’m out.

Super soft rear on magic mary sticks like glue...
Wasn't cool enough to have magura hs33 hydro rim brakes on that one, did later though.
I had that bike in yellow with a kuster shock. Been a minute since that happened lol.

I used to want one of those or the LTS Mono so much when I was a grom. On my third ever DH race the kid behind me had a Weasel and I assumed "expensive bike - must be fast" so I panic sprinted my whole race run to avoid being passed and ended up with a podium.
Where I raced a person in the category before me had a Jedi, I had to ask for a two minute gap and I was on a hardtail.
Would have sold my soul for their Jedi, fuck it was awesome.

I can only relate to the titanium Flite sadle on this bike
I was mostly interested in XC in 1996. But the Sunn Radical was something I remember

Bottle dropper version the 2nd.
The big bolt holding the UDH can double as an emergency shock mount bolt.
This setup has me good for 1.5-2 hours. Longer rides vary. Once it gets too hot/humid or nasty cold/wet, the various bumbags/packs get used.

Steezl ftw!I accidentally a bright green thing
How are you liking the frame? I'm considering the new metal version of the tyee in 27.5.
mmmm...nu metal
There are many things I don't regret from leaving the bike industry.
But one thing I do miss & regret leaving behind was my relationship with Orbea bicycles.
They make the most absolutely fun & fast bikes I've ever had the good fortune to swing a leg over.
The back up, support & products were always in a league of their own for me.
Thankfully they still like me, & so yesterday my new bike was dispatched to me from the factory in Mallabia España.
I'm getting the 750wh battery version of one of these!

Hope to build it up with a few nice lil upgrades like TRP EVO DH brakes in gold & Galfer 2.0 rotors, DVO coil shock and Zeb Ultimates, Vee FlowSnap DH tires, cushcore, Chromag bars, PNW XL Loam grips...... Might also fit a 170mm PNW Loam post I have still sitting in a box?
People really should check out the new review on these things on pinkbike.

Yeah not so mad on that, but I've worked with the system enough now to know how to handle it quickly and easily when working on bikes.
Remember how I said it wouldn't be much different than my Ibis? I was very wrong.
I like it a lot. Coming from a Commencal Meta TR29 (the prior generation) It feels faster, and is much more poppy/playful vs. the just super planted feel of the Commencal. Which wasn't bad, but I prefer this for the mix of short up/down and techy rock jumbles of my local riding.
The back end is for sure flexier than the Commencal, but I'm not minding it.
Would assume the Tyee is a bit more stout, considering it's intended purpose.
It will be interesting to see how different it is from the Sqweeb.
Hope it is like the SST.
I’ve been on one for the last few months. Haven’t noticed any more flex than my last bike, Vitus Sommet. I am really, really digging the Tyee and a trail/huck/shuttle bike. Besides the under BB cable routing, I have zero complaints.
Very nice, thank you. What shock do you have on it?
Baller coward prongs! I assume they only work the DHRs and not the Quadiems?welcome, my fancy brethren.
ROLF!
All Evo models. Quadiems have more than enough adjustment, unless you just want to be part of Sparkle Motion.
Did you get the .8 or 1.2 frame bag? How's it fit and what's the sizing like?
I'm normally carrying phone, car key and cards on me, wife normally has to carry stans dart and CO2 inflator when we're on the DH bikes. I like the idea of a small bag where I can just have everything in that rather than on our persons.
She put a stans dart thing in her pocket? Man I would not want to fall on that...
Has the dart, a CO2 cart. and inflator head all in a thick little leather purse thing. But yeah, I don't want to fall onto phone and car keys either.She put a stans dart thing in her pocket? Man I would not want to fall on that...
At least a phone will offer some protection from pointy bits. But I guess that benefit might be offset if the battery is compromised.
I have a dart thing, but its such an awkward big shape, I have no easy way to put it on my bike. I need to fix my Lab Austere fanny pack so it can go in there.
I started with a 1.2 and then returned it for the .8. 1.2 didn't fit in my frame with water bottle and shock taken into account. The small/.8 just fits my wallet, keys, phone (standard size iphone - not a max) and a multi-tool.
If using a One-Up EDC pump, you can modify some bits.
This is for the goes on every bike packless setup.
Keys/phone/etc. in pockets, back of jersey or small frame bag.
Race Face Stash tank is very handy. All this and big h2o bottle has me good for ~ 2 hours depending on weather.
Lab Austere bum bag -> Camelbak Repack LR4 -> Osprey Raptor6 -> Osprey Raptor14
For longer/hotter/colder times.
